About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7243 yards
Slope 136
Rating 75.1

Hawks Landing Golf Club is situated on the western side of Madison. It is a semi-private course but it is always open for public play. The course boasts excellent conditions and features bentgrass from the tees to the greens. The lengthy layout stretches to 7,243 yards from the back tees. Long hitters are sure to enjoy this golf course but it will test not only your ability to hit long but also your accuracy. Numerous strategically placed bunkers lurk throughout and the greens are much tougher than they look thanks to the undulating landscape, which also present golfers with a few tricky uneven lies. There are also water hazards that come into play on a few holes. Hawks Landing Golf Club offers a fair test but it is not overly punishing or difficult.

Were not told....

In general, Hawks is a delight to golf. This time, we were not advised that one (or more) greens would be blocked off (sand trap "redesign") AND their course pricing did not reflect the reconstruction condition. Very disappointing.

Excellent Layout

This is an oustanding course and facility. The layout is excellent as it works through the hills and valleys of Verona. Playing from the tips is all you can ask for. The vision the professional staff and crew have for the course is evident in the challenging way in which it is set-up. There are closely mown run offs dropping from most greens into long fescue grasses. Bring extra golf ball to play here as missing your target can have you digging though the hay for your ball. There is a wide variety of holes and different tees to accommodate all golfers. We paid $65 on a weekend and it was a great value. Great practice facility as well however the tee faces down wind which can be troubling to some people.

Great once in a while course for the average golfer.

This course was awesome. The greens were the most challenging part of the course, extremely fast compared to the average course and it took me a while to get used to that. I will definitely be playing here again sometime.

Beautiful Course, Great Experience

My experience here from start to finish was nothing but top notch. Assistant pro in clubhouse was very sincere and helpful, clubhouse and bar were very nice. Carts are great, probably the only negative was no gps on the carts, but not an issue, I had a gps watch, and my playing partners had gps devices as well. Range use was part of the overall fee, and it was great. Bent grass, lots of space, well marked also. Plenty of flags to aim at. Near the range was a short game/bunker practice area, that was great as well. Putting green very nice. And now the course. Wow. Extremely well conditioned, with generous landing areas. Definitely the difficulty is amped up coming into the green. Greens are slick, need to stay under the hole. We played the black tees, 6788 yards, and that gave me all I could handle. Bottom line, this is a great course and is a must play if in the area.

Great course for Hot deal

Played here many times. Great golf course. Nice layout and challenge. Course typically in great shape. Greens usually roll very well, however on this day---a Sunday---they were slow and bumpy. Not sure why but still give it a great rating. Very playable--all right in front of you.

Great course

Had a great time playing Hawks for the first time. Course is in great shape after the major rains that came through, of course some bunkers need repair but overall it's in great shape. I would recommend going back one more tee box than you usually do to add a little distance. Overall great time, thanks Hawks.

Great Greens to Putt on

Excellent course to putt on. Greens are fast and true. Course is moderately difficult, so high low handicappers have a great time.
