My wife and I try to play this course at least once a year, even though it is 90 miles from home. The greens and fairways are always in great shape. We enjoy the elevation changes which can be a challenge for proper club selection. The course offers some spectacular views of the greater Madison area.

The course was very well maintained with smooth greens and lush fairways. For someone who hits their drives in the 190 to 200 yard range, the course is fairly long from the white tees. There are modest elevation changes along with some tight tree lined fairways that add interest to the course. Excellent clubhouse and friendly staff.

The three nines are all different in character. A fair amount of water comes into play on the Bridges and some tight fairways are the highlights of the Westwoods. The course was in decent shape, but not what I would call pristine. It is a fun course to play for the average golfer. Friendly staff.

The course is always a challenge for the average golfer with fast undulating greens and deep bunkers. Fairway bunkers and high mounds are well placed to catch errant drives. A poor shot at the wrong time can cost dearly.

The course is fun to play from the middle (white) tees for someone who normally hits a drive 200 yards. The forward tees shorten the coarse considerably for the less experienced golfer. In past years the course was in very good shape all season long, but this year some of the greens experienced winter kill and are not in the best of shape. The greens still putted ok and were reasonably fast. The fairways are in excellent shape
