Opened in 1923, Madison Country Club is one of the oldest courses in the area. It has a traditional design that measures to a modest 6,145 yards from the back tees. The golf course may be short by modern standards but this member-owned course has been a local favorite since it first opened. The classic layout has wide, player-friendly fairways that offer plenty of room and the terrain is mostly flat, making it a good golf course to walk. There are a few mature trees scattered throughout and you'll also come across some strategically placed bunkers as well. Madison Country Club is ideal for beginners but it's also a great round of practice for more advanced players. In addition to the golf course, there is also a driving range and short-game area at the club.

Sunday morning

Normal expected crowd for a Sunday morning, I got out right at the scheduled tee time. Took just under 5 hours to play 18. (4:45) course was in good condition, greens were really fast, and hole placement was easy, and appreciated! I would recommend this course to anyone who is comfortable paying $50 for a round on a Sunday. I usually avoid sundays, because of crowds and extra cost. However this was worth it very nice layout and it was in great shape. Get there early and take advantage of the putting greens.

There is potential.

This course definitely has potential to be a hidden gem once proper course conditions are restored. For now, largely just a good value if you go in with the right expectations. This is a very narrow track with most holes being tree-lined. Some of the greens are a little burnt out around the edges but otherwise roll well. The fairways and tee boxes are in decent shape, just cut a little long (which is understandable given the time of year). The bunkers are basically ground under repair. Sand seemingly has not been replaced in a long time and there are no rakes around to even attempt to manicure them if you wanted to. Pro shop and snack bar are nothing to write home about but they do have some small town charm. This place has potential if given the right TLC but I’d still come back just for the interesting layout.

Pleasant surprise; only about 30-35 minutes away from Cleveland. Great rate for 18 holes; pace very good and some challenging holes.

Will return!

Course is always in good shape. We had a great day. It was busy so the pace of play was slower than usual.

Space out your tee times!

We got there about 4:10 for our 4:30 tee time. There were no golf carts available, so we sat and waited for people to finish. Which was about 10-15 mins. The first tee box had a 6 cart back up. Ended up with a 4:50 tee. Throughout the match we were waiting at the boxes. Players said the place does this often. Please quit the money grab and give your players some time to play the course.
