Maple Bluff Country Club

Maple Bluff is a great private golf course on the East side of Madison. Maple Bluff definitely requires some serious shot shaping skills. Very important place to put the ball in the right spot and distance off the tee. Lots of short par 4s put well guarded by bunkers and trees. They have done an excellent job trimming up trees so you have shots all the time. Greens run pretty well but with how much slope is in those greens it makes it tough get them running any faster.

The 2nd hole has an awesome view of the lake and is a great par 4. Par 3s are so well done with the framing of the trees. Par 5s are accessible but requires 2 great shots.

Maple Bluff is a really nice course just feels very tight could've been just me as there is plenty of room to maneuver around.

All in all it is a really nice private course anyone in Madison would be happy to be at.

As a member, I'm biased. Been playing at Maple Bluff for 20 years. I love this course dearly. Not the most difficult course but there is on fundamental rule--if you're not in the fairway, don't attempt to advance the ball. Hit back into the fairway and take your medicine!

The course is stunningly beautiful, always in magnificent condition, and the greens are fair but form the defense of the course. Albeit short, long hitters have no advantage. Precision and course management, along with a great putting stroke, will yield good results.
