University Ridge Golf Course

I would of expected more coming from the capitol of Wisconsin. Course conditions looked like the Arizona desert. I guess they had one thing going for them at least they had water available on the course. 7.00 for a bottle water. Whoa! Pace of play was literally a free for all. We finished just over 5 hours. The price is normally 100.00 to play I’m glad I got away with 80.00. They had a full landscaping crew all over the middle of the round. No thanks from me and the three I played with.

U Ridge is a great and enjoyable course to play. Greens rolled at 11, smooth - though still early in the year there were signs of last fall aeration - visible but not impacting roll. With good spacing between tee times the pace was nice, waiting for group in front was rare. Friendly service from the pro shop team. One of the best options in madison area by far.

Fantastic course with beautiful views. Tried getting on all summer and finally was able to on November 22nd. Condition was expected for this time of year. Staff and food were okay.

Course was immaculate! Went out as part of a foursome of average to above average players and found the course challenging but not intimidating. Pace of play was quick but not rushed and would HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone.

Usually get here once or twice per year with 4-8 golfers. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Cart makes picking your shot fair with rolling hills and blind shots which otherwise would make decisions very tough. We will be back.

Senior Tour will play here in a couple of months, Big Ten Tournament sooner. Greens aerated in October still are not sanded smooth. Putting on a surface where some aeration holes are filled and others are not is really not acceptable. It’s really not about my experience because the course needs the grass to grow now, so big events can be held. I’ve played here many times over the years and I know conditions will improve as summer approaches. Today the play should have been free. Totally substandard for early season.

University Ridge is my favorite course in this area. It's will laid out and always in excellent condition.
I do, however, often find the check in people cold and unfriendly. As far as amenities go, today I wanted to get lunch at the turn and was informed my only option was a hot dog or brat. There were a lot of people on the course and I don't understand why the kitchen couldn't have offered a wider selection.
