University Ridge Golf Course

University Ridge offers a variety of holes, wide, narrow, up and down that make it a fun course to play. They also keep the course in excellent condition.

I wish I could give a great review as I gave them a chance to reply to me before I went with this review. They didn't have time to comment back so I'm giving you what I saw. This being my first time I had high expectations as I had heard it was a great course. Let me start with the last guys comments...the greens are un puttable at this time and they're asking for $70 to pay for the cart I guess. They are Chinese Checkerboards and that's being generous...I had a putt take a right turn 12" before the hole. I've been on aerated greens before but never like this. How could they even open unless they haven't played the course they're charging for....maybe the owners are down south yet? Good luck to all that play here as there is winter kill all around the greens too. I've played a dozen courses in the state already and none of them as bad as this one. You might even ask if the sand traps are raked before starting as this didn't happen either. The overall presentation of the holes are great as the back nine plays much differently then the front. Great course but lacks in maintenance for the price. The bar and clubhouse are great although 4 of the 8 beers listed on the menu didn't exist. Again it's only April and maybe by late July the greens will come in but from the comments of prior years I'm not holding my breath. Lake Geneva courses are nearly 10 times better so I guess I'm spoiled with great conditions. I'm taking this off of my "must play again" list as I've seen enough.

The greens are poor. They were very slow and bumpy. For greens that were redone two years ago they are very poor

Course conditions were excellent considering it's late Fall. Play was very light, so no worries of staying on time or waiting to hit. It's a challenging course appears to be top of the line maintained. The staff was friendly, the brat was good, and it was a good round.

Beautiful course.The greens were a little slow because of aeration,but other than that we truly enjoyed the course.

I try to play this course at least once a year. Usually we come down to Madison in June but June was too wet to plan a visit so Fall it was.
An unbelievable football and golf weekend for the end of October in WI with 65 both Saturday and Sunday.
In every aspect this course is a must play.

I have played a lot of courses of equal condition for less money. Most of the holes are quite nice and challenging. I guess I expected more for my money.
Staff was all business, and not very friendly, except for the starter, who was both friendly and helpful.
It will be a while before I consider playing there again.
Sorry, it's just my opinion, and I have played a lot of courses. I would recommend it ,if you wanted to play some where close to home.

The course was in good shape, play was fast and staff was great!

Great course in great shape and great staff too. Course was renewed last year or two and it plays well.

Course was in great late Summer shape. Rough was up and sticky...bent grass fairways were wonderful. Recently revamped greens were rolling true and fast. Sand traps were immaculate. A nice challenge for all levels of golfer. Beautiful setting in the rolling countryside of Madison suburbs. Played white tees and spouse played reds, which was appropriate for our level of play.

Played the last two weeks as a twosome and really enjoyed the experience. The practice facilities are first rate, balls are included, huge practice green, and a practice bunker with green rank this course at the top of the list. Every hole is interesting, well bunkered and most involve elevation changes. Greens are fast but fair, and even playing 36 yesterday we weren't bored. Pace of play was excellent! I can't believe I missed playing this course until this year. Easily as good as Wild Rock, The Oaks, The Brute and Blackwolf Run Meadows courses IMO. 10 handicap.

Great, fun course to play! Very playable, but with appropriate challenges. Greens could have been faster. Speed on some appeared inconsistent with others. But overall I gave it. 5 Stars since 4 1/2 wasn't an option

UW Ridge is fabulous and the greens are in the best shape in ten years....fast and true. This course is always a joy to play and the staff always friendly/attentive. If you are in Madison, you have to play this course.

Great golf course, in great condition. I had a friend from Az and he kept saying what a GREAT course. He can't find a golf course in Az like this. Perfect!!!!!!!!

Perfection!! Impecable fairways & greens price was great on GolfNow.com

We da aawsome time golfing to course, will recommand to anyone.

Brian A. in the pro shop was excellent. He made sure everything was in order for us to have a great experience.

This was my first time playing U-Ridge in several years. The fairways were fast and tight and the greens rolled true. It's always a pleasure to play this course.

First time at University Ridge and it lived up to its reputation! Course design is beautiful, interesting and requires consideration for each shot.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Riding is a necessity from my point of view in order to enjoy the round.

A stunningly beautiful course, which helps keep everything in perspective should you hit a bad shot.

I will make it a priority to play again soon.

Absolutely brilliantly laid out course in the heart of a great city. Has a College feel throughout vs. a stuffy private club atmosphere. Youth abounds in this place but don't be fooled, golf is their #1 priority here & they get it. Pace is great & you will not be disappointed w/the premium they charge vs. the local competition. If you’re in town on business or pleasure make this stop, you won't be disappointed.
