Riley's on the Green is an indoor golf simulator in downtown Janesville, WI. Only open during the…read morewinter, this golf simulator is a great way to keep your golf swing loose while waiting for spring to arrive. ROTG is appointment only so you will have to call and book a tee time in order to play golf. (608)-756-4949 Prices: 18-Holes $25 per person, 9-Holes $12.50 per person. The staff does ask for anyone who makes an appointment to please be specific in regards to how many golfers will be joining you, it makes sense seeing as they base the next available tee time after you off of how many people will be with you. Food & Drinks: ROTG has an array of beers and liquor. All food is made by Riley's Sports Bar and Grill which is about a 100 yards down the street from ROTG. It's all very convenient, unlike at a non-virtual golf course, at ROTG you will never have to wait for the beverage cart to come to your hole and sell you drinks, The bar is located right behind the simulator. Golf Courses: At Riley's on the Green there are about 40 different courses to choose from. ie: Bay Hill, Firestone, Harbour Town, Kapalua, Torrey Pines, Cog Hill, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, St. Andrews, ect... Golfing: You can hit every club in your bag, there is a driving range to warm up on, you choose the course you would like to play. From driving to putting you can do it all. Overall it is a great experience, you can sit down, have a few beers, eat, and watch any sporting event on the large projection screen by the bar all while playing 18 holes at Pebble Beach with a few buddies. Definitely helps relieve that winter itch to go golfing.

I really like this course. It's a nice combination of woods, elevation change, and character. The…read more#12 par 3 is great - a short hole, usually under 100 yards, but you have to flop your shot over a big oak tree in front of the green. You don't see that very often. Also, watch for the correct green on #1 - as you come down the fairway, you'll see #16's green straight ahead, a little to the right, while #1's green is off to the left a bit. Don't be fooled! The course is kept up nicely. I was there early this spring - even after rainfall - and the course was in great shape. The fairways weren't chewed up yet, and the greens were healthy and sleek. I had a small issue last time out - not with the course, however. My son and I had a foursome roll up behind us on the 9th tee with poor etiquette (playing their radio loudly at the tee box while we were trying to tee off, among other things). At the turn, the folks in the clubhouse asked how our round was going and I mentioned that group. We weren't bothered for the rest of the round, so they seem to have handled it. Based on that, as well as how we were treated when we arrived, I would say the staff are great! Very friendly and they care that you enjoy your round properly. I really wish this course were closer to home - it's about an hour drive for me. But if I find the right deal, it's worth the drive.

Maybe I'm ranking this high because I shot well. Maybe not. :)…read more This course is in great shape. You can tell they take pride in the condition of all aspects from greens, to fairways, and even the parts I have to hit from! The layout is entertaining. It's not your municipal back-and-forth layout. And the holes that do run along each other - those have decent separation (woods, wild grass) and space so you're not worried about an errant shot. When we were there, the greens were tough, but fair (not overly fast, but a good read was important). Some tee shots were tight - if you aren't an accurate driver, don't be afraid to hit something a little straighter (typing this is more of a reminder to me for next time - lol). Janesville is a bit of a drive for me, but it's totally worth it for this course - especially if you can find a deal (weekdays, evenings...) BONUS to be by the airport if you enjoy seeing aircraft taking off - anything from small commuter planes to military aircraft like the osprey and apache helicopters.

The course is in decent shape. The back nine is challenging for golfers of all calibers. Tight…read morefairways with mature trees lining up the fairways are a sight to be seeing, Good tee placement is a must. The greens were also in fairly good shape, and they are challenging. Placing an approach shot in the right green level is a must to avoid 3 putts. Overall the golf course is beautiful and challenging. Our experience however was not very nice. As we are turning into the back 9 they decided to shotgun an outing right in front of us. They simply asked us to bypass 10 and play it after completing the round (more about this to come). We thought the outing was teeing off behind us, but to our surprise the outing was teeing off on 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. We were playing with the outing!. That was chaotic, and no ranger to be seeing. This created a slow play situation that turned dangerous as outing players started to loose their patience and kept hitting golf balls that landed way too close for comfort. The fact there was an outing scheduled was not mentioned when we called for a reservation, or when we arrived at the clubhouse. It was a "surprise" at the turn. Once we completed holes 11-18 there were two foursomes, one teeing off and another waiting on Hole 10. I truly wonder if anybody is coordinating golfers in the course and for sure customer service is deficient at best. When we finished they were courteous but did not try to remedy their mistake. We paid to play 18 holes, called for a reservation and they decided to put an large outing on top of us without telling us and offered no apologies or restitution for their mistake. We traveled far to play Glen Erin, and left with a bad impression. I will not travel to Glen Erin as their reservation system means nothing, and they don't care about customer experience. I wish I can give a better rating as the golf course has potential.

Next to those promotions were more signs with explanations as to why the bridges were out along with pictures of the damage the flood caused. Blackhawk has been very open about the situation, process, & special reduced rates. All you had to do is read one of the 5 signs posted or ask the person behind the counter and surely they would've accommodated. The total extra amount of walking on the relatively flat & short 2857 yard course was around 700 yards. Which is roughly around the same distance of walking the front or back nine at Riverside, Glen Erin, or the Country Club. Now with the bridge on Hole #6 complete the total amount of extra walking is around 300 yards. Blackhawk is doing their best with the hand they were dealt this season & have been accommodating to the best of their abilities.

As a beginner golfer (2 months), I recently had the opportunity to play at this course. I am…read moresharing my golf journey and experience at different courses through the lens of a newbie. Firstly, I must mention that the absence of many hazards on this course was a relief for me. As someone who is still learning the ins and outs of golf, it was nice not to have to worry about many bunkers, water hazards, and rough terrain. Oak Ridge offered a relatively hazard-free environment, which allowed me to focus on improving my swing and getting the basics right. One of the standout features of this course was the friendly and welcoming customer service. The staff was friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcomed before we teed off. On this particular day, they did not offer drink service on the course. They mentioned they typically do, however their cart staff was at a golf competition. However, I must admit that the layout of the course had its quirks. The holes seemed to be placed quite close to each other, which created a somewhat crowded feel on the course. It could be a bit challenging to concentrate on my own game when another group was playing on an adjacent hole. At one point, my husband actually got hit in the hand by another golfer's ball. The greens were is decent shape - some better than others. But tough pin placement - many located on a hill. As you can imagine, my newbie balls struggled getting up there. We go a new course each time we golf and collect ball markers. Sadly, they didn't have ball markers for sale.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything you did to help make our 2nd Annual…read moreGolf Outing such a great experience. We had a few last-minute changes with our group size, and your staff was very flexible and accommodating throughout. With a mix of newer golfers and more experienced players, pace of play was a bit slower at times, but everyone was patient and understanding, which we really appreciated. The staff inside the clubhouse was excellent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. The check-in process in the pro shop was just as smooth--everyone was helpful and welcoming, and even assisted us with setting up some individual games for the round. We also appreciated how seamless everything felt from start to finish. The communication was clear, the setup was organized, and it made the entire day easy for our group. We had about 20 people participate, and everything ran smoothly despite the size of the group. The golf course itself was beautiful. If you're in the Madison area, it's definitely a course worth playing. We've been doing this outing for a couple of years now, and this was by far our best experience. We truly appreciate the hospitality and effort from everyone involved, and we're looking forward to coming back again next year. Thank you again, Dominique

It helped that I saw some golf carts buzzing around an undersized parking lot. Checking in is easy - the staff are quite friendly and helpful. Inside, the clubhouse looks to have gone through some renovations, but we didn't spend much time inside. The course itself - so much to say. First, I don't think I'd want to walk it. The holes themselves aren't bad. Yardage wise, the course isn't terribly long (par 34/36).. But the layout would be a tough walk. There is quite a hike between a few holes - I wish I had grabbed a scorecard so I could say for sure, but there were a few "pleasant drives" in the cart to some tee boxes. I don't know if they could rearrange the layout to balance it out more - I'm sure they've thought of that. There were some interesting holes - the rolling layout keeps you thinking, and can hind some features you may not know about. Some of the par 3 holes are longer (I think one was nearly 230 yards). Some par 4 holes are shorter - tempting you to drive it. You'd think the course would be easy with those holes, but narrow fairways and tight turns make you lay up more than you probably want to. I'll chalk up a few of my strokes today as "I'da scored better had I been more familiar with the layout"... The front 9 is more wooded. The back nine is a little more open. The TL;DR of it all - if you're not consistently straight off the tee, this course could frustrate you. Stray shots will punish your score. Otherwise, it's a pretty course with some character. I'd golf it again, I suspect, but with all the other options in the area, and closer to me, it probably won't be a frequent stop for me.
