We tried out Babe's at Vitense for a weekday lunch. The restaurant has lots of natural light and beautiful golf-related photo enlargements covering the walls. We both were impressed by the food: Fried cod sandwich with side salad and a cheeseburger with house-made potato chips. The breading on the cod was stellar with the perfect crunch and peppery flavor. Memorable dishes that make us want to return!

All of the other staff at the bar/restaurant - not very nice. We were denied non alcoholic beverages due to pregnancy because we aren't members (but present for a $40k or more wedding).

My husband and I had our wedding at Blackhawk Country Club and abosltuely loved it. Leading up to…read morethe wedding Orrin was very responsive and willing to look into whatever we asekd about. The venue was beautiful. The teneth tee overlooking Mendota was beautiful for a ceremony. The rest of the venue was just perfect, the building is so beautiful and there was enough space for people to get some quiet outside, chat by the bar area, or dance the night away on the dance floor. The food was great (even from people who don't usually like wedding food) and the cake was AMAZING. We would highly recommend Blackhawk for all weddings!!

Pleasant view is a really pretty and well-maintained golf course. For 9 holes it's about $23…read moredollars, and $12 per person for a cart. You can also see downtown (the capitol) from the course.

Pleasant View Golf Course is a solid golfing option on the west side of Madison…read more First off, the view (hence the name) from the clubhouse is amazing - from it's high hilltop location, you can see all the way down to Lake Mendota. The range is hitting off mats (like many places) and is decent value at $6/11/15 for small/medium/large baskets. They also a rangecard special where you can get $100 value for $80. The practice putting green is usually in good shape and is a good decently large area to practice your short game. As far as the course, I've only played the Billy Goat Par 3, and found it to be fun for beginners, with a range of distances from 90 to 180 yards. The greens and bunkers are maintained pretty well, given the harsh weather conditions in southern Wisconsin recently.

I've missed the old Golf Galaxy on High Point Road since they closed it many years ago. It served…read moreas another option to Nevada Bob's and Dick's Sporting Goods. I was happy to see them come back to their new store in Greenway. Walking through the store, it was clear that it was still very new. I felt like the first customer in there! As with the old store, you'll find plenty of options to shop - all the big brands for clubs, shoes, clothing, etc. There are simulators in the back where you can get help with your swing, or get fitted for new clubs. One thing I loved about the old location was the selection of used clubs - I'm not always keen on dropping big bucks on the newest models, but if I can find a nice deal on a gently-used club (with all the bad hits out of it, I assume!), I'm happy. As this store goes through a few seasons, the supply of used clubs will grow. The staff were super helpful and very friendly. Add Golf Galaxy back to my "stores to check out as I'm buying golf gear" list!

Don't get me wrong, these workouts aren't a walk in the park. Some of the toughest workouts I've done have been here. The trainers work one on one with you to make sure you're getting the most out of it. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good workout.

I found exactly that but also found out that he offers training for children on the autisim spectrum. I signed up both my kids and they love it. My youngest who has high functioning autism is getting much needed help with his balance, large motor skills, and overall fitness. They work on transitioning and Dave wants to eventually work on social skills with him in a group setting. My 15 year old who is a 4 sport athlete received an amazing workout. He is already in great shape and Dave had him working so hard he was vomiting 45 minutes in. If you are looking for hard core training to improve your overall athletic ability you will find it here. If you are looking for flashy surroundings with fancy equipment then this is not your kind of place. If you are more concerned with becoming a better athlete then this is exactly the place you are looking for.

Came here for my birthday with the girls and had a fun time! The space was clean, trendy and open…read more There are a total of 6 simulators (1 in a private room) and many sports options, to my surprise! The simulator rate is $20/hour (weeknight rate). Plenty of seating at the bar--along with a lounge'y space with a cute backdrop for photo-ops! I recall four beers on tap, and no drink specials. However, the menu did have a variety of "upscale" bar food! We ordered a fair amount but I only remember eating the curds (3/5) and fried green beans (5/5), which was my fave! PROS: I loved that we were able to try a variety of activities at our own pace! Each area had seating, enough for 6-7 people (sofas or bar stool/counter). Alcohol wipes were available. Music level was good and lighting slightly dimmed--great ambience! We got to chat with Collin (the owner) about his vision and learned that the simulators can pretty much play anything! This means events held here can be both adult AND kid-friendly--woo hoo! Just try not to bring a stroller here, as it's on the second floor with steep steps. Looking forward to more events here...and to what becomes of the outdoor space! CONS: We came on a Tuesday, so there was only one person working the bar + kitchen. Service was a slow as it got busy, and later into the night. There are only two private restrooms (which were nice and clean!). I can see this being a problem, especially for a place that can hold 100+ people. Will be back for more indoor fun!

We've booked a simulator for several birthdays and other special occasions. They have tons of games to choose from on the simulators; golf, baseball, basketball, zombie dodgeball, soccer, and more! It is so much fun when you get a good simulators! We've noticed that some simulators don't work as well or maybe aren't aligned. Some of the equipment they provide is faulty as well. When everything is working well, it's a 5/5 star experience! They also have food and drinks you can purchase while you are playing. I've only tried one of the appetizers but I haven't tried the rest of the food. The appetizer my group got was delicious and the drinks are always good as well. The bartenders and servers are wonderful as well. They are alway super helpful and friendly. They do have happy hour and other specials as well so keep an eye out for those. Overall, if they make sure the simulators are working properly and replace the broken equipment, 7 Iron would be a consistent 5/5 experience in my opinion.
