Dealing with the staff was easy (via phone or in person) - super friendly folks with all the answers to our questions. They have a nice little practice green, and a great driving range. The whole facility is well kept. The course is in really good shape. Probably the fastest greens I've played all season. We didn't notice many (any?) weeds. The greens were clean, and the immediate rough around greens and fairway were pretty decent. The layout is fairly basic - just par 3s and 4s (for the primary 9 at least - we didn't hit holes 10, 11 or 12). The most "character" you'll find is a picturesque tee shot over a mid-fairway fountain. No dog-legs are bends on this course - all straight shots. Along with straight shots - accuracy is required as most holes are pretty tight. There's not a lot of forgiveness if you're not in the fairway. You'll be in the woods, prairie grass or, on the more "open" holes, punching out from under a tree. I'd consider playing here again. Would I pay rack rate? Probably not when I could find a round at a full par-72 course for a couple more bucks. But getting a deal helps (see various golf deal websites) If I lived close, I'd consider a membership as it's fairly affordable for what you get.

They just installed 2 new simulators so you can golf even if the weather doesn't allow it! The…read moresimulators are extremely spacious with many seating areas if you want to come with a larger group or family. The quality of the simulators is the best I have played on. The course itself is also nice because there are long par 3s to challenge more advanced golfers but also shorter holes for your beginners. Friendly staff as well. Great experience!!

A really decent fish fry and weather permitting a beautiful outdoor seating area. Generally, you…read moredon't go through the main entrance you go down the drive to the side of the building and that's where the outdoor seating is. There's quite a few tables and chairs, but even so on a busy summer evening it might be full. As good as the food is here, the service can be a little iffy, and the bar service can be very slow. This evening three of us ordered gin and tonics which came without limes in them. This is like sacrilegious to gin and tonic drinkers. You shouldn't have to ask for limes in this drink. The other thing that was irritating is that salt and pepper was not on the table and butter did not come with the entrées which included baked potatoes. It was brought on request but it's just odd that they wouldn't have have these things on the tables already. Our waitress was a high intern so we went easy on her and hope she learned something from us. We still tipped her well. That said it's a great Wisconsin fish fry place and worth stopping for.

I had never golfed here before it was transformed into its current design. At the insistence of a…read morefriend who lives near the course we gave it a try. I have now golfed here twice and really enjoyed the experience. I like the nine hole format without any par 5s. The course is super interesting with beautiful wildflower plantings (don't hit into them because you would never find your ball). The greens are rolling and devilish. Sections of thick grass bunkers are nearly impossible to hit out of even if you find your ball. It is hilly especially the ninth hole. The practice green is super entertaining. The only down side is that the price for nine is higher than the other Madison courses. Fun experience!

This course was a lot fun but also striked us a bit dangerous. There a ton of blind spots and the…read moreholes are close together. I heard fore called multiple times throughout our time in the course. We also found several golf balls on the course like more than I normally see when golfing. A neat thing about this course is that there are 4 different sets of tees at each hole so you play different courses. They are also spread out quite a bit. There are natural wildflowers all over the place which adds quite a bit of beauty. Staff in the clubhouse were friendly. We snagged the last two carts thanks to our friends who got here early. This course is definitely walkable but pretty hilly.

I've been golfing Deer Valley for many years, and I love it there - it's my "go to" course,…read moreespecially when I can't find a great deal on something else. First, Deer Valley is an affordable course. I love to golf, but can't afford to shell out top-shelf prices for a round. HOWEVER, Deer Valley isn't exactly a cheap "hacker's course". There's a wide variety of hole styles to keep your attention, highlighted by their signature par-3 #5 that takes you 120 yards out, but straight down to a soft green. The view is intimidating, but it's a hole you could shoot at for hours. Immediately after #5, you're challenged to drive over the rocky, steep face that you just came down. There are holes with blind tee shots over hills, hard dog-leg turns, and plenty of terrain to navigate. I haven't even mentioned hole #1 - a long par 5 up a big hill (and almost always into the wind). Once you get past that hole, the rest doesn't feel too bad. Deer Valley is extremely scenic with tee boxes overlooking vast valleys. In the fall, the colors are breathtaking. Being removed from the big city, it's one of the most peaceful courses I've been on. Keep an eye on your ball, but don't forget to take in the scenic views and watch for wildlife! It's beautiful there! The new "Valley" nine is nice, but I still like the Ridge and Prairie best. Valley is a little tighter and most of the holes run in, you guessed it, the valley... Definitely a course worth hitting. If you're a prude and want to be addressed as "Mister", have your clubs cleaned by some high school boy working for tips, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a course that is great bang for the buck, to hang out with some friends and have a great time - hit Deer Valley.

Our group of four had a group of three behind us and a group of two were following them. We were considering quitting and getting our money back after hole 3 when their rules guy came out to tell us to play faster. That made us all upset and affected our golf games as well. It is common courtesy to allow an oncoming group to pass, which we were doing, yet the course rule enforcement guys were dictating our pace. We decided on playing four player scramble in order to keep up. This course should consider becoming private if they are pushing this on everyone. I will not be coming back unless they ease off.
