It was an interesting process for him to get a tee time - members rule the roost at Hawk's, so you take what you can get. Thankfully, they found us a great tee time on a Friday morning - perfect. The course is fantastic. Granted, there are challenges to playing a course for the first time. You don't know where those hidden "gotchas" are. Like - hole #1. It looks like a nice, wide fairway. My drive rode down the left side of the fairway and looked to be in great shape. When you drive up, you realize at the edge of the fairway, it drops off and feeds into some wild grass. I went from "yay" to "boo" in seconds. While I was able to find my ball and hit onto the green from there, I think I could have done better off the tee knowing what was up ahead. But I digress... The entire course has character. Many courses have a few signature holes that everyone remembers while we forget the 14 other drab "straight and boring" holes. But not this course. There is character galore here! I'm not a big fan of courses that have houses along the fairways, but it's not a big problem here. They're only in range if have a terrible hook or slice. While I can slice with the best of them (and did a couple times), I only ended up in one yard (and barely). Some of the houses are pretty impressive and add to the experience. If you insist on a woodsy, all-nature golfing experience, this isn't your course. We didn't have any problems with friendliness - not from other golfers (members) or the staff. Everyone was quite nice and the smiles were out everywhere. I can't afford to golf here often, but if I could, I'd love to.

If you enjoy playing ball, having a cold beer, and having fun with some friends - this is a good place for a league. The umpires are excellent - I've known a few for many years and they do a great job. The fields are smaller, but "good bats" are limited, keeping home runs down a little (but it feels good to get one - it still goes plenty far!). I hope they stick around for a long time - I love playing there on Tuesday nights.

No rangers to monitor play which is badly needed for this course. Durning the week expect floppy hat seniors to crawl along at their own pace regardless of golf etiquette. Nothing kills the game more than the group that goes to each players ball and watches them hit. Then they all go to the next players ball and watches that player hit. Simply put...brutal.

I can't believe I golfed in December! Kudos for Odana Hills for opening up during some tropical…read morewinter weather. The course was super busy - groups on every hole, with lines at #1 and #10. We signed up for all 18, but after 9 holes we bailed out because it would have taken too long to get on the back 9. The course itself is decent. The location is nice, right in town and convenient to all the businesses around it. The design is okay. It's great for struggling hitters, as an errant slice or hook won't be lost in a woods (for the most part) - you just take your next shot from the neighboring hole's fairway. So, if you're struggling with your game, this is a nice course to work on your craft. You won't find the exotic, scenic holes of the Dells courses - this is a pretty basic course in a convenient location. This isn't the first course I'll choose to go to, but if there's a decent deal and it's convenient, I'll hit this with no problem.

Sorry for the three stars, guys... this is a combination of the course itself and how I golf…read morethere. The course is relatively flat, which makes it great for walking - except for the distance between some holes. Even while carting it can feel like a long haul from one green to the next tee box. I'm not sure if that could be rearranged or if they're just stuck with that layout. Either way, I tend to cart there. There is plenty of water on this course, and always where my ball wants to go! This is a very challenging course if you're not the straightest hitter. Most of the holes require some sort of control, so if your driver is erratic, you might want to put it in time-out and tee off with an iron. I've always found the greens and fairways in very good shape - the greens can run fast, so be prepared - try to stay below the hole if you have that kind of control. For some reason, it always seems to be windy when I'm golfing here. Perhaps that is because the course is so flat and in an open part of the county. Of course, the wind *always* wants to blow my shots into the water! LOL I've scored okay here, but generally feel like I'm struggling through the round. A lot of thought goes into which club you will hit. If the yardage says "7-iron", the wind might require you to hit a 6-iron so you don't fall short into water. This course really makes you think. The Meadows is a good test - if you feel like you're hitting well, come here to see if you really are. You won't find a lot of woods getting in your way, but the water makes up for that... I love the location in Waunakee - very convenient for many parts of the Madison area. I'd like to see them run some more deals. For the money, I'd rather play elsewhere, but I ccould be lured in with a nice weekday deal.

I used to hit Tumbledown Trails often. It was close, and relatively affordable golf. Fast forward…read moreto 2021 - it's gone, but here's Pioneer Pointe in its place. Pioneer Point is an upscale executive course comprised of 13 holes - all par 3s except for a par 4. The course was mostly reconstructed compared to the previous layout, but if you remember Tumbledown, you'll recognize a few things. A couple holes are essentially the same (though higher quality with a few tweaks). Overall, the course is quite pleasant. The quality of the fairways, rough and greens is really good. The bunkers are well-kept, too. Skilled golfers will appreciate the consistency of the playing surface throughout the course. A lot of care has been put into this course. The hole layouts were well thought out. While a "par 3" course, golfers can be challenged by well-placed bunkers and strategic carries over prairie grass fields. What makes things really interesting are the tee boxes. There are no color-coded tee markers. Tee off wherever you like! There are yardage markers around the tee box areas, so you can pick your distance. Working on your longer irons? Tee off farther back. Want to carry a bunker? Slide over and change your angle. The idea is that you make the holes what you want them to be. Honestly, I like this approach. If you're competing with your buddies, simply agree on where you're all teeing off... But why only four stars, Tom? For me, I like the more traditional course layouts. Give me 9 (walking) or 18 (carting), with par 3, 4 and 5 holes. I can see others being drawn to the 13-hole layout, and maybe over time I'd warm up to that concept. Also - we walked the course. Especially in the beginning and end, there is quite a lot of walking between holes. While I don't mind getting my steps in, if you're being tailed by 2 people in a cart, they will probably catch you. The course is pretty new, so I don't know if there are plans to do more out on the course itself. But more yardage markers would be appreciated. There are a few around the tee boxes, but on the longer holes, when you're in the fairway, the only way you'll know your distance to the green is with a laser range finder. The course is not in my golf apps, so I can't use that for scoring or yardage. At one point, i had no idea how far out I was, and I had to guess (it didn't work out well). I may be back. For the money, I can find a round of 18 with a cart not too far away. If I need to get in a quicker round closer to home, this would suffice. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played there yet - then everyone can decide for themselves if they would want to go back.
