We were in town and looking for a good place to eat and excited to try this joint, with a 4.4 star…read morerating. We've always had good food in Madison and even though we wanted to get home after a long day, we thought it would be worth the delay. Unfortunately, this time, it wasn't worth it. I feel like it's time and money wasted. I'll get to details, but I'm mainly basing this review on the quality of the food I received. Before getting to the food, our service was great. Our server was a bit slow considering there were only 3 tables (including us) occupied. Or it's more of a relaxed atmosphere, so she was just giving us a lot of time to look over the menu. But aside from that, she was friendly, helpful, and kind. Atmosphere is on the dark side. There are two screens to play games (golf, etc) on two corners of the building. I think there are plenty of options, but we were mainly in for food, and didn't really get much info on the games. I did ask whether they were run on a reservation basis, and the hostess (who was also our server) said yes. She didn't mention any pricing, so I'm not sure what the details on that is. Margarita special $5 This was great. Not overly sweet, and just the right amount of booze. It came in a whiskey cup rather than a margarita one. 3sheep chaos pattern on draft Price for draft beer is not cheap, and the beer was great. The glass it came in was super clean, but also warm. I think it just came out of the dishwasher... So clean, but beer glasses should be cold on principle. Wings The description says these are baked, and then fried before tossed in their sauce. The sauce is yummy. The wings are a fairly large size. But I think they forgot to fry it. The skin on the wings weren't at all crispy, but kinda mushy. The meat was well cooked, but also on the dry side. The celery sticks and carrot rings on the side were super fresh and crispy. Blind burger with side salad I ordered it done medium. It came out very well done. For a wagyu, it lacked fat content, and cooked for too long, so it was very dry. We had just hiked 4 hours at Devil's Lake and quite hungry, but I couldn't finish it. Seasoning was great though. And the side salad was also very fresh. Brussels sprouts Something I haven't done in the last 15 years... I had to ask them to redo it. It came out with underdone Brussels. Interestingly, after I asked them to heat it up more for me, it came out perfect, with the right amount of searing on all the cut sides. Overall, it feels like the kitchen was having a bad day and bad timing - wings needed to get in the fryer for longer, burger should've been out of the pan sooner, Brussels should've stayed in longer. For the prices I paid, I expect better food. Especially since the kitchen knows how to fix their stuff! It was like they put 70% into all the dishes until I spoke up. Would I go back? Nope. Not convinced that the 4.4 rating is justified for me.

Door Creek golf course is a nice track just East of Madison in Cottage Grove. The price is a…read morelittle high and the course is a very walkable layout with some nice juicy water holes. The bunkers and Tees boxes could use some loving care but the fairways and greens are very very nice. Depending on the precipitation, the roughs encourage a player to stay in the fairways as they can wreak havoc on your second shots. Played in late October and the down leaves did not cause any issues in the way of finding balls throughout the course. I will definitely return as it is easy to get to from the Madison area. Facilities are definitely dated for this price range.

The vibe is trendy and fresh. It was busy when we first arrived, so we waited a little to use the bays, but we just ponied up to the bar and enjoyed a beverage while catching up with old friends. Once our bay opened up, we headed over and started warming up. The bartenders were very friendly, and they checked on us often. We hadn't had dinner, so we ordered the giant pretzel and the ultimate nachos. Both were delicious! The pretzel was very good - it came with beer cheese and mustard that had a slight cinnamon taste to it that made it really tasty. We enjoyed a few moscow mules with our appetizers. Long green couches line the ends of the hitting bays, as well as a coffee table and some high top tables and chairs. There is plenty of room for your party, and the only complaint I have is that it would be nice if there were bag stands - I felt like all of our golf bags were in the way a bit. Otherwise it's very spacious and open! When you step up to hit the ball, there are easy to use buttons that mechanically put the ball on the tee for you. You can then knock it down if you want to hit off the mat and/or putt. I like that there are also buttons if you want to move the tee up and down, and you can use the computer screen to aim when putting to take into account any break. It really is simple to use and very fun! Next time I will probably check out the Middleton location instead, as it's closer to me, but overall this is in a great area and I highly recommend it!

We needed a coucliser to Madison, so this time one of our party did have to drive by us in the Milwaukee area for once,so I looked them up. Reasonably priced(if you play after 4:30 ,$51 for 18 w/cart,otherwise it's $62 ish) so we booked for after 4:30( gotta move if you wanna get the full 18 in).Nice setup with a driving range and putting green for practice and a decent pro shop and decent bar and eating area(they also had an auction going on in a separate event tent,which I assume is also used for weddings).The course has multiple tee boxes,and I do mean multiple,in order to make it easier or tougher,depending on you skill level.Their carts are really nice ,with yardage led screens and ball washers and divot repair bottles to fill in the divots course is well manicured and has several hazards to challenge you.That brings me to the one reason I don't give them 5 stars,the greens.Given the quality of the rest of the course,it was very disappointing in their quality. They were mowed well,but lots,and I mean lots of roughness all over( could be lots of the golfers just didn't pick up their feet),which at most courses I've played, were never as bad as this and were taken care of better.I definitely expected better given the quality of the rest of the course. All in all,still a pretty decent value.

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.
