By the time we left, there were 40+ patrons, but the bartender was doing a really admirable job keeping up!! I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Buffalo Sauce. It was very good and the fries were plentiful, hot, and crisp. My wife got the Chipotle Bowl. It was a colorful, fresh collection of veggies and chicken. Very tasty. Drinks were good, lots of TVs with various sports, bar and table seating, and of course golf simulators. Looked like there was outdoor seating for the appropriate season-definitely not a Saturday in March!! Once it got busy the noise level was pretty energetic near the bar where everyone was congregated. Would definitely go back.

It's been known as the top course in the area, and the cost reflects that. Anyone who has read my golf course reviews knows I like a good round for a nice price. On Monday we found a very nice deal for today, so out we went! To start, the place is gorgeous. The clubhouse is exquisite, as one would expect it to be. The grounds are immaculate. It's a great feeling to get into an electric golf cart with GPS built in. We headed over to the driving range to knock out a few balls before hitting the first tee. Nice Taylor Made range balls - livin' the high life today! The course itself is amazing. It's not your standard course where fairways run along each other making you feel boxed in by all the golfers. This course is a stroll through the rolling hills and woods of Verona, WI. While the course was busy, we only really noticed the group behind us. No big worries about slicing one into a crowd (because there's woods there...). The holes are challenging and not your "cookie cutter" holes from more basic courses. Interesting turns, strategically placed bunkers, and some water here and there make you think about your next shot. Same with some tee shots - do I go over those trees? Do I lay up because the fairway ends at 250? Do I drive the green and cut over that woods? Oh, to have some shots back... To summarize so far - we have a top-notch course, immaculate grounds-keeping, and a creative layout. What a place. Keeping that in mind, this is NOT a place for hackers to visit and work out the kinks. The course wants you to play to pace (2:15 per nine holes). If you start falling behind pace (they track you via GPS), they will come tell you to pick it up. If your shots are all over the place, you're best suited for a different course that is more forgiving. If you duff a lot, you will likely draw the ire of the members behind you waiting to play. Thankfully, we were ahead of pace and having a nice morning! It was an exquisite treat for me. Will I pay rack rate to shoot here? Probably not, unless it's a special occasion or I win the lottery. Will I keep an eye out for some hot rates online? You betcha! I loved playing this course and look forward to hitting it again.

Ah, how I wish I was wealthy and could retire early. This would be heaven. F'real…read more A good friend won a foursome in a silent auction and treated us to a round at Hawk's Landing. 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.

The other evening while we were there golfing, I believe I observed a manager, his name was Ray or Ryan in front of customers smoking what looked to be some kind of weed or vape device. As a parent, I really do not think customers and families should have to be around that or smell that while trying to enjoy a family outing. I understand everyone has their own personal lives, but I just do not feel that behavior is appropriate while working and around customers, especially children. It honestly made me second guess whether I feel comfortable bringing my kids back if that is something that is allowed there now. I just wanted to make management aware of the situation because, like I said, we have always loved coming to Vitense and I would hate for that to change.

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.

Our reception was inside the barn we ate comfortably and heard bride and groom stories, prayer, a charge from the father of the bride. Dinner was catered by Thunder Bay Grill. The wedding party DJ played nice taped music during the dinner. Dessert was a cheesecake. At the end of the reception we launched balloons with lights in them sending off in the air on a new adventure, just like the bride and groom. A beautiful night. I highly recommend this facility.
