My Husband and I got married here after previously not being aware of the Country Club when living in Madison. We feel so lucky to have found such a beautiful venue with truly the most amazing staff. All of our guests had a blast and commented on how stunning the venue was. We had the perfect day largely due to the INCREDIBLE help of the staff, particularly Orrin- LIFE SAVER and Meredith who made everything run so smooth day of. Cannot recommend them enough!!!

I had a horrible experience tonight at this country club. If you want to join this club, please do your due diligence. The young staff is questionable with their interactions. I found they have zero integrity. I never expected to be bullied and harassed at a country club in Madison. I will pursue a defamation of character lawsuit. Please go and see for yourself before you join!

This is a beautiful old school country club that has updated everything. Great new bar and dining room seating (they did keep the fireplace!). beautiful new HUGE patio/deck overlook the golf course and the lake. The menu has been updated to cater to the taste of the newer generation that is enjoying the Club Life. WELL DONE BLACKHAWK!!!!

Staff was very attentive to our special needs (husband is in a wheelchair) All the stations set up with food (both hot and cold) were well maintained for food safety, plates etc. We will keep this location in mind if we need a space to gather. Just beautiful!

We are so happy we decided to have our wedding reception at Blackhawk! We were married on June 9, 2018. We loved working with Bailey and her staff. It was easy to communicate with them and share our ideas and visions. The food is absolutely outstanding! We received so many compliments on the quality, and quantity, of our food. Our guests especially loved the cupcakes! The view from Blackhawk is phenomenal; Lake Mendota provides a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding reception. If you are even thinking about having your wedding and/or reception at Blackhawk I highly recommend you at least take a tou…

The only golf course right on the lake in downtown Madison. Nestled in the small village of Shorewood Hills, the club sits between University avenue and lake Mendota. In the winter months, local kids used the hills for sledding. The club house can be rented for events of all kinds.
