In summary

Pleasant View Golf Club is highly praised for its well-maintained course, diverse 27-hole layout, and friendly, accommodating staff. The recent improvements to various holes and the scenic setting enhance the golfing experience, making it a popular choice in the Madison area. While the course is generally well-regarded, some visitors have noted issues with grounds crew activities during play and occasional construction disruptions.

Great public track, 27 holes offering variety in the 18s you play, also a 9-hole par three. Excellent improvements over the last couple years on their water features, bunkers and greens. Well maintained, greens running true on most weekends. Back tees make it a great challenge. The staff is super friendly, food and beverage is all you need. Rates are reasonable. Fun place for outings.

This is an updated review. The Lake 9 is so awesome now with the new changes. #2 is now a monster hole and so much better built. #3 new bunker means you cannot be right. #5 pond redo with stones is gorgeous. #6 view off the tee is now open and bunkers frame hole better. #8 new green is a punch bowl and pin placements will make it fun. Also the new green on Prairie #8 looks well thought out being left of the hill. Now let's get a second practice putting green on the ledge between range and Clubhouse and make it huge, touch the 3 par 5's on the Prairie course with refinement and review #4,5,6,7…

Beautiful course that also provided a fun and challenging round. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The course itself was well maintained with great views (note: a few holes are currently being reworked. One temporary green when I was there). The management of the course was evident in the condition of the fairways and greens and some holes (as mentioned) are being redesigned and look promising. I highly recommend this course.

I’m so impressed with Pleasant View Golf Club! From the friendly staff to the top-notch maintenance, everything is run like a well-oiled machine. Sure, it gets a lot of play, but it’s the amazing conditions and the exceptional service that make it so special. The Madison metro area has plenty of great golf courses, but Pleasant View stands out with its multiple nines, large range, and the Par 3 all in one. The Par 3 is a great place to take my grandson (7) to introduce him to the game, or as a quick evening nine on a summer night. After nearly twenty years as a member at a private club in a…

Beautiful course that's very popular. 27 holes plus a par 3 nine hole course. The scenery is sometimes out of a golf simulator it's so perfect. Fun holes that challenge you and are interesting. Nice little grill in the clubhouse with solid food. You really can't go wrong here.

I can’t recommend Pleasant View enough! Jeremy and his team accommodated our group of 8 from start to finish. Lindsay and the food/bev staff took great care of us on the course. Fun course, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Out of all the municipal courses in the area this one is by far the best maintained. I would say if you’re walking it’s the best value course in Dane County. The course updates have been phenomenal and I hope they continue to invest in course improvements. The only things left to be desired are the food and bar. Turnover seems to be an issue in the kitchen as food quality is mediocre at best and the bar closes down regularly with many willing patrons still present. If PV gave some focus to the non golf experience it would easily be the best place to grab food and drink outside in the area.…

We loved this place!!! Was running late due to traffic and they were some of the nicest, most understanding people I’ve ever dealt with. Pure Midwest hospitality and kindness. The layout of the course was fun and in fantastic condition. We picked this place last minute for our annual golf trip and it’s on the list now. Thank you guys!! Shot out to the goat!🐐 P.S. Avi shot an 87 with a birdie!

Nice public course. In fact one of the best ones one Madison area. The burgers also are delicious. Highly recommend to try it out.

I have been regularly playing PVGC since 2022 and this course for me ranks top in terms of quality golf for the price you pay. Every hole feels unique and provides their own challenges. The design of the course is well-done and there are only 1 or 2 holes that I can think of that are poor in design philosophy. The rest are picturesque and memorable. If you have not played here since the renovations, do check it out as updates on Praire 8 and Lake 6 have breathed some fresh designs into this course.

The course was in decent shape and the redesign of some holes are a great improvement. HOWEVER, for a course that now charges premium rates, grounds crews should not be out mowing, blowing and zipping around for 8 out of the 9 holes payed. Either send the crews out an hour earlier, delay tee times or take a moment to actually think! Send crews out on the 1st holes of each 9, rather than prep the 9s sequentially. After a few holes, the constant drone of carts, blowers and mowers ruins the experience completely.

First time golfing 9 holes here and had a wonderful time. I felt welcomed by Kathy when checking in for my tee time, friendly staff and nice course. Looking forward to bringing family from out of town to experience Pleasant View!
