| - This is a serviceable course in the middle of Madison. You're right by the airport, so you'll see all sorts of interesting things - low flying planes taking off or landing, apache helicopters doing their thing, and jet fighters doing their routes. While that's not golfing, it's pretty interesting to check out during your "good walk gone bad".
The course itself is nice. None of the holes stand out as memory-makers, but there's some character along the way and some decisions to be made. There's some water on the course, but only really a threat on a couple holes (#1 and #9, notably). The rest appears to be for show - like behind the green or to the side of the green. Most folks aren't going to put one in the drink there, but I'm sure it happens.
As a west-sider, I'm not fond of the drive to a course that is so close to me. Getting through or around Madison and the lakes isn't always easy, so timing is key. Plan your tee times accordingly, especially if you're golfing during the week. Getting in or out around rush hour will take longer.
The Bridges will run specials, so check those out before you head out. A round can be had, especially in the spring or fall, for around $25. It's not a great walking course - the distance between one green and the next tee box can be quite a hike. If you don't mind the extra walking, save money and skip the cart. The course is pretty flat and you won't get wiped out by hills. It will take longer to walk, but on a quiet day that can be pretty nice.
