The Bridges is a fantastic, affordable, well-maintained public course in Madison. I've played many of the public courses in the area and this is by far my favorite "cheap" course. My husband and I walked 18 holes and it was $27 pp on a weekday. The greens were in great shape, the course challenging and nicely laid out, and the staff was friendly. The only annoyance is that it's close to the airport so you can hear planes land and take off, which can get quite loud. Definitely better than Odana or Yahara Hills if you're looking for a good place to swing the clubs on the cheap in Madison.
