The course

Pleasant View Golf Course provides a complete golfing experience. Enjoy 27 holes of well-maintained, championship golf, a nine-hole scenic par 3 course and an outstanding practice range. The course was awarded Gold in Madison Magazine’s Best of Golf Courses for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 and Silver in 2021 and 2023.

The scenery

Mature trees and prairies line much of the course with native wildflowers framing some of the fairways.

The view

The golf course gets its name for a reason. Situated about 300 feet above Lake Mendota, higher points of the course offer views going on for miles, including the state capitol building in downtown Madison.

The patio

Relax with friends on a newly remodeled patio with two fire pits, just off the clubhouse. The patios feature comfortable gathering spaces and WiFi.

The Goat Hill Grill

The Goat Hill Grill is open for outdoor seating — weather permitting — and there is a full-service bar. The grill offers Wisconsin bar fare such as cheese curds, fried pickle spears, burgers, sandwiches, and more. The Grill also serves light breakfast options — like English muffins and bagels — and the heartier Hole-N-One breakfast, all before 11 a.m. See a menu here.
