If you\'re into elevation gain while playing, this course is for you. Tee boxes were AstroTurf and in pretty good condition. Hole maps were accurate and signage for the next hole is good as well. Baskets were in great condition.

If you\'re not into elevation gain, this course is not for you.

Holes 10 and 11 have no fairway at all. FYI

The significant changes in elevation add a lot of variety and fun to a course that would otherwise be pretty straightforward. It also is a great opportunity for practicing these shots that other courses in the Madison area are limited in.

I encountered many fewer bugs than expected relative to Madison courses I've been playing.

Beautiful views of the local area including blue mounds.

A good challenge, but not too difficult for decent beginners. I've been playing for around a year and mostly made par with only one birdie and a few bogeys.

A couple wooded holes, while very charming, don't really have a green or landing zone. I looked for my disc for a couple of minutes even though it landed next to the basket. It had rolled a few feet away. I imagine discs beating these spots down will eventually make this better.

Beginning players may lose discs on a couple of holes. My five-year old son has played almost daily this spring and doesn't want to skip a hole; however, I was afraid we might say bye-bye to his discs on a couple of downhill shots.

Beware wild parsnip and poison ivy.

Great exercise! On the flip side, anyone planning to play here should be aware that you will climb up and down ski slopes multiple times. I was much more tired after playing this than the full 27 holes at Token creek.

course designers--please add an 800+ foot downhill, wide open shot somewhere. There were so many times when I just wanted to watch a disc cruise down the slope forever.

For a new course just this summer I felt the course was in good shape. Yes it's hilly, the rough can be rough, but I felt it was fair. The views were spectacular. I'm 65 years old and in pretty good shape and had no problem playing this course, although I was pooped when done with 18 holes. Good variety of holes and shots required. Staff met us upon completion of our round and was very friendly, had some thoughts for future improvements to the course which sounded great. Pay for play for $5 is very fair. Signage is just a stick with a picture but is adequate for now. I'm sure improvements will be coming. Arrows pointing to the next tee were very helpful. Had no problem navigating the course.

It is hilly but that's what also makes it a challenging course. The rough can be bad in spots, but what's a course without some tough rough. A good shot puts you in the fairway. Not cart friendly in my opinion unless your cart is lighter than mine. I carried a small bag with 10 discs which was fine.

I see this course getting better and better and a must play course in the area. The two reviews rating this course a 1 is a joke in my opinion.

This course is incredible and unlike anything else within reasonable driving distance.

+ The biggest pro is hands down the incredible land they have to work with. Given that Tyrol Basin is a ski and snowboard area in the winter, the elevation changes are hands down the biggest obstacle. Trees certainly come in to play, too, but my golly the elevation changes make this course such a blast to play. You'll have 350 holes you can reach by softly throwing a putter (#9) and 350 foot holes that I don't even think the pros could reach (#16) just because of the substantial elevation changes provided by the slopes.

+ So many "signature" holes. Almost every hole here is remarkably memorable. On the ride home, my brother and I both had a hard time choosing our favorite hole because there are so many good choices.

+ The views from the top of the course, such as 9 and 17's tees, are worth taking a moment to enjoy. They make the hike worth it!

+ So much potential! With another set of tees (shorter) and alternative pin placement, this course could very well sneak into 4.5, potentially even 5.0 land. Apparently this is in the plan for summer 2020. I love that there's room for so much more. This could become a serious destination course. I'll have to come back and adjust this review when that time comes!

+ Everyone that we encountered during our rounds were very friendly and accommodating.

+ The equipment is great. The turf tees work very well and the baskets are great. I do wish that the signs were a little bit better (more illustrated and not just on a stick in the ground), but maybe that's asking too much.

+ Professional caliber. This course is definitely geared towards higher skill level players. The birdies do not come easy here.

- As several reviewers in the past have mentioned, the course could use a bit of a redesign in certain areas. The walks between some holes (9-10, for example) are quite long. After thinking about it, I think there should be a slide from 9's basket to 10's tee. That'd be incredible.

- Yes, the rough is brutal. It's true. But for an advanced level player, hitting the fairways should absolutely not be an issue. It seems like the staff here really makes an effort to keep the fairways mowed. We had no issues here.

- This course will exhaust you. I'm in great shape (I try to run 3-5 miles a day) and I was dead after two rounds (which apparently hasn't been done before). Even just one round will certainly wipe you out if you're in average shape. Don't plan to do any physical labor after your round here! The hikes are tough.

- The restaurant doesn't open until 4 pm (only open Thursday and Friday).

- I could see the frustration from low-level players. You'll need some accurate distance (300 ft+ drives on flat land) if you're wanting to shoot under par.

- WARNING on #9. Do NOT hyzer out to the left! Your disc will be gone. It's very easy to do on your first throw here if you've never thrown down this steeply before.

I'm baffled by the two 1.0 ratings. To me, they're entirely unmerited and to say that it's the worst course in the area is obscene. This course absolutely devastates Capital Springs when it comes to fun factor (in my humble opinion). Capitol Springs is in a prairie (little elevation, little trees). This place is on a wooded ski resort. It's no contest in my eyes. Is it perfect yet? No, of course not. It's only been around for 3 weeks. Is it the beginning of something incredible? Absolutely!

Paying $5 per day per person is an incredible value, though chances are you'll only get in one round before throwing in the towel. You'll be exhausted, but you'll be smiling after your round here.

1) Beautiful property on the ski hill, which offers a variety of shots, beautiful views, and unique terrain.

2) Solid layout with hole 1 and 10 starting near chalet.

3) Scorecard with map is available by pay station ($5).

4)Amenities available on-site (we were able to use the bathrooms when there, but unsure if they will always be available)

5)Teepads (turf). Although I do not often play on turf teepads, these ones definitely provided excellent grip.

6) Shot variety offered both uphill and downhill shots, a variety of distances, and utilized different shot selections.

7) Had a few wooded holes with tighter lines in the middle of the course.

8) Fairways were more than fair (typically utilizing part of ski routes) and the majority of the course had relatively short grass and was decently groomed. There were one or two parts that did had some longer grass.

9) One unique hole with a shot down a black diamond ski route. This may be the steepest incline I've thrown a disc off of. This was a cool hole, but one where if not paying attention you may be looking for a disc. Our group only ended up looking for some because we threw multiple off the top.

1) One hole in the middle of the round was less than 150ft. Seemed sort of like a throwaway hole, considering all the unused property.

2) This course was listed as a par 55. With all the property there, I would like to see a few more par 4s/par 5. Some longer downhill holes would have been nice as well. The back 9 played a lot shorter/easier than the front 9.

3) Signage could use some work, but this is a new course so I would expect that to come with time. We were able to find all the holes, but a couple longer walks had us questioning if we were headed in the wrong direction.

4) Not cart friendly. I did bring my cart for my first round there, but would not plan on bringing it again. Some holes it was fine, but on the steep uphill climbs, it was very difficult to have (although it did allow me to bring enough water).

5) Off the fairways can be thick, but the fairways are more than fair and really should only be looking for discs on very errant throws.

6) One green is near a barbed wire fence. You can not see basket from teepad and if you land short, you could potentially be on other side of this. We did not notice it until near the green. Possibly considering a relocation of this basket would be beneficial.

Challenging course. This seems to be a course designed for upper level players. Expect a challenge. I am an intermediate player, did not shoot well, and still enjoyed my round and the difficulty of the course.

The terrain was tiring to walk on so bring lots of water and a good pair of shoes. You go up and down the hill on several occasions.

Talked to some guys working at facility who indicated there may be a second set of teepads in the future. This means the course will hopefully continue to get better with each time I play a round here (because I definitely plan on returning). There is a lot of potential with this property and I think they already have a great course with room to improve. Nice work!
