TOTAL SCORE out of 1000

There are some courses you just can't wait to tell others about. This is one such course. This 7330 yard Andy North design a half hour south of Madison gives you a view at the clubhouse you won't forget until you get Alzheimer's. And even then we expect you'll remember nothing other than that view every day. We laughed at the person who said something similar to us. "Just wait." He said. We did. We shouldn't have. We should've hurried down here then, much like we'll hurry back now. Mr. North has a knack for creating great golf designs out of phenomenal properties, much as he did at Trapper's Turn in Wisconsin Dells. The Legend, however, is very much an open links-style course, friendly enough for every golfer with some of the most amazing houses off the 10th-12th fairways. (No, you can't have that one on #10. That's our house. We commute daily from Rochester, MN.)

The excellent practice facilities get you primed for a remarkable round, played on well-manicured fairways, lined by tall prairie grasses cascading up and down a multitude of dramatic hillsides. So remarkable is this course it was recognized as one of the ten best new golf courses in America in 2006. Yes, it's that new. Yes, it's that incredible. So how does the public get to play this course? And for such a reasonable cost? Well, consider it yet another gift to golfers from the current economy. Take advantage of it if (and while) you still can. No doubt, regardless of your score, you'll enjoy holes 2, 7 and the Signature 9th on the front, as well as the 10th, 14th and incredible finishing trio.

From the rivers, streams and ponds scattered everywhere, to the twin semi-island greens, and the mile-long cascading waterfall descending from the clubhouse perched atop the "mountain"... it's hard to adequately describe the beauty and serenity of the experience. What you see on their website is what you see on the course. It's that breathtaking... and we felt that lucky to be there. The service was top notch, the food sufficient... the value great! Hopefully it will remain that way. This is truly a paradise for golfers of every level.

So, drop your kids and significant other off at Madison's great (Free) Henry Vilas Zoo and make like a mid-1800's pioneer... Blaze a trail to Oregon.
