Yahara Hills Update: Full 36 Holes Open for 2025 Season

Hello Golf Madison Parks Family,

I’m excited to share some great news about the upcoming golf season at Yahara Hills. As many of you know, half of the Yahara Hills property was sold to Dane County for the development of a Sustainability Campus. This transition means that Yahara Hills will eventually shift from a 36-hole facility to 18 holes at the end of the 2025 season.

Originally, we anticipated offering only 27 holes for the 2025 season. However, we are pleased to announce that all 36 holes at Yahara Hills will be open this season. This gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy all of their favorite holes on the East Course another season. Thanks to Dane County Department of Waste and Renewables for making this possible!

While play continues, Golf Madison Parks has a construction team actively working on renovations to the course. Work this year will focus primarily on the front nine of the West Course as we prepare for a newly renovated 18-hole course, set to debut at the start of the 2026 season. The reimagined layout will include expanded teeing options—providing longer distances for experienced golfers as well as new forward tees to enhance accessibility for all players. Native area restoration will also be a key part of the project, helping to improve the environmental value and aesthetics of the course.

Tee times for the full East Course will be available starting Friday, April 11. 

This is an exciting time for Yahara Hills and Golf Madison Parks. We’re grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing you on the course for another memorable season.

All the best,

Dave Vetrovec

Golf Director
