Offering indoor and outdoor putt putt options, Vitense is a terrific place to have some golfing fun. They also have a driving range, simulator, full bar and restaurant... what is not to love. The staff is friendly and they try to keep the place in ship shape and operating smoothly.

I've came here a few times to drive balls and it's always been a fun time. However on my latest visit here Vitense turned the lights off while I was still golfing on the lit par 3 course. No warning or anyone checking to see if anyone was still on the course. 9pm. Supposed to close at 11pm per their hours. This is a law suit waiting to happen if the lights were turned off and someone got seriously hurt because they couldn't see. Please make sure the course is checked for players before turning the lights off.

A very adorable, long running mini golf and practice area for golf swings. The fam and I went and enjoyed the WI style mini golf course (there are two options). They have a range to practice golf swings, Two outdoor and one indoor mini golf course, food and drinks and a general seating area. The golf course is fun and very cute. Some of the homes had me a little worried as the wood is getting old but it's a fun time. If you have kids it's extra fun because each hole has a structure that they can play on. If you're in Madison it's a staple and I recommend going.

They were closed and the website said open. Drove an hour for nothing.

The venue was closed for a private event with no notice - drove 20 minutes across town.

Son and I had a great time. The service was adequate. No complaints. We even got some great ice cream on the way out. Family friendly.

I'd give it a 0 if I could. Don't understand how you operate a business and close an hour earlier than your closing time. Pure laziness from their employees.

customer service sucks, the bar code scan to order a drink never works i go up to order a drink and they tell me to use the scan code thing. every time i've been here the service has sucked and everyone is just chilling on their phones behind the bar down stairs

First time mini golfing here and it was a fun course. The guy working the desk wasn't much aside from taking our money. They probably get regulars often that know where everything is.

Lots to do! We chose the mini golf, but we will be back for more fun. They had batting cages, foot golf, mini golf, and MORE! The full service bar was great. Although we didn't get food, it looked and smelled good and you could see right into the kitchen while they were preparing.
Always a eventful place for my family! Great attraction

We came for the mini golf and stayed for drinks and an appetizer. A couple things to note, the drinks are delicious and strong! They'll even put a lid on your drink if you're like me and get too competitive on the mini golf course. we tried the smaller version of the pretzel/charcuterie board. We loved it! I love charcuterie and my fiancé loves pretzels, a big win. We also enjoyed their cheese curds!

Horrible experience. The staff is unbelievably rude. We showed up at 8:57 the bartender gave us the cold shoulder when we went to order drinks. We were there 2 minutes past close, on the last hole and one of the girls came in and said “you need to leave right now we are closed” never again will I give this place my business. The most unwelcoming staff I’ve ever seen in my life.

We went to vitense golfland over the weekend and absolutely loved the experience. The minigolf is so fun! Just try to go during hours where they are less busy, as it tends to get a bit crowded and clogged.

Although it is certainly showing in age in many areas, Vitense Golfland is still an awesome spot for all things golf, whether you are looking for mini golf fun with the family or honing your swing at the range. First, the mini golf is great. They have three courses (2 outdoor and 1 indoor) that are fun and challenging, with water hazards, slides and small climbs that keep it interesting for players of all ages. The price isn't outrageous but it isn't necessarily cheap either at $10/person. Also, the outdoor course does show signs of aging; I suppose the Wisconsin elements will do that over time. Second, the nine hole Par 3 course is quick play for beginners and skilled players alike. With holes ranging from about 90 yards to 160 yards, you can get practice over a variety of different clubs. It also doubles as a foot golf course if you are into that. The greens this past summer were OK to a little rough in some spots; they were definitely affected by the drought. Third, their seasonal golf leagues are good value as you get weekly 30 min of range time and you play the Par 3 course weekly for about $15/week, while also getting to meet other golfers from around the area. Finally, the range. It's the only place in the Madison that (1) has TopTracer, which uses cameras to track your golf shots (ball speed, carry and total distance, curve, etc.) and (2) has heated bays in the wintertime, allowing to practice year round (although about 15 degrees is my limit for cold). Basket prices are a little more than other ranges, but they offer specials from time to time that make it more economical too (i got Black Friday sale of 24 large baskets at $8/each). They also have a restaurant, ice cream, and other things like batting cages and indoor simulators, which I have yet to try. Overall, while some areas are aged and could use some renovations (the mini golf and greens), a good family owned business to visit to immerse yourself in the wonderful game of golf!
