Course Overview
The Meadows of Six Mile Creek in Waunakee, Wisconsin, offers an engaging 18-hole layout that challenges golfers with its blend of natural prairie terrain and water hazards. This public course weaves through a landscape marked by deep, grassy meadows and strategically placed wetlands, demanding thoughtful shot-making and course management. The design showcases the land's prairie roots, with fairways bordered by native grasses that sway with the breeze and protect the scoring zones. Water hazards appear on multiple holes, requiring precision off the tee and on approach shots, making it a fitting test for players seeking both strategic depth and scenic variety.
For those planning a round, the course conditions generally reflect careful maintenance efforts, especially after difficult weather. Greens and fairways have been praised for their smoothness and playability, even in seasons marked by heavy rain, though some elements like cart paths show signs of wear. Walkers can enjoy a day here, but the uneven cart paths suggest sturdy footwear is advisable for comfort.
Playability at The Meadows of Six Mile Creek suits a broad range of golfers. While hazards are plentiful, the diverse hole lengths accommodate varying skill levels. Longer holes test distance and control, whereas shorter par-3s provide scoring opportunities with a nod toward accuracy.

Amenities include a well-regarded clubhouse bar noted for its welcoming atmosphere and locally inspired drinks.
Pace of play can fluctuate, especially on busier days, so booking tee times with extra time in mind is wise.

This is a lovely, challenging course. The entire course is littered with hazards (quite a bit of water & a ton of prairie areas). Prepare ahead of time & bring more balls than you think you’ll need. While we’ve had a ton of rain this season, every single green & tee box was in excellent condition. All fairways in great shape, too. The cart path was quite rough and pretty much the entire thing is due for a total replacement. Plenty of portable toilets stationed along the course, but no “real” bathrooms apart from the clubhouse. Also quite a few water stations with disposable cups available for golfers. Pace of play was slower than I’d like - 5 hours for 18 - but not uncommon for a busy Sunday tee time. I paid $75.96 for 18 with a cart on a Sunday morning. The pro shop attendant (or golf pro?), a middle aged man, was such a gem. Lighthearted & funny. He was a delight. Overall I’d recommend this course and look forward to playing here again.

Decently maintained, but for the money, I would have expected better tee boxes, real sand, beautification and no invasive weeds in fairways. Nonetheless, we had a great time with the gentlemen we were paired with!

Great golf course well maintained. It is very beautiful when the sun is setting and it is a pretty challenging course.
David Adler
Decent course, but not worth the full price to play there. With Bucky Book 2 for 1 it is well worth it.

For everyone: Fairways and greens are ok. No cart service. Don't expect much and your expectations will be met. Don't hesitate to tell the ranger to mind his business and leave you alone. For course staff: Felt rushed all-day by a couple course staff. It started before we checked in and paid. While my credit card was still in my wallet the check-in clerk was already telling us we're late, its time to tee off. I checked my phone and replied our tee time is in 12 minutes. While thinking to myself...maybe check in guy doesn't want to be here now...he again insisted we were late. We tee'd off 5 minutes before our scheduled time. On #2 one of the golf carts stopped working. The course ranger came near, we told him 3 times there was a non-working cart before he believed us, a few minutes later that got resolved. After the cart switch the ranger checked on us 9 more times (7x front-9, 3x back-9) and that didn't end until after he followed us from the 17 tee box to watch all but our last 2 strokes of the day. We finished 18 holes in 3 hours 42 minutes and were back home in 4 hours 5 minutes wondering if we'll ever go back to Six Mile. On #14 (check-in #9, at 2 hours 50 minutes) course ranger dick tells us to pick up the pace, there are two open holes ahead of us with no one. My response, "we're well ahead of pace" which is code-speak for STOP FOLLOWING US, LEAVE US ALONE, AND GO AWAY BUDDY! When we step on the #17 tee box we had to wait for golfers in the fairway. For the owners: train or get rid of the no-and-low-performing staff. You're gonna need to find some cost savings to buy grass seed and tune up golf carts before this season is done. Most of what happened and is written above was reported to a different pro shop staff at around the 3 hours 50 minutes mark for our scheduled time. After finishing 17 we figured out why there was no cart service. The service cart was parked, doing nothing, selling nothing, and going nowhere at the intersection of holes 2, 6, 10, 11, and 17 while the girl working it was face down in her phone.

Nice course, a few long holes, a couple short holes, overall a solid course. Greens and fairways were in great condition given our crazy rain and flooding earlier in the year. Nice bar and a good spicy bloody mary.

Convenient and well kept. Holes are laid out a little wonky but the people there (working and playing) make it a great experience. No driving range is tough and the restaurant has limited options. But always enjoy a day on this course.
