We had a great experience celebrating our son’s birthday at X-Golf Madison East today. The private room was perfect for our group to have fun swinging clubs, throwing bags, and enjoying yummy drinks, appetizers and pizza. The staff delivered great service and everyone enjoyed the NEW chicken wings! Highly recommend you checking out what X-Golf has to offer if you are looking to host a friends and family gathering.

Another great day at X-Golf in Middleton. Simulators are a great experience and tons of fun. Staff are great to interact with and there to assist in making your visit a terrific experience.

My husband & I love golf and used to go to another simulator in Down town Madison weekly during the cold seasons. That place closed down & we found x golf which is closer to our home. We now come here every Thursday. The sensors are accurate, the staff is great and the establishment is clean, there’s plenty of courses to choose from and lots of challenges. Zach the manager & Eric the team member are respectful, professional & accommodating to all of our needs, two of our favorites though all staff are equally as nice. I’d rate them 10 stars if I could!
Greg Bardosy
Great place to bring friends of all skill level.

Great beer but the mixer was awful due to West Madisons horrible horrible water. Not their fault at all. They gave us a quick lesson and we were off and running with zero issues though our 18. Will be back in the future

Simulators are great. Leagues are ran poorly. Well it is great if you are a sand bagger and set yourself up for success. Favors poor golfers. Very frustrating.
