Course Overview
Pleasant View Golf Course in Middleton, Wisconsin, offers an inviting blend of playability and variety across its expansive 27-hole layout, including an additional par-3 nine. This public facility welcomes golfers of all levels with a course design that thoughtfully balances challenge and accessibility. The setting unfolds with gently rolling terrain that merges open prairie landscapes and pockets of mature trees, providing both visual appeal and strategic complexity.
The Prairie and Lake nines feature holes that reward thoughtful shot placement, with recent renovations enhancing their character. Water hazards and well-positioned bunkers demand respect, while the updated greens—some remodeled into punch bowl shapes—offer subtle breaks that test putting touch without overwhelming. For players seeking a shorter game option, the par-3 nine delivers crisp, enjoyable holes that are ideal for honing skills or fitting in a quick round.
Maintenance at Pleasant View consistently draws praise, reflecting management's attention to course conditions that keep fairways lush and greens true. The terrain gently rises and falls, encouraging a rhythm to the round without punishing uneven lies, making it feel welcoming rather than forbidding. Its design philosophy is clear: challenge the better player, but invite those still developing their game to find reward in every hole.
The clubhouse provides a friendly hub with a grill serving straightforward fare, allowing visitors to refresh and recoup in a comfortable atmosphere. Staff members are known for their attentiveness and accommodating spirit, which enhances the overall experience.
Golfers planning a visit should note that ongoing improvements continue to refine several holes, particularly on the Prairie and Lake courses. Walking is encouraged, with paths well maintained and shoes that offer good traction recommended due to varied terrain and occasional soft conditions. Pleasant View’s combination of thoughtful course design, welcoming service, and accessible layout positions it as a standout public venue in the Central Wisconsin region.
Course Highlights
The course offers a compelling mix of prairie and lakeside holes, complemented by recent upgrades to greens that add subtle putting challenges. Signature holes include reimagined par-3s with punch bowl greens and a standout par-5 that tests distance control with water guarding the approach. The layout’s diversity ensures every round feels fresh, while the clubhouse’s relaxed atmosphere provides a welcoming end to your day on the course.

This is an updated review. The Lake 9 is so awesome now with the new changes. #2 is now a monster hole and so much better built. #3 new bunker means you cannot be right. #5 pond redo with stones is gorgeous. #6 view off the tee is now open and bunkers frame hole better. #8 new green is a punch bowl and pin placements will make it fun. Also the new green on Prairie #8 looks well thought out being left of the hill. Now let's get a second practice putting green on the ledge between range and Clubhouse and make it huge, touch the 3 par 5's on the Prairie course with refinement and review #4,5,6,7 holes on the Woods and what can be done to improve. Great job!

I have been regularly playing PVGC since 2022 and this course for me ranks top in terms of quality golf for the price you pay. Every hole feels unique and provides their own challenges. The design of the course is well-done and there are only 1 or 2 holes that I can think of that are poor in design philosophy. The rest are picturesque and memorable. If you have not played here since the renovations, do check it out as updates on Praire 8 and Lake 6 have breathed some fresh designs into this course.
John O'Grady
Beautiful course that also provided a fun and challenging round. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The course itself was well maintained with great views (note: a few holes are currently being reworked. One temporary green when I was there). The management of the course was evident in the condition of the fairways and greens and some holes (as mentioned) are being redesigned and look promising. I highly recommend this course.

Beautiful course that's very popular. 27 holes plus a par 3 nine hole course. The scenery is sometimes out of a golf simulator it's so perfect. Fun holes that challenge you and are interesting. Nice little grill in the clubhouse with solid food. You really can't go wrong here.
