Hawks Landing Golf Club

Hawks Landing Golf Club sits in Verona, a growing suburb southwest of Madison, Wisconsin. Designed by John Harbottle and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region's glacial topography, with fairways that move through a mix of open meadow and wooded corridors. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, offering golfers varied lies and strategic decisions throughout the round. Harbottle, a Wisconsin-based architect with several courses in the upper Midwest, designed Hawks Landing as a daily-fee facility intended to serve the Madison area's public golf market. The layout incorporates water features on several holes and uses native grasses and naturalized areas to frame playing corridors and define hazards. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while presenting enough length and challenge from the back tees to test accomplished players. The course operates as part of Verona's municipal golf offerings and has become a regular venue for local and regional amateur events. Its location near the intersection of major highways makes it accessible to golfers from Madison and surrounding communities. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with standard amenities typical of contemporary public golf operations in the region.
