The Glen Golf Park

The Glenway Golf Course has a new look, and new name — check out The Glen Golf Park at its grand reopening, complete with a ribbon cutting, music from SpareTime Bluegrass at 3:30 p.m., and a screening of Encanto at 5 p.m. Yard games, a putting contest, kite flying and Carts in Parks will all celebrate the re-envisioned course. The nine-hole course opened for play on July 1, and is now playable for first-timers or veteran golfers. The course plans to offer fitness activities, a cultural exhibition from the Ho-Chunk Nation, a movie series, and more community events throughout the summer. Read more from Jason Joyce on the redesign here.

media release: The Glen Golf Park, known since 1927 as Glenway Golf Course was reimagined and renovated to create a unique mixed-use outdoor recreation golf park. Through the ongoing partnership with the Madison Parks Foundation , along with the shared vision and generous financial and in-kind contributions of many community members, the golf park offers a dynamic blend of programmed activities. The redesigned 9-hole golf course is suitable for first-timers and long-time golfers alike. The updated patio area is a fully accessible gathering space. The Glen House, formerly known as the clubhouse is currently under renovation to provide accessible restrooms and service window along with overall improved guest experiences and expanded merchandise options. A variety of community events and activities will be offered throughout the summer, including a movie series and a performing arts series sponsored by Madison Parks Foundation featuring a variety of local live musicians, in addition to a cultural exhibition by The Ho-Chunk Nation and introductory fitness activities.
