Golf in Stoughton

Stoughton is a city in Dane County, set along the Yahara River southeast of Madison. Known for its strong Norwegian heritage, celebrated each spring at its Syttende Mai festival, and for claiming to be the birthplace of the coffee break, the city blends a historic downtown with its setting in the lake country between Madison and Lake Kegonsa. Stoughton sits in the river-valley and farm country at the edge of the capital's suburbs, in country that blends dairy farms with the Yahara chain of lakes. Golfers in the area find recreational and club courses set among the farmland and river country. With Madison to the northwest and the lakes of southeastern Dane County nearby, Stoughton offers a base for golf in south-central Wisconsin, in the Norwegian-heritage country southeast of the capital, where the Yahara River, the lakes, and the Scandinavian roots define the character of the area.
