12. In 2025, we are celebrating our 70th anniversary. During the past year, we added a bar and restaurant which has added a significant amount of sales and profit:

Babes at Vitense Grill & Bar is now at Vitense Golfland after a 5 year absence from Madison.

The former Babes Grill & Bar across Schroeder Road closed in 2019. Lynn Haker, the owner of the former Babes Grill & Bar, has been actively involved in the creation of our new Babes at Vitense Grill & Bar and is leading the operation as the Director of Food & Beverage. The addition of Babes at Vitense combines the success of a 35-year local grill and bar business with the nearly 70-year-old family recreation destination of Vitense Golfland founded in 1955 by George Vitense, the Madison golf professional legend.

The 2,000-square-foot grill & bar features casual American food, a full-service bar and an outdoor patio. Many of the popular items from the original Babes are on the current menu; of course, including the guest favorite “Babes Nachos”. The space of the new bar includes a large long bar, bar top seating and comfortable table seating. The restaurant area includes a large mural on the north wall featuring captivating pictures and descriptions of the decades of progression of the Vitense 70 year landmark.

SPECIAL PROGRAMMING:
We offer hundreds of donations every year for free activities to support a wide variety of organizations.

We offer discounts for veterans and organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club.
