In 1997 the club moved into their current facility in William McFarland Park in McFarland.[http://madisoncurlingclub.com/about-us/history/ History of Madison Curling Club][https://www.facebook.com/pages/Madison-Curling-Club/116419288379401?sk=info MCC Facebook Page] The MCC has had at least one member curl for Team USA in every Winter Olympics since curling was instated as a full Olympic sport in 1998.

Through the curling season Madison Curling Club members participate in leagues including men's, women's, open (any combination of gender), doubles, and instructional. MCC members are assigned a 1- to 20-point value based on their experience and skill. Many leagues have a point cap not to be exceeded by each team.[http://badgerherald.com/news/2014/02/27/curling-club/#.VD_PXPldWHg Badger Herald Article]
