The Fred Couples Signature course is the centerpiece of the Bridges at Preston Crossing. The golf course sprawls across rolling hills that most don't associate with north Texas. Mature trees dot the lush meadows, sliced with ribbons of tall native grasses. The parkland layout has a fair amount of challenges and it is especially tough on a windy day. There are subtle but tricky contours thanks to the undulating landscape and several strategically placed bunkers lurk throughout. Water is not too much of a threat on this golf course, except for the memorable finishing hole. This beastly par 5 lays measures 645 yards and wraps around a massive water hazard. The Bridges is a local favorite because not only is it a challenging round, it is also an affordable one.

Great course for the price

The tee boxes were mostly great, there were a couple stiff ones. The fairways were in great condition, the greens were in great shape. The cart girl came around a few times through out our play, we were behind a foursome so it took us about 4 and a half hours to finish the round, wish it was a little quicker. Overall it was a great course for the price and would definitely come back.

Review

Course was in decent shape. Expected better for the amount of rain we’ve had in the last month. Several greens had huge spots that were dead and filled with sand. Other than tha, the greens rolled great. Wish they had more of a first cut off the fairway because the rough in nearly impossible to find your ball and if you do find it your only option is to try and hack it out. Better be in the fairway.

There was a tournament finishing up ahead of us and played the round in 4:50 which was not ideal for a Wednesday afternoon.

Great Outing

As a single I was fortunate to be grouped with a great group of guys on Father's Day. Sometimes the golf gods just line everything up perfectly.

Boring layout with unfriendly golf staff and several greens in poor condition. Made the turn after waiting behind a twosome on every shot on the front nine only to discover the golf staff allowed a 3-some to cut in on 10.

Bridges in May

Course is in great shape. Greens were a bit slow. Layout is challenging and fun. 18 is one of my favorite finishing holes.

Not what it used to be

I’ve played The Bridges several times over the years and unfortunately the experience seems to get worse each visit. There’s major neighborhood construction throughout much of the back 9 right now, so you’re constantly dealing with dust, noise, workers, and construction traffic around the course.

The pace of play was also extremely slow. Paying $71 for a Tuesday morning round felt excessive, especially when range balls were another $13. We only saw the cart girl once the entire round that was on the 15th tee box.

The course layout is still solid, but overall it’s no longer worth the drive up to Gunter for the price and experience.

Mixed reviews

I enjoy the holes where you are off in the middle of the cow pastures. Very pretty! 18 is a tough finishing hole. It’s a relatively good value.

Only negative that really stood out to me was grumpy members! I encountered a couple of grumpy foursomes (and one fivesome) and I usu never notice such things but they really stood out.

Greens

The greens are like putting on the beach. Sanded and no grass. Plus the greens had a weed-like growth throughout. Needs a lot of work.

Freddie Would Be Ashamed!

Sanded greens meant putting.or expecting approaches to react normally was useless. Construction interfered with getting from A to B and changed location of a few tees, significantly making the holes different.

Places that update their website with the current condition show that they respect their customers and I wish this place would do that. They don't even give scorecard details on their site.
