About
Bridges Golf Course is a municipal, 18-hole course that sits on the northeastern side of Madison, just south of the airport. It’s popular with locals since it’s both affordable and challenging. The layout starts out on low-lying wetlands and then on the back nine it climbs up a ridge along Anderson Avenue. For a championship golf course it’s not particularly long at 6,900 yards from the back tees, but golfers will still face several tricky holes. Players of all skill levels will enjoy Bridges Golf Course for its variety of risk-reward opportunities. It’s not terribly punishing though so beginners can approach it with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Bridges offers a practice facility that includes a driving range and two separate practice greens for chipping and putting.

Good value on golf now
I feel this course is over priced, however we got a great deal with golf now ,, $33.00 each for 18 and cart. Course was in better shape than years past. Bunkers are not maintained at all, just hard sand and weeds. We finished our round in 3 hours, 2 players would definitely go back at this price. However would not pay normal green fees for this course.
.
Staff was super friendly, so that's a bonus!
Bridges Madison
Excellent course for the money, nice conditions with some short par 4s and challenging par 5s
Great day
Really enjoy this course, great value and the F35 jet fighters from the airport are an added attraction!
Fantastic shape
First time I played it this year but I will be back gorgeous and great shape I like the layout.
Slow day on the course
Course was in good condition. Tee Times are a little to close so the pace of play was slow, 5:30 to play 18.
Pace of play SLOW
Beautiful Sunday for golf, was paired up w a group of 2. Literally waited at every tee box besides #1 for at least 10 minutes. Otherwise a good day, course conditions were better then average. Every green that looked fast was slow & vice versa. Only thing I would change would be spacing tee times out a little more
Early spring conditions
Not bad for Wisconsin early spring conditions, but the cart paths need a lot of work, very bumpy felt like I was 4 wheeling.
Spring shape
The course was in early spring shape I would call it. It was pretty wet and the cart path's need a lot of work, It felt like we were off roading it.
Decent golf
Very challenging and wet right now. Being extra balls
Nice course, had fun
Very nice greens…..locals need to do a better job of repairing ball marks ! Wish the restaurant was open…….manager apparently called in sick.
Golf Etiquette
It's absolutely amazing how many people do not understand simple golf etiquette. This particular course seems to have more issues than any other in the area. Singled are allowed to book tee times, and are often sent out behind threesomes or foursomes. I don't know how many times I have been denied (too often to mention) when I have politely asked if I could play through. The pro shop needs to remind the threesomes and foursomes that they should always allow singles to play through.
Been A While - Not Like It Used To Be
I'm glad this was a GolfNow "Hot Deal" as I wouldn't have wanted to pay full rate for this one ... and I don't have to go back. I guess it was a nice morning in October, my home course was punching greens and I played in 2 hours and 40 minutes and that coulda been faster but I pulled the reins a little.
I'll give the greens a thumbs up for being smooth and blemish free but they were pretty slow and fuzzy.
I'll give the fairways a thumbs sideways for being very spotty with a ton of dead patches. I will say though when you landed on grass ithe ball sat up on top. Too bad there was so many spots to deal with.
Bunkers and rough were a BIG thumbs down! We haven't had rain here in a good stretch but many of the bunkers were soaked from watering the surrounding areas and unkept. To the point that a couple I noticed actually had grass tufts growing in them. Not on purpose like in South Carolina or Florida but just grass growing in them from lack of maintenance. Many areas off the rough were marked as GUR and roped off.
