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 city course

I like that the fairways are usually not too close together so when I rip a fat slice, it just safely goes into the woods

Golf in February

The course was in February conditions, what do you expect. Overall if I’m golfing in February I’m happy no matter what. Becky checked me in and was super friendly and accommodating.

Bridges GC review

Average length course near Madison airport. Nice layout, a little noisy due to air traffic.

Will play again.

Bartender

Bartender was the best! She provided beverages swiftly when starting the round. She provided lunch and was enthusiastic.

I’ve played this course many times. It was in the roughest shape I’ve ever seen it. I had been very dry, but….

Nice course great value!

Course was in great shape. With golfnow hot deal it was a great value. I especially liked that there were no restrictions on where carts could go on fairways. I'd definitely play it again.

Challenging Course

Bridges is a very challenging course due to the hazards on both sides of every hole. Greens are in excellent shape. Staff was very friendly and happy!
