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.

Must hit straight ish ie no severely left or right
13 hole is most challenging up the hill. I play around or two at here and courses in the area. Greens were slow yesterday but, usually faster and fair. 15 hole is my favorite at this course.
It's Early
Fairways and greens not ready for serious play yet. Early Spring weather has definitely been an issue. Grounds were wet so it was cart path only.
Grounds Crew Holding Up Play
Grounds Crew was on every hole in front of me. I ended up having to wait 10 minutes on the tee for every hole after hole 9. By 15, I chose to leave. I get that they have to do the work but they should’ve been courteous of tee times, either by getting out of the way or by scheduling their work more efficiently.
Beyond that - the course was in brutal condition. Good greens though.
Good cheap round
For $25 for 18 and a cart this was a great value. The greens were just airaited so they were a bit Sandy and bumpy. Otherwise it was over all in great shape.
Way overpriced
I play courses in Metro Chicago that are much more manicured than this one for the money. I think I paid $69? I was disappointed
