Bridges Golf Course
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.

Ridiculous Attitude
The young woman working in the pro shop who checked me in, had the personality of a crow bar.
I like the course and will come back
Course was in pretty decent shape given this time of year and weather. Obviously the virus issues continue to affect amenities. They are also doing repairs to the 18th hole.. Greens were in nice cobdition.
Greens
I thought the greens were average at best. The pace of play was as brisk as the weather.
Nice, challenging course by the Airport
Course is nice and has lots of opportunities to make you think about ball placement. Lots of marsh and water to lose you golf balls in. Thanks Becky!
Did not let me cancel
I wanted to cancel, but was unable to. The service here is really poor.
Poor customer service
There was no friendly greeting: The only thank you I received was from the guy cleaning carts after the round. Pro shop attendant could have cared less if we were there or not. Cart girl had no personality.
It’s sad because the course is in pretty good shape. Priced fairly.
Great time
The course was beautiful grass was well cut and greens in good condition cart and beverage people were subpar on front nine back nine was great friendly person bar staff and clubhouse or five Out of ten.
Good Challenging course
Course was in good condition considering 3 days of rain, found it very challenging a great value.
Over-priced Average Course
This course can be surprisingly challenging with multiple creeks passing through 1/3 of the holes and two others with steep elevation changes. Other than that, the course feels far from interesting or exciting. Unless you plan on walking, don’t even think about going. They charge you nearly as much to ride in a cart as they do to play your round. In all honestly, I’d much rather play Madison’s city courses.
