The Bridges Golf Club
About
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.

Bridges Golf Club
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 are better
The greens are better. Everything of the course is played out well and good to play.
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.
Great Golf Course
Course is in great shape. Pace of play is great, we played in 3:45. Would highly recommend
How much time you got
We had a “3:15” tee time, we pulled up at 2:50 to there being no carts ready and about 4 groups ahead of us waiting for there carts. After an hour of that charade we teed off at about 3:50. We waited on every tee box, at one point there where 4 groups on Hole #3, absolute circus. Course was not the problem, the pace of play ruined any ability to enjoy the golf. Lastly, they gave us a a raincheck for 9 holes, after finishing the front 9 in 3 hours. However that does us no good as we are from out of state and apparently they don’t tell there front desk workers how to give refunds. So that was that, proceed with caution.
The Bridges
The day was windy and cool , but the course was in good condition. The play was fun and everyone we met was great.
Challenging and fun
The layout is great! Very scenic and challenging holes. The course is in very good shape even with some construction taking place around it. Will definitely be going back.
Playing Nice!
Course is playing great. Some greens are patching but healing nicely. Rough is growing up! Thanks to those who lost a bunch of Pro V1 and V1x's! Just know a payed it forward too! Happy Hunting
