The Bridges Golf Club

This course is very nice. I enjoy every time I play. This time was cut short due to a group playing a bit slow and holding up 5-6 groups behind them. I will be back soon to play another round.

The open landscapes and clear blue skies doesn’t fell like North Texas. Great outside services and pro shop staff.

The Bridges never really disappoints. The course is normally in very playable condition. Greens role true and can be a bit speedy. I really like this course. It’s very scoreable from whites/blues, but can be extremely tough from gold/tips, especially on windy days, which is most of the times since it’s out in a pasture-like environment.

I echo many others who have written reviews on this course. It's in immaculate condition, the greens were fast and in perfect condition. All staff are friendly. It's the best value for money I have experienced, so take the extra time to drive there - you won't regret it!

I've played this course twice. Both times, they wouldn't open their driving range. In this latest episode, the staff at the pro shop said that it was because the contractor maintenance crew had not yet shown up to do their work. Note that there was no rain or other weather related reason, just that "they hadn't come yet and we don't know if they will."

The grass looked mown. There were other maintenance crew working. I'm at a loss to understand why they can't hand our range balls. The fact that it happened both times, over a year apart tells me this is a very poorly managed golf course.

On the day we were there, they had a kids summer camp underway. They took over the entire putting green and we were told to putt on the chipping green, so there was a throng of golfers all over the chipping green.

As it came closer to our tee time, I noticed the summer camp had moved over to the driving range and you guess it, they were hitting balls. So the putting green and the driving range were made available to the summer camp (about a dozen kids) but not to the patrons who pay for (and expect) these facilities.

The course itself is in good shape but beware that there are very few trees around this course and so its totally exposed to the Texas wind.

Its also worth noting that the rough was often only six or eight feet and then they just didn't mow the prairie grass beyond that and you often could not find your golf ball in it. So my buddy who hit wayward shots out into that stuff lost 8 golf balls over the course of the day.

The pace of play was also very slow, having to wait to tee off on every hole, even though all the groups ahead of us were in carts. We saw no marshalls all day.

I'm never going back and I doubt he will either. Skip this course. There are much better experiences in the area.

Course is in great shape! Im never disappointed playing here.

Plus, we had a foursome behind us that complained about how slow we were off the first tee. For the rest of the round, they were always one of two holes behind us. But we got backed up on 18, and they drove their second shots and their approach shots into us.I was standing on the green and one of my buddies yelled, "Watch out!" A ball hit the green and rolled harmlessly past me.

When it stopped and out of courtesy, I putted his ball for him, but missed the hole. Ooops! Penalty! The ball somehow found its way into the pond.

We did not report them to the clubhouse, but you know who you are, so please be more respectful.

Most expensive drink prices you will find this side of a private club.

The course was in decent shape. The issue is the range is closed for weeks and they don’t tell you this ahead of time. You also have to be aware that they allow 5somes during weekdays and don’t care how slow they are playing. I know this because I called the clubhouse on the back 9 and they didn’t care. I don’t need to drive 50 minutes to play this slow and not get to warm up on the range. I don’t plan on returning.

Teed off at 11 am on a Tuesday. Over 5 hour 40 minute round, there was a junior tourney playing so we were patient but the organizers of the event were fine with twosomes playing 20 minutes per hole. It became unpleasant because the groups behind us were all jammed as well, we had two foursomes waiting on each tee box, it sucks playing with groups right on top of you.

Course is great and in good condition maybe I’ll try playing again, the two guys we got paired with play regularly there and also complained that it’s generally slow play and 5 hour rounds are the norm.

The course was in good shape but the range was closed and the website or clubhouse didn’t communicate this. Also apparently 5somes are allowed on weekdays regardless of how slow they are playing. I called the clubhouse and they didn’t care how slow they were playing. I would have given a higher rating but not informing people of the range being closed and not caring about the pace of play doesn’t deserve more stars.

Got stuck behind a tournament, the marshalls were not present at all. Even after the tournament, the pace never changed. Started 40 minutes late. Took 6 hours for the round in the Texas heat. Clubhouse staff were nice, but the Marshall basically came out once on hole 2 and said "yeah, its tough, oh well" and drove away. Will not be returning as I don't want to drive 40 minutes each way for a total of 8 hours from leaving my house to returning after the round.
