The Bridges Golf Club

This was our retry of this course after a less than favorable experience. Dan the course pro reached out after my last review and encouraged us to try again.

The starter was interactive and got us out a few minutes early since we were ready and no one was booked ahead of us. Pace was 4.5hrs this time and we saw multiple Marshalls on the course keeping things moving even though the 3-some ahead of us was over a hole behind by hole 9.

Course conditions were ideal, and no one was watering during our round as seen on so many other courses.

On-course amenities were great - water stations were full (not the case at most courses), and the cart staff (Gabbby?) was energetic and frequent so we could stay refreshed.

I love the course, it's challenging, well maintained and it's close to my house. I'd play here regularly but the customer experience is poor and I only play here when nothing else is available. From the minute you drive up - it's a ghost town. Head into the pro shop - I'm the only customer but the starter and the pro shop guy where in a conversation and couldn't get me out fast enough. No how are you, have you played here before a little info on how the course was playing - very transactional. Get out on the course - no ball washers?! It was wet and a bit muddy. I left my towel at home and when I tried to find one at the course I couldn't find anyone to even ask. Ghost town.. After the round I went back in to the pro shop to ask about what happened to the ball washers and the pins on the putting green and the guy was like - you should bring your own towel - there's a bucket of water on the first tee.. We never replaced them after COVID.. Lots of cart path only which didn't make a lot of sense but what do I know. All in all for the price point of $80 a round I'd expect a better experience. However, this has been their problem for years even before COVID. Again, love the course and would play a lot more if it was a better overall experience. Btw - never saw a cart girl so I was hungry and thirsty! 😝

It started off poorly from the start. 2 out of our foursome was checking in and the person in the pro shop was insistent on only releasing 1 cart even though the round was prepaid and we wanted both carts so we could go out to the parking lot and pick up the other two players. Explained the situation and that we had already paid for the round online but he didn't care. I'm dubious when I see the group ahead of us all playing from the tips but the starter assured us that the group in front of us are good and fast players. Nothing could be further from the truth. On every hole we had to wait at the tee box and fairways. No marshal had come out to check on us until well into the back 9. The cart girl was great though, she came by 4 times. Food after the round was mediocre and the service was extremely slow. I like the course itself but everything else other than the beverage cart service needs a lot of work.

The starter hurries us to tee of promptly (maybe two min early) to “keep up” to one his regular “fast” foursomes ahead of us….well, we push those slow pokes for 16 holes until a Marshall comes by and asks why we are FORTY-FIVE minutes behind pace. I ask him to look ahead and see that there’s nowhere to go but his “regular” 4-some has 1.5 holes open ahead of them. They hurry for one hole then lag again, and we finish on their tail in FIVE HOURS 20 MINUTES. UGH.

The fairway was nice, but the greens were dry and choppy. Cart service by Gabby was great, but post-round food at the restaurant was deeply lacking.

The course was in good shape except for the "punched" greens which is accepted given the discount price.

The last four holes are a real challenge. Anyone who enjoys a challenge should find those holes really interesting.

Since bridges rises up his price, I rarely play, the condition is still good, fairway and green are nice maintained.

Pace of play is terrible, takes 5.5-6 hours to play 18. Staff is ambivalent and busy with other stuff.. service level is VERY low. Holes are well lazed out, but first four holes are on clubhouse side of Bollinger, then next 11 holes are on other side of road, and last 3 holes back on clubhouse side. Impossible to get food / beverage after leaving clubhouse, unless you catch beverage cart college girl on Sat/Sun morning about 9-1pm. Expensive property and huge underused clubhouse. Too much overhead and not much service. Members have all the early tee times and jam the course with their slow play. Could be a great course, but business model is terrible and managed worse.

Great layout with a variety of holes and no two holes come in contact with each other. Course is set on a hillside with plenty of elevation changes throughout. Conditions were very nice with the fairways being excellent. Greens and modest slope to them, making them a perfect blend between being challenging but predictable Greens were receptive to approach shots and pitches. They were a bit spongy in the late afternoon

A number of the Tee boxes were uneven. Not too bad but noticeable. Bunkers had good quality sand in them. Pace of play was slow (5 hours) which seems to be the norm in this area

I’ll definitely play this course again

(Hi. I love to play your course, but my handicap (post polio) has made it very difficult to play. Evenwith a “blue flag” the cart would not allow to get within 50 yards of green. Cart path to green was too steep. Jj

Went to play Bridges on a warm Sunday. On a 90+ degree day, they had:
- no cart person
- multiple closed restrooms
- only 1 functioning water station or water fountain (!!)

Throw in a 5:15 round and it was one of my least favorite days on a golf course. I have never written a bad review for a golf course, but this one is well deserved. I will not be playing Bridges again any time soon.

Beautiful course and super friendly staff, everyone is very relaxed

Course was in good condition, but layout was.ridiculously difficult. Lots of forced carries and blind shots. Nearly all fairways were needlessly sloped where you need to hit your tee shot into the rough and let it bounce back into the fairway. Bring lots of golf balls.

Tough Course!! I don’t think the pros would even like coming here! Probably would have liked it better if I hit the ball straighter! 😁

Challanging Course, Difficult, need accurate ball possition. Pace was good because they put some distance from 1 hole to other hole. Well maintain, green was smooth & good condition.

Course was great with the exception of the fairways. Few holes where they were soaked and balls would plug on tee shots. Other than that, no complaints at all.
