The Bridges Golf Club

Played on a weekday afternoon. Barely any one else on the course it was a great quick round. Probably gets pretty busy on the weekends though. Beautiful setup.

The layout tough but cartpath only really made it rough if you don't know the course.

I didn’t know that there were too many areas that were far path only. Also sharing cart with a stranger was new to me too. But altogether good course with difficulty.

The course is in great shape, some work needs to be done on the tee boxes

The course is in great shape, however the tee boxes need a lot of work

Course condition was great considering the rain from previous week and we were asked to play cart path only to keep it that way. Green speed was a tad slower than I remembered - but it made it less difficult to play the course that is already pretty much 133 slope from the white tee. I'd play blue tee in the summer but not when ball gets plugged on the fairway. I went into the bunkers a couple times and they were in great shape (I didn't get out any easier though). Pace of play was slow until the ranger showed up and nudged them to pick up the pace. After that we never had to wait - accelerated all they way to finish the round in 4 hour 20 min mark (with a walking player in the group).

Despite a 2.5 hour frost delay, starter did a good job of getting everyone on the course as timely as possible. Problem was with a Marshall who kept harassing us from hole 9-14. He told us we were more than a hole behind, but clearly he was on some power trip because we were at our worse, one hole behind, after we hit a patch of lost ball finding. We closed the gap to being to see the group ahead on the green or at the next tee box, but the harassing continued till one of the golfers showed him the photos we took on each hole of the group ahead of us. Without the photo evidence, he threatened to have us slip a hole. Either he got our group confused or he was on a major power trip. Marshals can other job and not be overbearing to the point it ruins the enjoyment of the round for everone else.

This golf course is in good grass condition and has a beautiful view

Bridges is definitely target golf. Brush on the hillsides have been cut down that offers some forgiveness on errant shots. Layout offers every shot from every club in the bag. Forced carries, strategic layups and dog legs left and right. The Bridges has it all.

Fairways were damp and offered little to no roll out of you have a high ball flight off the tee. Greens rolled nice and smooth at a perfect medium fast pace.

Both price and pace of play were reasonable. Not a course for beginners but certainly a track for someone who wants to challenge their game and who appreciates good conditions
