The Bridges Golf Club

Tee boxes need help

Some fairways were soaked, which caused balls to plug and some were lost even though were were dead center fairway !

By all accounts the Bridges has been rated at the top of courses to play in tge Bay Ares. Unfortunately, this great layout is in poor condition. Most of the tee boxes are gone. The fairways have not received the same care Ss in the past and the patrons have forgotten how to repair ball marks or even lift grit feet while walking on them. I do hope things get better. I miss the old Bridges

normally a great track.

A total dump rt now. Stay away.

This course was great to play at. I’ve been reading the reviews and people have been complaining about the tee boxes. They really aren’t that bad. People are just soft. Yes there are a couple bad ones, but for the most part they are fine. The greens ran well. Fairways were nice. Staff greeted us great and were very friendly. I recommend

course was in good shape except for tee boxes,,Im told things went wrong during repair..Most were ok though ,just had to find flat spot.Staff and starter were friendly.played at 1045-3pm and cart girl was by 3 times which was good....Forreeeee

Played here for the first time in a few years, and although the rest of the course was in decent shape, the tee boxes were absolutely horrible. No grass on any of them, just dirt and sand. Not sure what's going on with them, but they were without a doubt the worst tee boxes I have ever seen.

course condition was in average condition.. Tee boxes were in terrible shape Greens were ok but were very wet/soft Not a course I would play in the near future unless it improves

I booked the round after I noticed the 7:35am tee time was only $56 w/ cart included. I read the negative reviews here citing the terrible conditions but decided to go for it as it was the only early AM tee time in the area. I grew up playing The Bridges at a time when it was considered the premier public course in the East Bay and rounds were easily $100+. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. I don't know what happened but this course almost feels abandoned.

As others have mentioned, the tee boxes are in horrendous shape. We were told by a few members that apparently they fertilized the tee boxes at some point but forgot to water them..... I'm not sure how this happens, but the result left nearly every tee box on the course in unplayable condition with almost no grass to tee off from. Additionally, the greens are slow, soft and lumpy. I don't know what happened to this course, perhaps the combination of COVID and the recent heat waves are to blame but I sense a larger problem of shrinking profits which have lead to neglect of the course conditions.

It makes me sad to leave this review as I have many great memories of playing golf at the Bridges as a junior learning the game but this is simply not the course I remember. Honestly, the conditions are at a point where they would likely need to shut down the course for 3-6 months for a complete overhaul but my guess is they don't have the $$$ to make that happen. I worry if they continue to neglect the course the way it is now, it may become unsalvageable.

I played The Bridges yesterday morning and wanted to share feedback with the staff and my fellow Bay Area golfers:

- Masks required at check in, near clubhouse.

- Ability to ride solo in cart for $5 extra.

- Speed of play was OK for a holiday / weekend morning.

- Course condition, quality is not in line with price of green fees.

- Tee boxes on majority of holes are in very poor condition. No grass, hitting off mud.

Absolutely love the layout of this course . Played here 2 months ago and conditions were perfect but now it’s completely deserted. Tee boxes are dirt only, you’d be lucky to find a patch of grass. Greens are So beat up with players spike marks and divots everywhere. Sad because this course is very fun to play but would high recommend staying away till conditions get better.

It was just about 100 degrees so the course should have played nice, but that wasn’t the case. There was a lot of standing water in 50% of the fairways and mud as well. I can count 4 Tee boxes that were average (Grass, decent footing, etc.). The rest were very poor. Some not even having any grass. For the amount that I paid for the the green fern and extra $10 for the Covid 19 cart, this was not worth it. You can find better value at other Bay Area courses.

this is a great layout and challenging course but lately the Tee Boxes have been getting worse and worse. There is nearly no grass left, just dirt in most places. No flat spots, very lumpy does not make for a good t shot. I like this course and conditions are usually good but for the price, these T boxes need to be completely redone. Will play Canyon Lakes until Bridges fixes these horrendous T boxes.

Used to be my favorite course around the area, and surprisingly condition of the course became so bad recently. Tee boxes are all muddy, fairway and green did not properly trimmed. Not to mentioned the rough will always eat your balls. Please, the management needs to do something or you are losing people’s loyalty.

course was in very bad condition, most of the tee boxes are in terrible state, the greens are quite rough
