Good Course but Needs Some Work!

I live very close to the course and have been playing here often as of late. It is a good layout and the greens are always in good condition as are the fairways generally. The tee boxes need a ton of work. They are in worse shape than any of the courses in the area. It is almost like they were tilled with hardly any grass. For as much as the green fees are you would think they would take care of them and manage them well before they get this ugly! I wish I had taken some pictures to post, but I was not expecting to have to write a review.

The worst course in the San Francisco Bay Area!

The bridges golf course has gone downhill for some time now, the original layout has been changed and it's now terrible. There is a new greens keeper and he's burned every tee box to a practically unusable state. None of the tee boxes are flat any longer and the place is run generally for the wedding services. Pace of play was terrible and the people managing the play are the cart boys who are likely 17 years old. The manager is not a golfer so the entire place is run for weddings, it's become a complete garbage operation with high turnover in the staff because management is terrible. There are signs everywhere telling you to leave your coolers in your car but there's no drink service on the course nor are there any water jugs due to the ignorant covid management decisions. Play somewhere else, trust me on this. This course isn't worth playing for free.

Course was not as good as shape as in the past. Greens were slow, fairways in good shape. Tee boxes were in poor condition.

always tough

I love the course. Usually in great condition. Employees are friendly. It is a tough course, you can lose a ball on almost every shot. If you can't keep the ball in the fairway, play somewhere else or begin extra balls. when i am hitting the ball better, i will play the course again.

I do think they need to up a cart path on #12 and 16.

First Time Playing

Had a great time out at The Bridges!!!

Firstly, before even starting our round, I have to say the staff and Gentleman at the Pro-Shop were EXTREMELY friendly and hospitable. With the Pandemic around us, the facility was very well prepared and followed protocol to ensure the safety of its guests, which I really appreciated. Our Foursome was given each their own cart which most golf courses I’ve visited during the Pandemic, could not provide. They also kept us on a nice schedule which had groups spaced out in a manner where we could really take our time and strategically approach each shot, without feeling rushed. (As this was my first time playing here, not feeling rushed was a HUGE plus.) We didn’t reach the group ahead of us until the 18th Hole, so virtually zero wait time at the tee boxes. I really liked the Golf Carts provided to us, it came equipped with GPS and great detail of the course. The course was well maintained, the greens were awesome and very challenging. Tee boxes needed some work but I’m sure they are very aware of that. I must say that we paid $87 per person for the tee time, and it was worth every penny. A great value, for excellent service and an amazing experience! A BIG Thank you to the ENTIRE Bridges Golf Staff. I’m definitely coming back and recommending to others!

Very challenging course

Love Bridges, have played many times but.....the tee boxes were a joke. What a mess. They definitely need to re-seed, re-plant, or re-do the tee boxes. Awful

What happened?

Prior to covid I used to play the bridges at least 1-2 times every 2 months. Usually the problem with the course is the greens but they were probably the healthiest I've seen in a year. But the tee boxes ugh idk what happened but looks like they either got infected or the ground squirrels are just destroying them. With that said it is always a nice course and a challenge but it's not worth 80$, yet it is packed 24/7 right now...so what do I know.

Great Course - Super Difficult

Everything was great except my score. Course is very difficult and you will get punished for the most minor draws and fades. But when you do well here it's worth it haha. Course and facilities all top notch. I will be back although not too soon, my ego is still whimpering...

Tough but really nice

Course was in great condition. Amazing to finally see a course that wasnt flooded with players, even on a Friday afternoon. Definitely a tough course, newer golfers or high handicaps should stay away or risk losing a lot of balls! Some tough shots off the tee but overall a really fun course!

Great Course

This was an awesome course to play at. You have to set up your shots as there are rolling hills to play off of. The fairways and greens are in great conditions ! However the tee boxes can definitely use some work there is lots of wildlife on the course . Bunch of squirrels, quail and jackrabbits. Saw a doe on the course as well. Got stuck behind a slow group where two groups before passed them up. You would think they got the point after the first group passed them but that didn’t happen. No marshal to speed them up. The golf carts also use the GPS tracking which is really helpful to figure out how you want to approach a hole. The 90 degree rule is in effect as well. Overall I would recommend the course and for others to play.

The course has gone downhill

We used to avidly play this course. Have only played a few times since they opened after closing due to COVID.

The tee boxes are completely unacceptable. The tee boxes were not great before (uneven, not consistent, line you up poorly) but are incredibly bad right now.

In addition, I’ve never seen Bridges in this bad shape.

Poor conditions

Tee boxes and fairways were in very poor condition. Something is tearing them up and they don’t seem to be doing anything about it. The only thing in decent condition were the greens although players do not repair their ball marks. Saw rakes in bunkers which I didn’t think was allowed with COVID-19.

WOW

First time playing this course and All I can say is WOW. The views are wonderful, the fairways, sand traps, and greens were in excellent shape, and the staff was super friendly. They had a drink cart in operation and they even had 2 guys cleaning all your clubs as you putt out on 18. The only bad thing I can say is that most of the tee boxes were in rough shape but not horrible. I will Definitely be back!!
