The Bridges Golf Club

The Bridges is the total package, an excellent facility. The golf course is challenging, interesting, fun to play, and has a good mix of holes. It has fine practice areas (the best putting green I've seen anywhere), friendly & competent staff, and the facility looks beautiful. I always see and feel the high quality of The Bridges as I approach the entrance. It's a very pleasing place to play .

Tough course, well maintained. Bring lots of balls...

First, you must bring a lot of golf balls to play this course, you are going to lose a few. Some folks will lose a lot.

The course was in great shape, especially compared to other courses due to water shortage, they seem to have plenty of water for this course. The greens were in good shape but the slopes make it very difficult to putt.

Be prepared for a lot of hiking, the tees and greens all have approaches where you will be required to climb steep embankments.

The staff and facilities were outstanding, very friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well maintained.

Difficult course for the first time visitor. Tee shots are not as they appear and placement of your tee shot is imperative for a decent score. Hit it too far and it goes past the turn or runs out of fairway. Hit is to short and it does clear the barranca.
Greens are in above avg condition. Actually a bit slower than what you would expect. Fairways are in good condition but unfairly sloped sometimes even when you are in perfect position. The second time you play, you will shave 5 strokes, just knowing where to hit the tee shot.

As a 15 handicap, I played from the gold tees. There we many holes where the fairway started at 180 yards. Many holes with forced carries on a par 4 the required a layup. May holes had blind shots and hidden hazards.

This golf course is tough yet rewarding if you hit your spots. They aerated the greens March 15th so they were still in rough shape. Fairways and greens were in great shape considering the drought. Bunkers were nicely kept and full of sand. You have to hit the ball relatively straight because of so many hazards around the fairways. It's a good and challenging golf course for the money. Will play again.

The first time I played 2 weeks ago, I shot a 45 on the front 9 (average for me) with 2 birdies and 3 pars. This time was different. I lost 14 balls on the front 9 and didn't keep score. The wind made it tough to keep the ball in play. That said, we had tons of fun. I like the way you feel like you're the only person on the course due to the hills and trees. Lots of dog legs.

I read the reviews prior to playing the course. The course truly isn't forgiving if you don't hit your spots so be prepared to lose balls if you're not accurate. I lost a few but the foursome in front of us was constantly looking for lost balls off course. Bring extras if you can't hit straight!
Some holes are like target golf where you have to hit certain areas to get to the next. Some of the holes are deceiving since you tee off above the course but luckily we got paired with a gentleman who knew the course well.

I have been playing this course from day one of opening. Was a very good couse with good management. Lately. Last few years. Well read on:
Last week Course offered a replay because greens were punched. When we played manager said it was 7 days since punching and no replay. The greens were in worse shape than when first punched. We were there. This course when in great shape is a $100 course. Unfortunately that was a long time ago. There are many other courses in far better shape for $35 or less. If you play as a group this course puts singles out all day. Meaning you need to let them play thru. Very poorly managed compared to previous years. Food service is non existant. Cant get hold of grill by phone. Apparently far to busy to take orders. There were 3 people in entire place when i went to physically order food. Expected a Tip Did offer to bring out to me 45 min later cold. Personally the only reason I am going back is that I do have a voucher from the first day after the punching.
Believe me i expect to get less value than the free round. If I could use ifree round somewhere else and pay say $30. I would go there
Whatever you do. Dont play on a weekend. Weekdays are bad enough. Hope i did not leave anything out. Oh they did have a cart person the first day we played. She was very pleasant and service oriented. The management does not know what service means. TIPS. TO INSURE PROMPT SERVICE. the lady at bar first day just expected a tip. The lady (different person ) at the bar the second day was very service oriented and very friendly.
Cant wait to see the sign. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

greens under aerating/sanding maintenance (mar 18, 2015). due to greens conditions, course gave us coupon for free round to be used by end of april. made this round a good value.

I had played this course several years back and found no oone willing to play it with me recently. The Bridges is a target golf course with tee shots needing to hit targets as well as all shats made. Simply stated, if you dont hit the target, you won't score well.
the course was in very good conditons, sporting some fairway bald spots and ground under repair (like most No. CA. courses during the drought).

If you like target golf and want a challenge, The Bridges is a good test of skill

This course is beautiful but does not reward good shots. It also took over 5.5 hours to play on a Monday and the snack cart was out of food when we saw it. I'll never play here again.

it was a beautiful day on a beautiful coarse. Some hole challaging others are fun. Very great day.

The bridges is a challenging course . Most greens are well kept however some seemed over played and bumpy . At times I found myself repairing my line of putt quite often .

Also noticed most golfers don't fix or replace divots out there .

The marshal wasn't very friendly at all . In fact Everyone else was very friendly except the one marshal . Kind of made me feel as if it was his course and we were trespassing . If so , he should have his employees fix the greens and divots if he's going to charge 89.00 ( golf now rate )

Not that I expect perfection for 89

This course was one of the most fun but most challenging courses I have ever played. It was a very wet morning and I played as a single going out early in the morning. I never waited on a tee and simply played from start to finish. However the fairways are narrow and accuracy is at a premium because should you stray at all from the fairway, the odds are better than not that you will be playing a new ball. A delightful course with beautiful views but not for a beginner or really even an intermediate player. If you don't regularly shoot in the low 90s or lower go somewhere else or stock up on balls before you hit this course because you are going to need them!

PRETTY FUN AND A MUST PLAY. NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT I LIKE THE COARSE

Course was in good/fair condition...fairways were
plugged...tee box/greens were good.If you go off
the fairway...you have little room before your ball
goes in the canyon...if you don't hit straight..DON`T
PLAY this course!
Club house/Pro Shop were nice...staff was good.

Awesome track, tough first time not knowing layout but great course to play. Play every time it come to Ca.

I had heard so many good comments about this course saying it was a tough layout but a not to be missed experience. I found it to be a nice course but nothing special. The tees looked like a rototiller had gotten loose. Most of the greens had so many unrepaired ball marks it seemed the club had prohibited their repair. I was glad I used a Rewards voucher rather than even the discount rate. Can't imagine paying $65 rack rate.

This was a tough track that should have made for a fun day. But there were a couple of asian foursomes in front of us that were intent on having a long day with their friends. 5 hours and forty minutes is too long.
