The Bridges Golf Club

Nice fairway, beautiful green condition.
Challenging course.
You should prepare extra balls! ^ ^

I love the course, very challenging, hard and well maintained

Played for the first time. Had fun but challenged on some holes. Played on a windy day which made it even tougher.

course was in great condition. it makes you play smart and hit good shots. lots of trouble for the errant ones. great value for the price

This is a difficult course, but fair. If you're an errant driver of the ball, you'll lose a lot of golf balls as trouble exists too far off the fairway on most (if not all) holes. That being said, it's not ridiculous. The course rewards solid, conservative, smart plays and will have you using a variety of clubs off the tee, on approaches, etc. Short par 4s present good scoring opportunities, while the par 5s are guarded by ravines ahead of the greens.

The course is extremely well kept and the staff is very friendly with the marshals making sure everyone is moving. Bring your A game and some extra golf balls.

For first timers this course will eat you up. Course knowledge goes a long way. Conditions are great, well kept bunkers are fluffy. Green conditions vary from slow and spongy to fast and firm. The layout will test your ability to hit the long clubs in your bag, although it will be smart play to keep it in the fairway and away from rough and hillsides because hitting a ball OB will turn an beautiful day into a miserable one. Well managed, very courteous staff. Watch out for big tournament days because they will turn a 430 round into a 5 hour plus round very quickly. This course is meant to bring out your A game and most often it will find a way to make you fail. I'd recommend it to all with exception to beginner golfers.

If you can hit straight, this course is great. If you spray a bit, good luck to you. Take lots of balls, you will lose some, because if you can't stay on the fairway, it will break your back.

the greens were soft and held shots, but were VERY slow
to wet, grass too long???

Greens were just punched so that was understandable but a couple of the fairways are being worked on. #2 & 14 other than that it played great.

1. Not able to deliver my clubs to my car at end of play discouraging, when you are tired
2 very nice course
3. the lack of a marshall made the pace of play almost unbearable on the back nine

This is the most unfair course I have ever played. The conditions of the course itself was very good. The greens were fair if you put the ball in the proper location. Good shots were punished due to crazy bounces. Of course bad shots were punished and rightfully so. I'm a 10.3 handicap and shot 96. My friend is a 3 and shot 88 so that tells you all you need to know about the difficulty of this course. I won't ever play this course again. As for the staff and the food, both were outstanding. Very friendly staff who treated everyone first class.

Great course that highly rewards good tee shots. 1/2 the holes present scoring opportunities with good tee-shots (5 par-4's are drive-able or nearly drive-able depending on the tees you play). On the other hand, you can loose a lot of strokes with errant shots as either side of pretty much every fairway is "junk". As an example I shot 2 over and went in the "junk" 3 times. Greens are in decent shape but run medium-slow in regards to speed. There's a fair amount of undulation on most every green so it's important to be on the right side of the hole whenever possible. There's little to no grain on the greens and short grass so putting runs as it looks and chipping through the fringe is simple. The grill closes at 4pm so don't plan on grabbing a burger if you finish after 4pm.

There is no reason for anyone having a handicap higher than 8 to play this course. The fairways are narrow and winding and if your drive misses the fairway, you pull a new ball out of your bag. You won't find your ball off the fairway here and you sure won't hit out of it. Many of the blue tees also face the fairway at an angle exaggerating the difficulty.
The fairways and greens are in very nice condition but it isn't enough for me to recommend this course.

Very challenging... each hole, each shot ... but if
you play smart, and don't try to do too much, you
can play very affective..and enjoy it... Very scenic, well
maintained, very fair... rewards good play, penalty for
mistakes...

The staff at The Bridges are very friendly. The course is beautiful but very challenging. This a long course so be ready to use your fairway woods and long irons. If you are an average player, you might want to consider buying an extra case of golf balls.

Very nice golf course. Very challenging, course in great condition. Good golf course for the price.

Played with 2 beginners, and 1 member. 1 beginner could only play 2 holes before just riding in cart the rest of the day, other beginner went thru over 2 dozen golf balls.The Member had an off day and quit after 9 holes (lost 5 balls). Bring your "A" game to this course and don't be afraid to play up a Tee box untill you have played it a few times... Lots of 100 yard (plus) carry from the Tee boxs. A few blind Tee shots. Elevation changes all over. Lots of risk/reward shots. Great course. And a little pricey still.

Had a great time with my friend. Afternoon tee time $37 with a cart, lost some balls(bring at least a dozen with you), but if you keep it straight you will be ok. From the whites, you dont have to be long, but be precise. Beautiful setting, lots of wildlife( Wild turkeys, rabbits, quails, etc.) You will either love it or hate it....I will go back.

Tough course ,great setting ,very difficult .Players should be cautioned strongly on what tees to play . Group in front were novices and chose to play blue tees. We waited on every shot. Slowest round of golf I have ever played. Staff was apologetic ,and marshall did try to speed up play but to no avail. Drove 190 miles round trip to play. Slow play would be only reason I would not come back

I am not a fan, I played this course 2 times years ago and swore I would avoid it in the future. The choice was San Ramon or The Bridges, what choice. As you walk off the second green you look up the valley and the layout is not bad, but you have fairway, cart path and gunch. The outlying vegetation must be endangered, the playable area seems to shrink due to the lack of trimming of said vegetation. The first par 3, you cant see the flag from the tee because the large growth that has gone untouched. I wont comment on the greens, early spring come aeration. Never again.
