The Bridges Golf Club

Very challenging course. Can be frustrating due to narrow fairways and losing a lot of balls. Has forced carrys that require lay ups or long drives. Greens are challenginf with lots of breaks. Be prepared for higher than normal scores.

Pro shop did not book me @ 12:20pm. They had me tee off @ 12:50pm

Course was in great shape, greens were soft, receptive and rolled true. They are performing some moderate course reconditioning, they are taking some bunkers out and adding some new ones. So other than occassional work crew on the course, the views are fantastic with challenging holes.

Very good condition and very challenging. However, the pace was not good enough. The group in front of my group was too slow and I didn't see martial try to correct that.

I was somewhat disappointed in this course. It's definitely a challenge but I was expecting better conditions. Bunkers were mediocre and the course seems to have some serious drainage issues. The thing that surprised me the most was the speed of the greens. I was expecting them to be quick but not so. Even on a dry day they were very slow. I also think there are some hokey holes on this track, just sort of awkward. That being said there are also some gems. Don't get me wrong its worth getting out on, especially if you can find a good rate. However, to really enjoy this course you probably need to play it four or five times and Im not feeling it that much.

Fun course to play - very challenging - definitely for the more skilled and lower handicap player!

It is primarily a beautiful course and very challenging. However, the conditions were really bad, most of the bunkers were unplayable and the grass was long.

The groups in front were slow and the group imediately in front was, however, compensated by the dozens of balls they found in the bushes, another reason for the slow play.

The two guys playing in our group left and disappeared after the 7th hole but I do not blame them. I could only manage to play 15 holes in 4 1/4 hours.

It spoiled my day.

I was so excited and expected to play this course. Because this course's green fee is expensive. But my expectation is broken.
Course is wet and sleepy even though raining was 5 days ago, pace is horrible.

Pretty pleasing course. Some slower players would not let us through but the Marshall's helped out. Bring your target golf here. Fun hitting over hazards but lost a few golf balls here!

The course is very difficult from the back tees as the landing areas are often barely visible and many tee shots require less than driver or a solid ability to shape a tee shot. The green complexes are interesting and offer challenging up and downs, but the greens themselves are frequently bumpy, patchy, and generally haggered. The surfaces used to be better - not sure if it's a volume issue or if they're softening them to ease play, but something's going on there. Overall, play forward of where you would normally and expect bumpy greens if you're not going out early.

The course was in great shape and played a round in 4 hours (3 PM tee time). Definitely purchase a yardage book at the pro shop since there are a few blind tee shots. Awesome deal to play for $35.

I have a love hate relationship with the Bridges golf course. On the one hand, I love the beauty of the course. It's well maintained and has the feeling of a high-end golf course in every regard. On the other hand, it's too darn difficult if your game is not on. Johnny Miller courses tend to punish players who can't keep the ball in the fairways and hit many GIR. But Bridges is the worst of all.

My game was on when I played on September 14 and I still scored badly. The main reason was I lost a number of balls and not all of them because of really bad shots. No, when you miss fairways here, even by just a little, it's often the equivalent of lost balls. There is simply no room for mistakes off the tee.

In the end, I give the course 4 stars because it's a very nice course. But I would give it no more than 2 stars for playability. Stay away from this course if you can't hit straight.

Course is difficult but only "unfair " on a couple holes. It helps if you play with someone that knows the course, as we were lucky enough to do. Very well maintained for the most part. Pace of play was a bit of a problem for a weekday - would not want to hit this course on a busy weekend. Overall a great ,challenging golf experience.
