Greens rolling well finally!

Course was a bit dry in some spots, but overall the greens were rolling well and that is usually not the case. Every time I play here I'm always disappointed in how slow and uncut/unrolled the greens are, but not this time! They were rolling great. They cut down weeds on lots of the hillsides so lots of balls were fed back toward the course which was nice.

If this is how Bridges always played I would be much more likely to come back...

Good Conditions, Tough Layout

The course is built in a valley with one side or the fairway being a hill and the other side being a drop-off on most of the holes. It's narrow, and punishing. There are also quite a few cart path only holes (4 or 5), which is always annoying.

Conditions were good and staff was friendly, but I don't know if I'd want to play here that often because of the quirks of the course. Maybe as you become familiar with it and know what clubs to hit in different situations, it gets better.

Hard Course In Great Condition

One of the best maintained courses in the East Bay. It is also the hardest course in the East Bay. Frustrating that several holes are always cart path only . Not a course for the out of shape or disabled golfer!

Tough course but the fee doesn't reflect a good value.

For the green fee you'd think they would have a functioning restaurant and beverage cart. The course greens are in rough shape. Not a single ball washer. Carts struggle to stop when hitting the breaks. The staff at the pro shop were super friendly, that was the only positive.

Terrible pace. Have a several groups ahead of us with 5 or more. One group had 7 people. Food was unavailable due to wedding. Which makes no sense especially when there are out of town players like myself going to spend the day out there. I’m

The absolute worst

This is probably the worst course I’ve played in 25 years. Tee boxes are slanted, fairways seemed like they were watered for 48 hours (96 degree weather), greens were decent. Pace of play is too slow, the clubhouse allows groups more than 4 to play together. We were stuck behind a group of 5 who was stuck behind a group of 8. Restaurant closed at 11 for a wedding so bring food with you, even if they don’t allow it. I would NEVER come back here and would NEVER recommend this course to anyone.

Make the 2 hour drive and play a course in Monterey county for the same price with tour level conditions.

Very poor staff interaction.

Very poor staff interaction. The man at the front desk, middle aged was rude, offensive and disrespectful. I am a 71 year old senior of Asian descent. His demeanor bordered on being abusive. Another gentleman who was waiting in line had to intervene to calm him down. No provocation anywhere for any reason. Perhaps he did not expect me to be there. It is a wonderfully laid out and very well kept course. I enjoyed my round with another fine golfer who I was lucky to find at the course.
