The Bridges Golf Club

Money well spent through Hot Deals. Friendly staff, especially the starter/marshall who checked in to make sure everything was ok. The course was in great condition, very challenging greens but fun. Thank you!

They delayed tee offs for 1hr and 45 minutes because of "ice". No notifications? You have all our emails.

People do drive distances to reach the course. Was told of their restaurant and Driving range while you waited, but, strange at it sounds, their restaurant was not open and you cannot take a cart to Driving range, they suggested Driving your car there.

So we asked around and they opened their bar/grill [restaurant]. Finally went off and a 5 hour round later, yes 5hrs, we completed. I think it will be along time before I return...look give your money to Wente or Poppy Hills, etc...

This was our retry of this course after a less than favorable experience. Dan the course pro reached out after my last review and encouraged us to try again.

The starter was interactive and got us out a few minutes early since we were ready and no one was booked ahead of us. Pace was 4.5hrs this time and we saw multiple Marshalls on the course keeping things moving even though the 3-some ahead of us was over a hole behind by hole 9.

Course conditions were ideal, and no one was watering during our round as seen on so many other courses.

On-course amenities were great - water stations were full (not the case at most courses), and the cart staff (Gabbby?) was energetic and frequent so we could stay refreshed.

This course is not necessarily for the novice golfer. Prepare to shoot triple digits, especially if you don’t hit the fairways. It was a very humbling experience for someone that typically shoots mid 80s low 90s. But it was a very nice course and chances are I will play again.

Very challenging (I lost several golf balls), but very well kept. Bunkers could use some fresh sand but fairways and greens were solid. Some tee boxes were uneven.

Clubhouse was nice, bathrooms clean, carts in good shape. A little odd having to drive to the driving range down the street, so get there early if you expect to take some swings. Not a bad price for midweek. I’ll be back.

The course is in good condition, fairway is maintained very well, green is a bit slow, need to service

I love the course, it's challenging, well maintained and it's close to my house. I'd play here regularly but the customer experience is poor and I only play here when nothing else is available. From the minute you drive up - it's a ghost town. Head into the pro shop - I'm the only customer but the starter and the pro shop guy where in a conversation and couldn't get me out fast enough. No how are you, have you played here before a little info on how the course was playing - very transactional. Get out on the course - no ball washers?! It was wet and a bit muddy. I left my towel at home and when I tried to find one at the course I couldn't find anyone to even ask. Ghost town.. After the round I went back in to the pro shop to ask about what happened to the ball washers and the pins on the putting green and the guy was like - you should bring your own towel - there's a bucket of water on the first tee.. We never replaced them after COVID.. Lots of cart path only which didn't make a lot of sense but what do I know. All in all for the price point of $80 a round I'd expect a better experience. However, this has been their problem for years even before COVID. Again, love the course and would play a lot more if it was a better overall experience. Btw - never saw a cart girl so I was hungry and thirsty! 😝

It started off poorly from the start. 2 out of our foursome was checking in and the person in the pro shop was insistent on only releasing 1 cart even though the round was prepaid and we wanted both carts so we could go out to the parking lot and pick up the other two players. Explained the situation and that we had already paid for the round online but he didn't care. I'm dubious when I see the group ahead of us all playing from the tips but the starter assured us that the group in front of us are good and fast players. Nothing could be further from the truth. On every hole we had to wait at the tee box and fairways. No marshal had come out to check on us until well into the back 9. The cart girl was great though, she came by 4 times. Food after the round was mediocre and the service was extremely slow. I like the course itself but everything else other than the beverage cart service needs a lot of work.

Pace of play is terrible, takes 5.5-6 hours to play 18. Staff is ambivalent and busy with other stuff.. service level is VERY low. Holes are well lazed out, but first four holes are on clubhouse side of Bollinger, then next 11 holes are on other side of road, and last 3 holes back on clubhouse side. Impossible to get food / beverage after leaving clubhouse, unless you catch beverage cart college girl on Sat/Sun morning about 9-1pm. Expensive property and huge underused clubhouse. Too much overhead and not much service. Members have all the early tee times and jam the course with their slow play. Could be a great course, but business model is terrible and managed worse.

The starter hurries us to tee of promptly (maybe two min early) to “keep up” to one his regular “fast” foursomes ahead of us….well, we push those slow pokes for 16 holes until a Marshall comes by and asks why we are FORTY-FIVE minutes behind pace. I ask him to look ahead and see that there’s nowhere to go but his “regular” 4-some has 1.5 holes open ahead of them. They hurry for one hole then lag again, and we finish on their tail in FIVE HOURS 20 MINUTES. UGH.

The fairway was nice, but the greens were dry and choppy. Cart service by Gabby was great, but post-round food at the restaurant was deeply lacking.

(Hi. I love to play your course, but my handicap (post polio) has made it very difficult to play. Evenwith a “blue flag” the cart would not allow to get within 50 yards of green. Cart path to green was too steep. Jj

arrived 30 min ahead of tee-time. However, Proshop cashier didn't want me to checkin. Told me checkin time is 20 min before tee-time. I didn't see there have this rule hanging on the wall or stating on the web. General impression was that he want me to wait or take 2nd trip back to pro shop. He wasn't busy at the time.

Headline quote is from my instructor, Byron, who grew up in the East Bay, played at UCLA and Is intimately familiar with this venue. I’m glad he recommended it to me. Well worth the trip across the Bay Bridge from the City. Bridges is all around a superior test of the game than he primary public venues in SF (Presidio and Harding Park). Bridges is sophisticated in terms of Course architecture. It’s just doesn’t present the golfer with many tedious, unrevealing shots during the course of a round. It rewards a the player who understands his shot dispersion as a risk-reward situations abound on this course. Look forward to playing it again.

The course was in good shape except for the "punched" greens which is accepted given the discount price.

The last four holes are a real challenge. Anyone who enjoys a challenge should find those holes really interesting.

In immaculate condition, Pretty tough but not bad if you can just keep the ball in the narrow and sloping fairways by not smacking a driver on every hole
