Rating Snapshot
About
Blackberry Oaks in Bristol is a public golf course that has been recognized as one of the Chicagoland area's best courses. The course design utilizes the natural beauty and hazards of the landscape including the native wetlands, grassy prairies, and towering stands of mature oaks. Blackberry Creek also meanders through the course. In addition to the natural hazards, a heavy smattering of strategically placed bunkers was also incorporated into the design. Although it can seem intimidating, the golf course isn't overly formidable if you can manage to stay out of the sand and water. The third and 12th holes are two par 4s that are memorable for their water hazards. The third has a lake along either side and the 12th has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water.

Staff very friendly
GPS and Bluetooth speakers available in cart.
I will be back
Nice course, if you’re not in a hurry
Beautiful course, that’s tougher than it seems. Nice kept secret in the far west burbs. Mature trees and water hazards make this a good course for all skill levels, but the pace of play definitely needs improvement. This course gets bonus points after I saw a guy throw one of his clubs in the water. Awesome!
Nice course
Nice course. Many interesting holes. Great condition. Back tees challenging for the better players, front tees make it doable for developing golfers.
Slow play
Went out as a single two foursomes ahead of me would not let me play through rangers were no help
Nice course
Played the round in 4 hours on a busy Sunday afternoon. Course was in great shape
Good Track, reasonably maintained, Friendly Staff
The course is maintained well. Challenging lay-out for average player.
Fairways could use some aeration / topdressing and over-seeding.
Great test for all levels
Course played great for so early in the season. The greens were very fast and in great shape.
Good Track, reasonably maintained, Friendly Staff
Good: Fairly well maintained, moderate difficulty, nuances in course design make a flat terrain quite interesting. Walkable, Senior friendly course. Sand bunkers are much better than the last time I played here
Would Like to see some improvements in: repairing the tee boxes. (They are a total mess) ; fixing the numerous divots on every fairway, ; repairing some bald patches on a few fairways; repairing some muddy low spots
Will try to play this course again.
Will return
Great course. GPS carts with Bluetooth speakers was a plus, will return for another round.
Excellent experience. Great value.
The course was in very good shape. Interesting layout. The greens were excellent. Driving range. Restaurant and bar. A new course we’re adding to our list
Love this layou!
Always fun and challenging. Make mistakes you pay. Just love the creek meandering thru.
