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.

Good test of your game
For spring golf it was great, greens a little bumpy, not too wet fairway, with 5 inches of snow they day before.
Bb Oaks in April
Blackberry is always a a challenging and fun course to play. Staff is always friendly. New carts are neat. Course was a bit soggy in some places but overall was in good shape. Seemed like the sand traps were improved.
Tee time 1130am went with a 2 some at 1110am, love the new carts, bluetooth stereo speakers, 2 USB chargers, gps, good value, very nice course, play here a lot, can always find deals on weekend afternoons,
Fun course to Play
Blackberry Oaks is a challenging and fun course to play. the course is in very good condition consistently and the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
Hidden Gem!
Really nice course for the money. Greens in great shape!
Misty Mister
Nice course with fairways pretty wide and accessible. Started to rain lightly after the front 9 and some HS kids were getting ready to tee off 10 so we jumped ahead to 12 and it kept raining til 18. We only played 16 holes, but its a course I will play again for sure.
Very nice course
Very beautiful course manicured extremely well fairways were cut short very nice
Good job blackberry oaks !
Busy but orderly
Groupings were pretty well stacked up but we got around in 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon. Not bad.
Expected the course to play firmer because of the dry weather, but greens held well and had consistent pace. One of my favorite layouts.
Great course, worth the drice
First time playing here. Loved the course and the layout. It’s about an hour trip for me to get there but it was well worth it. The course was in great shape. It’s fairly challenging, especially the par 3s. I will definitely be back.
Very Nice!
First time I played here, very nice golf course, well layed out and very challenging. I will definitely play again.
Nice track
For the 1st time playing this course it is well designed. It makes you think about how to approach each fairway. Doglegs and lay ups. Wish it wasnt so windy today. Holes played into the wind and and others the wind was coming across sideways pushing the ball into the fescue. Will definitely take the drive our again..
Worth the trip
Play here a couple times annually. It's an hour trip. Otherwise I'd be here more often. Plenty of challenging holes. Challenging, but fair to the point of a properly placed ball will give you a shot at par. There are bailouts.
18 is a GREAT hole!
Course was in near perfect conditions. Traps were a little hard and wet, but the rest of the course was great. One of my favorite layouts in the Chicago area.
