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.

Fantastic Course
This has to be my favorite local courses and it did not disappoint. Course was in great shape, everyone was super friendly and the food at the grill was delicious.
I'll be back again soon!
Fun course with some difficult shots.
Being from Tucson I really enjoyed playing a course out in Illinois, especially one that had some great holes like blackberry oaks.
I enjoyed my round and the staff was friendly. The clubhouse and restaurant was great too.
I’ll be back next time I’m visiting the area.
nicely maintained golf course
played on a sunday late morning , pace of play was very good for a sunday . most courses in my area or having difficulty keeping up with the draught conditions we are experiencing but Blackberry Oaks was in really nice shape and grens ran true
Nice golf course
The golf course was well maintained even after a heavy rain the night before, although the sand traps were a little "rocky" more than sand. It was on the expensive side compared to other golf courses in the area. But a very nice course to play.
Course conditions
Overall the course was in good shape. Downfall like a lot of golf courses is the sand traps need attention. More sand, some of the traps the plastic liner was sticking up thru the sand.
Blackberry Oaks
Fast greens nice course and great clubhouse and restaurant.
