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.

Early Round to Beat the Heat
I wanted to get out for an early round in the midst of this heatwave and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to book at this course as a single through GolfNow. The green fee was reasonable at $57 including fees. The course is in good shape and mostly playable. The greens were dry, hard, and fast which made scoring difficult, but overall it was an enjoyable round. I will return to this course.
Mundane property
Decent value. Really strange the pro shop told me I could not tee off early despite the tee sheet being wide open and only playing as a single.
Top Notch
The course was in great shape.,well laid out. The staff was extremely friendly. We'll come back.
Don’t bother
Average but overpriced course. I used a deal time. Got there bout an hour early. NOBODY on the tee box for 31 minutes! But wouldn’t let me out because I used a Deal time. THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A STARTER ! ! !Never again.
Excellent and challenging golf course to play
This golf course was in above average condition except for some of the sand traps that needed to be raked and cleaned up. It is definitely a challenging golf course from the back tees. I am not big fan of the 18th hole but for the money it is definitely worth playing this golf course again.
Great course, great price, great layout!
Haven’t been to blackberry oaks yet but this was my first time being able to play it and I will be back! Great price while being greeted by very professional welcoming staff! 10/10!
Great Course
First time playing Blackberry Oaks and was not disappointed one bit. Course was in great condition, all the staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant was great too. Definitely will be back.
Great Course for the Value
My wife and I are from out of town and found this course. We will DEFINITELY play here again if we're in the area. The course wasn't overly crowded so the pace of play was great. The conditions were great as well and the staff was friendly. It was slightly challenging but the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend!
