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.

Course Highlights
A tricky layout with a creek weaving through risk-reward holes and well-placed bunkers consistently challenges and rewards golfers across the Chicagoland area. Exceptionally friendly staff, solid course conditions, and a well-regarded on-site grill make this a standout value.

Redesign 18

18 ruins the whole course. Stupid design with ridiculous trees blocking a great green.

Best Course in Bristol!!

They keep the course in really good shape all season long. If you are looking for quick greens that roll true and well maintained fairways, this is the place for you. I’ve never had a bad experience at BlackBerry and highly recommend everyone to try it out!!

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.
