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.

Pace of Play

We teed off 11:30am and finished the round at 5:45pm.

Six hours and 45 minutes to play 18 holes. No rangers on the course to move players. Golfers playing from blue tees who should have played from forward tees. Every hole was a huge backup of foursomes. Absolutely unacceptable. Very disappointing for everyone.

Nice

Very nice course in great condition. Many interesting holes. #18 is really tough, borderline unfair for average golfers. But all in all, a great course.

Awesome place

I usually shoot around 100 so I'm not the best but this course has great holes for beginners and pros alike, the best hole is the 18th in my opinion. Great place to golf and very friendly staff.

Pretty Good Course

Beautiful course and layout...early in the year for a few barespots on a very few greens. The negative was we had the group behind us hit into us on 3 holes in a row. Pace of play was just less than 4 hrs
