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.

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.

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.

Nice course to play, worth a long drive to play it.

A four star course. Beautiful as well. Play the white tee with other guys in group.

Not feel the length but still not made Birdy.

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

Course staff is not very welcoming, pace of play is horrible considering they pair up walking and riding groups. Greens were well kept and course was fun to play.

Cold weather
Walked

first time play on this course

course was in excellent condition considering it bwas April 16th . Weather this day was light rain, sleet at times , and strong winds . there were only 6 other golfers that day and it was walking only so we played very fast . course is maintained very well and greens were rolled and played very fast considering wet and cold . liked the layout of the course with lots of sand traps , bunkers , and water to navigate through. will definitely play this course later in the year when weather is more golfer friendly .
