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.

Abismal Service Great Golf

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 .
