About
Formerly known as Poplar Creek Country Club, the club was transformed into the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club in 2011. Besides just the name change, the design itself was dramatically reinvented. Fifteen holes were completely redesigned but the golf course's most memorable holes were left untouched. Bunkers and fairways were reconfigured and fescue was planted to provide more depth and definition. To make the course even more challenging, new lakes were also added. The golf course is definitely a shot maker's layout that rewards accuracy and thoughtful strategizing. The final three holes are considered by many locals to be the toughest finishing trio in all of Illinois. It begins with an uphill par 4, followed by the longest par-3 and par-4 holes respectively. The Bridges of Poplar Creek C.C. offers a round that will challenge even the most avid golfers.

Tees Need TLC
I've played this course several times but never saw the tees in such bad shape.
It is a difficult course for us seniors because you have to carry many water hazards with your approach shots. Bring lots of golf balls.
Friendly staff, all the amenities
The course was in great shape and the entire staff was friendly. A fun place to enjoy a round of golf.
Course in great shape
The course was in great shape. Greens rolled quick and true. Pace was outstanding for a Friday. Check it out.
Good not great
It’s the beginning of summer so the place has plenty of time to grow and improve the course. I love front 9 enjoy the back 9. Some tee boxes has some growing but it’s still better than average. Biggest problem here is they allow people to tee off at back 9 which makes it crowded. Towards the end other than that it’s good not great
Fun Course
The course was well maintained. The layout was little challenging for beginner golfer like me but my sister and I had fun playing. Since it rained the day before we played, the course was very wet but it would have been the same anywhere else. I would come back again to play golf.
Sweet Course!
This is a Nice, course. my tee time fee was very reasonable and the pace of play was study , I really enjoyed this golf course.
Nice but slow
65 degrees in November, $45 to ride, beautiful course. Can’t ask for more other than the fact that we waited every single shot for almost the entire round and we weren’t playing that fast. Pretty brutal pace and from what the two guys I were playing with said, that’s pretty much how this course goes most of the time. not sure I’ll come back
