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.

Nice track,sand was a little hard.
Nice track.sand needs attention,very hard,and some places very sparse.
The Bridges
The name tells you there is a lot of water but mostly on the front nine. Greens rolled nicely. Fairways in great shape but a little narrow in the front and opens up on the back. Bunkers need improvement. Starter was the only friendly staff person.
Nice layout
Nice layout. Greens are sloped so don't miss on the wrong side of the hole. Bunkers were hard, need more sand.
Bunkers and greens
The greens are in very rough shape some of the bunkers are being worked on and have wood poles and no sand in them. The tea boxes were also very beat up not the best experience this time around
AAAA++++++
Great conditions. In beautiful shape.
Poplar Creek
Course plays well. Greens are slow but at least we can play at this time of year. At this price in chicago area it was a steal
extra day in december
Wonderful day when you can play in December. The only thing was they closed a couple of greens and didn't tell us. But staff was great and very friendly , pace was good . Will come back!
Beautiful course
Picked a perfect day and got paired with a very nice couple. Course condition was very good, they just opened the 10th green. They have some carries over water that are tough for most women and beginners. Overall a very nice experience. We'll go back
Nice course
The course was in good condition except for two of the greens (10 & 1). The course is challanging but fair.
Great Course
Great place to play a round of golf. Just need to fix a couple greens other then that no complaints . Can't wait to play here again

Holiday golf
Normally a round of golf on a holiday can be slow but we were 3 min over pace according to GPS. Paired with 2 guys of equal skills as ours and ready golf was the rules. Will play there again if have the chance.
Hello 22daggett,
Thank you for your review of the Bridges of Poplar Creek! We are glad you spent the holiday with us and were able to play with some nice folks! Looking forward to seeing you out here again!

Great layout and scenery.
I have played this course several times and love having it my rotation of regular courses. I enjoy the variety of hole lengths challenging you to choose driver or irons off the tee. I was disappointed in the condition of the 1st and 10th hole greens which were very poor and directly affected my score. Hopefully theses are fixed but I would still return and recommend it to someone who has not played there.

Thanks,

MANY BRIDGES
I would paly this course again under dryer conditions, the fairways were soaked from all the rain we have been blessed with, considering this, the course was in a good condition.
RBSC,
Thank you for playing at the Bridges of Poplar Creek! It has been a very diverse weather year for golf! One of the main focuses of our renovation in 2011 was drainage, so we are glad you found the course to be in good condition after heavy rainfall. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Nice course
First time playing,I was pleasantly surprised.A lot of tricky,shorter par 4's.
uFCTK2703FC,

Nice public course - good condition & great value
All in all the course is in very good shape. A couple greens are suffering from some early season diseases/problems, but aside from that it's in great shape for a good round of golf. Especially for a public course.
Offers a variety of tee boxes, which makes this course a good challenge for all types of golfers from your weekend hackers to your experienced regulars.
As for greens fees - given the nice facilities (nice practice range area), GPS carts, and good course conditions - they offer a great price for 18 holes of golf.

Good.
Course is maintained well including green speed also.
Bridges of Popular Creek
The course overall is in good condition. The 10th green is very poor but all others are good. The tee boxes could be leveled off somewhat but otherwise I would recommend the course to anyone.
Great Condition and Layout
Fast, healthy, and undulating greens with the exception of number 10 (I believe) which was still very playable but had some condition issues. Only a par 70, but that's not an issue for me. Some of the par 4s were a little short from the Gold tees, but then there is plenty of water in play on a lot of holes which makes up for the length. Dawn makes a mean Manhattan.
