Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club

Challenging and rewarding, just the type of course I enjoy!

great time, excellent condition. Friendly staff. very enjoyable day.

Course was in good shape although the greens had many ball marks that were not repaired. The ranger was visible but had no effect on the five hour round.
Just way too long for a round of golf. Keep your driver in the bag for many tee shots.

It is very pricey for what they offer, because their renovation and improvements a few years ago cost them a lot, I guess. It looks nice and good, but their mowing needs a lot to be desired. Their maintenance of the areas around the greens and some of the fairways have some issues, but overall is not bad. They have the nicest golf carts in the Chicago area, electric with a great GPS and Electronic Score Card. The fact still remains that they are TOO Pricey, perhaps because we don't have a lot of golf courses in this area. I'll give it a 3.5 to 3.75 primarily because of cost, otherwise they would be up there around 4.25 to 4.5

To me, the course always provides a good game. Some greens could use a little work, but most of the time, people make the course conditions bad by not repairing divots, raking the bunkers etc. The service is top notch, and I recommend this course for all skill levels.

pro shop not helpful at all. I thought I booked 4 thru golf now I only hit 3 golfers. I called pro shop the day before they said they would try to put us as a 4some when we got to the course pro shop said there was nothing they could do course was booked so one of my 4some left. then to my surprise rite behind us was a 3some

Course gets a lot of traffic, greens and tee boxes need lots of attention.
Greens were very bumpy and beat up (fix your ball marks people!!!) Tee boxes are very uneven hard to find level ground.

Otherwise fun course to play.

Course was in good shape, condition of course was 8/10
Pace of play was OK; took 4.5 for 18
Staff was great; GolfNow value price was also great
Course design is somewhat mundane at times; lotta unremarkable holes

Bridges is well appointed with a good short game practice area, driving range and practice green in addition to the fine course.

This course is in good shape. The rough is thick but fair. Greens are in good condition. Beware of the par 3's and the water around the course. I shot an 80, with 8 penalty shots (4 in the water.) Worth the price.

Let me start by saying that the club house and practice facilities are nice. The course is intriguing, it is short, but the well place water hazards make it longer. For me, I left the driver in the bag almost the entire day and hit iron because of the water placement. The problem is that there are no rangers to speak of (Sunday) and that we got a rain check after 9 because it took us 3:45 minutes to reach the fairway on 10. That is entirely too slow. They over booked evidently. Prepare to wait if you go. The greens are pretty rough as well. The rest of the course is nice. I think they were also letting people go off on the back who were only playing nine and that slowed everything up as well.

The course is very unique and surprisingly picturesque given its location.

Negatives:
- There is a lot of street noise. The course is basically surrounded by heavy traffic roads.
- Nearby water park creates some music and noise from children playing on quite a few holes
- Short par 4s.

Positives:
- The course is in nice shape. Greens roll true and the fairways a cut fairy tight making most fairway shots feel like you're getting a big advantage.
- The rough is consistent and moderately thick. Around the greens it is the same and provides moderate challenge when around the green.
- Plenty of bunkers, of which I found a few. They were fairly consistently sanded and the ball flew out nicely. Hard pack under maybe an inch or two of fluffy sand.
- Greens are really big, and mostly long front to back. This creates a challenge judging when to go for a flag and when to play safe to the middle.
- Lots of opportunities to lose balls in the water. They really make you think on the tee box. I hit 5-iron off of at least two tees and probably should have done so on a third when I drove the ball into the water. This is great as it challenges you in ways that most courses in the midwest seldom do. This is also a clever way to make the short par-4s play much longer.
- Many tee choices to allow for varying skill levels.

This round rates above others as I had my first hole in one on number 11. The course was in very good condition with thick rough which made it difficult. Greens were in very good condition.

Well manicured fairways and greens and has a very unique and challenging layout! Great price for this type of golf course! Bravo!

Teed off at 6 pm. The back nine had it's pins pulled well before sun down and I was kicked off the course on hole 13. I will never go back.

The layout of the course is fine, but unfortunately the course was not in good condition. The greens were filled with disease and the fairways had many bare spots, which is surprising considering the excellent growing weather we have had recently.

Shot one of my best scores, and it a great looking course from tee to green, but the greens were pretty slow - but disclaimer is that I played at 5pm so they'd been played on and growing all day.

The one draw back - there was a foursome playing from the wrong tees that jammed everyone up. They wouldn't take the hint and let anyone through even with us pulling up to them as they were hitting their second off the tees, Rangers needed to kick em in gear.

Greens great. Fairways had alot of water damage.
4.5 hours

I have played here several times. They maintain this course very well and green are in great condition (very fast) The course can be pretty challenging at time with water and traps every where, but thats a good thing. The 2 negative things i can say is they are known to put tee times too close together, this causes slow play. Also the greens are all pretty much next to the tee boxes. Bring your hard hat.

Greens and fairways were in good shape. Courteous staff makes all the difference.
