Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
simple course
This cousre is a lot better since the renovations but still just comes across as plain old course.
Course is not long. 6100 yrds from the black/gold combination.
You will use different clubs off many of the tees which is nice. Greens in great shape and have many undulations.
Poor service, slow play, and terrible range conditions hamper this nice layout
The layout of the course is challenging and provides a test for golfers of all skill levels, but I was really disappointed with the overall experience at the Bridges of Poplar Creek. The staff was the definition of dismissive, offering very little insight into the layout, or conditions, and seemed indifferent to my questions. The pace of play - even for a Sunday - was incredibly slow, with nary a ranger is sight. And the range may be the worst conditioned I've ever practiced on - there was virtually no grass at all, anywhere, only sand. Sadly, because, again, the layout is nice, I won't be returning.
Great manicured course for the decent ball striker
Got an afternoon round on sale for $30 - incredible value for the course you will play. Well manicured and taken care of. Lots of 360-380 yd par 4's so you will hit a lot of 3 woods bc of hazards running across fairways - like I said - makes you play a disciplined round with good ball striking. We got rained out after 11 holes but they gave us half our money back as a credit toward a future round there...would definitely play again.

Excellent course for the price!
This course was in great condition, greens were challenging. Your approach shot is key here due to difficult contoures of many greens. It's not a long course so it makes club selection on the tee box crucial.
5 Hours and 15 min round!
Tuesday afternoon round that took over 5 hours. The ranger kept telling us there was an outing ahead of us which is why it was slow! More than a few times I noticed 2 full holes open in front of the outing and the ranger did nothing to move the people along.
An outing is not an excuse to not maintain pace of play!
I would play it again for sure.
Tees, fairways, and greens were in good shape. The GPS on the cart was great. The fairways were well marked as well. I would come back to play again. It is nice to have such a well maintained course close to home.
Upgrades over recent years are great. - but- !
Very slow play. No ranger at all on back nine while two groups in front formed a 6 some. They drank and argued over every shot causing major delays to all players behind them. This ruined the day for our foursome. The ranger was not found on the course until the 18th fairway and when confronted made an excuse that the entire course was slow. That 6 some had fallen 4 holes behind the group in front of them. When we challenged his analysis, he immediately drove away. The pro shop was closed when we finally got in so I went back the next day to advise the pro shop and they did offer a free round of play as compensation.
great course for weekly players
lots of up and down and waters for challengers.....
Tricky Course
Short, good condition, greens smallish and fast, you do not want to be above the hole. Lots of unrepaired divots in the fairway landing areas.
The course and GPS are great
The greens and fairways are in great condison. The price was a little better last year.
