Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club

The pro shop was friendly and helpful, the other staff were the same. The course was narrow and a little challenging, but the condition of the course was perfect (especially when compared to some other courses that haven't handled the recent rain well).

Maintained very well - only issues were a few tee boxes were sandy, and some greens pockmarked. Very short - tips are only 6500. Played gold, which was ~6000, and almost drove a few greens.

Greens were slick, pins were hard-yet-manageable, fairways fairly clear of divots, and bunkers were soft.

Overall, I'd go back, if I could get the same (or better) deal.

It is a short course but still a fun place that truly makes you think about what club you should hit and where. The GPS carts are phenomenal and are a great help. It also allows you to keep score easily and gives you advice on how to play that hole. The course is maintained superbly and is in great condition. I highly suggest you consider playing this course.

Played this course several times and its well worth the money paid. Challenging put open so when your drive goes off line you can still reach the green without hurting your score. New addition this year was GPS carts. Accurate and when approaching the Bridges it slows you down.

We played on a Friday afternoon and the pace of play was excruciatingly SLOW. Clearly, there were too many golfers on the course and we waited to hit on every tee box and on every approach. There were rangers on the course, however they didn't appear to be especially interested in moving things along. On two par 3's there were a couple of foursomes waiting as a group teed off. Also, there were golf balls flying everywhere to the point where we were concerned for our safety. All in all, not a very enjoyable experience.

As for the course, this was my first (and last) visit to Poplar Creek since the renovations. The course IS much nicer, and I was impressed with the way the greens were rolling. There are still too many blind or semi-blind shots for my taste and there are a couple of holes that are just bad golf holes. It's a challenging course, and not really a good course for beginners or hackers, but that's what the comparably low cost to play attracts - which makes for a bad combo and what accounted for the 5-plus hour round of golf.

Course was in good shape.Pace of play was bad understandable for a holiday

This is such a nice course for the $30 I spent on GolfNow.com. I will definitely be going back to play again.

The course was in pristine condition despite rain the day before and the morning of. The fairways are beautiful and the greens fast and true. Also, the GPS on the carts was very helpful and accurate. The only complaint I have is that one of the rangers kept bothering us about pace of play even though the group behind was two holes back. For 50 dollars it would be hard to beat this course and I will definitely be back

Played on a weekday afternoon before league play. Was able to get around quick as being a single player I was waved through by the 4 foresomes encountered during the course of play. The course has plenty of trouble and it is what I would call a shot makers type of course. You need to have distance control of your irons to score well here.

The greens had quite a bit of tilt, and they rolled fast and true.

Overall an enjoyable experience.

Course was in good condition. Greens fast, a little hard. but overall course condition was very good.

From the practice range, to the touch screen GPS, to the course conditions. This course was a blast. The touch screen GPS would help you plan out your shots for each hole, as well as order food, and get the cart girl.

Great Experience!

Bridges is a go-to course for anyone looking for a challenge and a chance to score at the same time. Only the recently aerated greens kept this facility from a 'pristine' condition rating. As usual the staff was friendly, and the starter quite accommodating, as he found a way to fit me and another single on our way on time. The Hoffman Estates Park District
made many changes a few years ago that have proved effective and visually appealing. The one thing they should have preserved: front and back nines.

Course was In good shape, not too much rough and large greens helped to avoid the sand traps.

The Course was great, I had to stay on the cart path only due to the weather conditions the night before, I will be back to play this course again.

This is a nice course that is in good shape even though it gets a lot of play. Fairways are in good shape. Not too many bare spots in the rough. Good mix of difficulty.

The good , the course looks nice with bridges and decent fairways. The bad, tee boxes are very crowned , uneven, with poor maker placement. This course punishes average and big hitters with hazards in many landing zones. The ugly , the greens are so bad we had putts jumping 2 to 4 inches in the air all day. My partner is a single digit and I am a 12 handicap. Between us we only holed 3 putts longer than 8 feet . There are better courses within 10 minutes drive , save yourself the aggravation .

The course and the surrounding are well maintain. The staff are really friendly. I enjoy playing here.

The rangers did nothing to help speed up play and we talked to them twice. 5 and a half hour round, not fun

Starter was super friendly and knowledgable. we got started 20 mins late and said it would take 4 1/2 hours to play. A couple holes had 2-3 groups backed up on them. THe rangers were good about getting the groups to waive up the next group on the par 3's but it still took 5+ hours to play.

Well maintained course. Large greens. Played on Sunday, that one reason it took a little longer. But worth it.
