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.

Perfect day for golf
During this time of the year, most courses had aerated their greens and putting thru rough terrains is usually the case. This course's greens are in excellent conditions and true green rolling about 10.5 stem meter.
Pace
Round started off great no stopping until the 14th hole then it was all downhill following a 12 some of Asians. We got backed up every hole for 10 minutes per hole until 18, so we decided to play 10-18 again and finished in less than 90 minutes. Course management is terrible everywhere when it comes to Slow play and they do nothing about it since you already payed and they definitely are not kicking any Asians off the course.
wow
price and course condition everything prepect!
I want visit again with my friend.
Enjoyable round
Have not played here in many years. The course has been well maintained with a number of upgrades. The day we played the greens were aerated. Enjoyable round with a group of fine players. Pace of play was 4 hours. A nice practice area; short game area, grass tees, matts and covered hitting bays with track man. I would say this a challenging layout, smallish greens with water fronting a number of greens. Nice facility, would play again.
Excellent Course
Staff was very friendly and very accommodating. This was a very challenging but excellent golf course. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it and played my best round in a long time on this course. The gps was very accurate and really helped me manage my way through the course
Very nice! Well maintained but ...
Cart person only has cans and can't mix any drinks... She was gone early too. The lady at the bar/grill wasn't the friendliest either... Wouldn't give me a large cup with water, only an 8oz cup... Said she wasn't allowed..... Of course I bought drinks and tipped her accordingly. Othe than that, the gentleman that checked us in was very friendly, polite and professional. Will be back for more, maybe I'll bring my own drinks and water.... Beautiful course. Well maintained.
Need GPS fixed
Multiple issues during the day with the GPS cart restrictions. At least 6 times, the cart stopped while driving on the cart path. On the 18th tee, it was so bad, multiple carts had to drive over 100 yards in reverse to get the cart to move at all.
First play. Solid course but 5 hour round…
7 hcp. Course is in good shape - I was impressed by the greens. Fun layout with creeks and fescue making for good challenge. Nice carts with GPS. Range is chewed up, large bucket is $12. Beware they won’t refund you for a range bucket that you didn’t even ask for… PoP was awful for a Sunday morning - 5 hours. I’ll be back but I’ll be looking for the first tee time of the day
