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.

Challenging Course

Fist time we played the course. It’s a challenge, a lot of water and wild areas. The fairways are in great condition as are the greens. I will definitely play there again

Very good course to play. But on this day I could not finish 18 holes too hot. (100%).

I love playing this golf course. It is always taken care of. Greens are pristine.

If you do end up in the sand, I’ve been to $12 par threes that were in better shape

Great Course

Great course - maybe getting towards the end of the year the tee-boxes could use some repair. Course in great shape, some greens need divot repair making some putts bounce a bit....

A good day to play

My son and I are average golfers. We had a wonderful time and there was no pressure to play from other golfers. The course was very challenging for us; however, most places it was easy to find our ball if we went wide (except the water). Loved the electric carts with GPS - very helpful. The course is well maintained and we loved our time there.
