Pace of play
The pace of play was really slow but that may be due to course difficulty.
Gem
great course, especially for the money.
A tale of two nines
The course is pretty, and challenging. The front nine is very different than the back nine; almost be prepared to change your entire game and strategy at the turn.
Rainy but nice
It rained today offered a rain check but let us play. Great track will come back. Food and drinks are great as wel
Apologies for the weather inconvenience.. We can't wait to have you back for great food and great golf!
Twelve Bridges - Pricey
Always telling it like it is -
Due to overpricing (and still way overpriced) I've not bothered to play 12 Bridges for at least a decade and a half (you cross 12 bridges during your round not 7)...I live just 10 minutes away. A convenient venue but confounding bad (and good) for what you get for their standard green fee. $56 dollar hot deal for me and playing partner was acceptable....any more than that pushes me away and I'll gladly go elsewhere for better value....no senior rate during the week - $80 weekdays and $90 Friday-Sun...not going to apologize but that's just really pushing the envelope....a price point where you expect more. It also explains why the course wasn't all that crowded. We got around in under 4 hours but we did our fair share of waiting on the back nine.
History lesson for many of you -
Half of the current site was part of Woodridge Golf Club which was 36 holes back in the day...it closed in the mid-80's and then was redeveloped into 18 holes you play today. The front nine is essentially a reverse routing of one of those original nines. One of the main reasons I have not bothered to play here in a while - after the new course opened in 1991... about 5 or 6 years later they switched the nines so you teed off on 10th hole. The course became a ridiculous start of golf with crowned fairways for 3 holes with water everywhere and no place to even warm up. Thankfully a few years ago they switched the nines back to the original routing.
Staff is extremely nice and welcoming. Use the bag drop or just put on your shoes/drag your clubs from your car after parking. Same deal post round...no carts in the parking lot for good reason.....it's rather small lot with tight turns and some hill to it. The cart staging areas is cramped and unless you go into the clubhouse front door you a have to navigate a number of stairs to reach the pro shop. Nice functional well maintained clubhouse for receptions/weddings and also have decent locker room w/showers off the men's room.
The open air outdoor bar and restaurant are both wonderful when the weather is nice.. A hidden secret in the area - on clear days a post round cocktail with a beautiful sunset over the golf course if you finish late afternoon. I saw several non golfers turning up when I was leaving around 5pm getting a sunset drink & nibblies..
Large practice green representative of the course conditions and slope. A netted hitting bay to warm up on the way to the first tee. The cart paths are all in dire need of resurfacing or renovation.
GPS on the cart - very accurate and assists with an exact distance to flag stick.....several greens on this course can be 2 or 3 clubs difference - they are quite deep/large sizes. It's an "extreme" cart GPS that also won't allow you to drive everywhere willy nilly - several holes our cart speed was slowed to a frustrating level for no reason at all. NO SAND JUGS on the cart. I guess they want their ground crew filling in fairway divots. Most sand traps were in fairly decent shape. Greens rolling decently with good speed except pockmarked with old brown ball marks not correctly repaired (a lost art it seems). Being above the hole required a deft putting touch.
With the lack of rain this season there's over watering going on. The back nine is filled in swamp that is part of the East Branch of the DuPage River. Getting off the fairway or not hitting the green is a real penalty.....roughs and many surrounds are rock hard.
The course itself seems to have turned into a claustrophobic mess due to tree and bush growth. Especially on the back nine where the last 6 holes feel shoehorned into an area. A very watery over manufactured back nine. Front nine not as much but several holes on the 1st nine feature trees that will get in the line of play without a few rounds under your belt - Par 5 1st hole has a very small area to place your second shot correctly, 4th hole requires a drive to extreme left part of fairway and 5th hole dogleg right has a small landing area....8th hole is way overgrown on both sides now to the point where the group following us hit into us by accident. Also be careful driving up to reach the 17th green....the GPS forces you to take a cart path directly into a slicing line of fire from the 18th tee box. Pace of play slows considerably on the back nine.....due to it's difficulty....makes it real easy lose a sleeve plus of balls.
Recommend play however overall Twelve Bridges is just 3.3 stars - course design/cost bring my rating down considerably. Too many shots have to be shoehorned to be rewarded and I had some real fortunate breaks to play well this day. A venue that I wouldn't mind playing more than once a season.....but it's just not a $80 or $90 venue.
Dear Seven Bridges I was unable to find any specific posted rack rates on your website nor the specific senior rates you mention. You select rate on the drop down from the golf tab. - this rack link takes you directly to your make a tee-time page..... What tee times are available at the senior rate - All M thru F times or are there also time restrictions during the week? What age qualifies. 55/60/62?? Perhaps consider sharing a link here to get to your posted rates with the specifics? Thanks.
Thank you for your detailed review of our course. We do actually have in-season senior rates that are posted at $50 to walk and $60 to ride (very close to that ideal hot deal you mentioned) so we hope to see you again soon this season and beyond. We will take all of your notes, positive and negative, into account. We are always looking to continually improve our course, so we hope you make the convenient drive over to us for another great round. Enjoy!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Seven Bridges Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Nice challenging course.
Lots of water and challenging. Greens were not in the best shape but otherwise in good condition.
A must play
I will be back often in the fall. It was a bit hot today. Great layout and a challenging course. Easily the most comfortable cart I have ever ridden on.
Challenging beautiful course
Front nine is such a beautiful course with large trees wide fairways and great elevation. The back nine is highly protected by water and have some challenging holes. Each hole has a unique name to it. Watch out for hole 12 the serpent. Can't wait to come and play again. Has GPS and great golf carts with USB ports. Had a great time. Starter was nice to give us a history lesson of the course and a little background about the course as well and the amenities.
Poor layout, fair condition
Very strict about pace of play. However, the courses poor layout becomes obvious as soon as you reach the parking lot. Walk uphill to get to clubhouse and everything is crammed in. Carts are all parked on top of each other and your fighting a hedge just to get your bag in. They have a cart valet to try covering up this poor design but it doesn’t get better on the course. Tee boxes are far apart and it’s a maze getting from one hole to the next. Cart paths are poorly laid out and fairways are had to access.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes.
Your feedback helps us do better. Thank you for visiting and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Great Course
This is truly one of the great courses in the suburbs. Very challenging and the course is always in perfect condition.
It is pricey so it is a once in a summer treat for me
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Seven Bridges Golf Club.
Very very slow pace!!!! We skipped 2 holes and still finished 4 1/2 hours
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
