Don't expect an easy round, but do expect to use every club in your bag and think your way around the course.

Its namesake bridges are not just aesthetic; they're integral to the course's dramatic design, spanning deep ravines and connecting distinct playing areas. You'll experience breathtaking views from elevated tees and navigate holes where the bridges themselves become part of the strategy, particularly on the iconic 14th hole. It's a unique blend of natural beauty and architectural ingenuity.
When is the best time of year to play The Bridges Golf Club?
We highly recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons-spring (March-May) or fall (September-November)-when the weather is absolutely perfect for golf. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and the occasional chill of winter, ensuring the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. Plus, the course conditions are typically pristine during these times.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing The Bridges Golf Club for the first time?
Our best advice is to prioritize accuracy over distance, especially off the tee. Many holes feature tight landing areas and severe drop-offs, so a well-placed iron or hybrid can save you strokes and keep your ball in play. Trust your yardage book and don't be afraid to lay up when the risk outweighs the reward.
