So many great changes

I have been golfing at springwood for quite a long time. At the end of the springwood era it was awful. The bunkers were unplayable and heritage hills did not take care of the course. Once Bridgewater came in they made sure the course was in perfect shape before they opened. All the bunkers have perfect white sand and all of the holes are very well taken care of. The staff is friendly and Dan Baker the PGA pro is great for lessons. It is also very female golfer friendly which is very important to me. Inside the golf shop there is a full swing simulator that can be rented out any time of the year with over 30 golf courses and a driving range. It is the top of line in simulators. I cannot wait to practice on the simulator. Overall they have made great changes and they are still making more. I look forward to golfing at this course many more times.

Much improved from the old Springwood

Sooo much better than Springwood. The new course kept 8 holes from the old course. 5 from the back and 3 from the front. The new hole is very nice. A nice challenge even though it only 140yards out. Front green water and bunkers with a lot of elevation. Good yardage for high handicappers, test all your clubs. About 5600yards from the blues and 5200 from the whites.

The bunkers are superb now, fluffy white sand! Hit like pros on TV out of them, puff of sand and see the ball roll on the green.

The pro Daniel was friendly and gave tips on playing the holes and also has lessons there and a indoor bay. They bay is wide and you won’t feel closed in with driver shots.

I played after a bout of heavy rain so some holes where cart part only.

My downside really is that as off now they don’t have a liquor license so no beer but that’s ok.

TL;DR: good short course, nice place for people working their iron game.

Great Golf Experience

This course has had major improvements while under New Ownership! Previously as Springwood, this course for years was not well maintained and in deteriorating shape. Now that Bridgewater has taken over and brought in Dan Baker, this course is great to play. Everything from the improved Tee Boxes, Sand Traps (with actual sand), and well maintained Greens, this course is fun, enjoyable, and challenging to play!

I love the concept of a 9 hole course that can be played twice for 18 because I don't always have the time. There are 2 putting greens and a driving range to practice. Because of this I am able to play more often and have been able to get my son involved and excited about golf as well!

This course and golf experience will only get better, especially with White Rose Bar and Grill moving in!

Great improvements!

Played Bridgewater GC and we are so impressed with the improvements Dan Baker and his staff have done. What an awesome job bringing this course back to great shape. They also made it very women friendly by shortening some of the holes and building new tee boxes for us. The gold shop is one of a kind with a putting green and simulator inside the shop. The rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

Excellent Remodel

I played Springwood multiple times over the past several years and watched it go downhill fast as Heritage Hills failed to maintain it. I played the new Bridgewood for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I like the remodel of the holes into a 9 hole course. The holes are not long but can be challenging. he greens were extremely soft especially considering the weather. The new ownership is making improvements and it shows in a short time. the traps actually have sand in them!, and new tee boxes are being created. I like where the course is heading. This is an excellent course for a moderate golfer. I played from the blue tee's and it played great. #4 and #7 are beautiful holes. I look forward to the continued improvements and will definitely play again!

More like an Executive Course

Loved it as Springwood. No so much as Bridgewater. Plays more like an executive course. A couple good par 4's. A couple very short par 4's. Three nice par 3's. And one really bad par-5 ninth hole. Hopefully they are addressing this hole. Greens, fairways, rough and bunkers were in great condition. Wish I had waited and played just 9 holes in the evening instead of paying for 18 and playing it twice on a Sunday. Lots of forced carries over bunkers, water or junk. It would be tough to walk! I'd go back for 9 holes if they fix the ninth hole.

At least they trie

Course is very short, like 5000 yds short. Greens were very soft you could see where you walked and felt like walking on pillows, even tho we haven't had rain . Your approach shots leave a 2in divot with very little roll because it was so soft. it felt very crammed in a small space, a steep downhill par 4 less than 250yds? Felt gimmicky . Gotta give them credit , they are trying to get it together . Just not worth 28 dollars for 8 and a half holes.

have since visited 5 times and it has grown on me greatly. major convenience to play 9 holes quickly after work. While the greens are still soft not nearly as bad and it does and will take time to firm them up. The staff are fully committed to making this course a gem. I plan on returning many times in the future.

Redesign of Springwood

Having golfed at Springwood for several years, I was anxious to see the redesign when the 18 hole course was shortened to a 9 hole course and reopened as Bridgewater last month. Golf pro Dan Baker and his team have done a great job retaining several of the best holes from the former layout, creating an interesting layout, and eliminating some of the problematic issues plaguing Springwood. The tees are well marked. The bunkers have been repaired, drained, and filled with white sand. New sections of cart paths have been added for the new layout. I really enjoyed the transition of the old downhill par 4 hole #6 playing east to west to the signature par 3 hole #7 / #16 playing north to south demanding a forced carry over the pond and rock wall to a 2-tiered green. And we got to play it twice during the 18 hole round. Don’t let the 9-hole layout discourage you from playing the Bridgewater Golf Course. It’s a great par 34 layout with a variety of challenging holes on the hilly tract of land. And new updates to the pro shop are coming along too. It is much more accessible to the parking lot now than when it was formerly located below and at the back of the building. Two suggestions: (1) level the white tee box at hole #7, and (2) reconfigure the GPS coordinates for the new layout. I had to access “Springwood” and jump around to the former 18 holes to find the Bridgewater layout and get the distances. All in all, I am very pleased with the redesign. But I feel sorry for the residents on the ridge along Chestnut Hill Road who lost their longview across the golf course and gorgeous sunsets. Now they look down at rooftops. Great work, Dan and friends at Bridgewater! I’ll be back with golf buddies.

Nice Changes

Dan Baker and staff have done an amazing job at converting the old Springwood course into a course that is well maintained and enjoyable to play. The new cart paths, the new tee boxes, the sand in the traps, all lend to a challenging yet relaxing couple of hours of golf enjoyment. Looking forward to getting out again real soon.

My friend and I enjoy playing this course.

We are very impressed with the new layout and the conditions of the course. Generally we play 18 holes, so what we did this last outing was play the white tees on the front nine and then switched to the blue tees. It was very challenging that way. We especially liked hole # 7, what a beautiful site and a challenge it is hitting the green.

Interesting Makeover

We were greeted by Dan, Head PGA Professional, in the new and greatly improved Pro Shop. The Pro Shop now has a golf simulator, putting green and merchandise. Dan was very friendly and described the makeover from the former Springwood.
The new nine hole course kept some holes from the original 18 and a new par 3 was created over a pond. The bunkers are now clean white sand (with no rocks), all cart paths are paved, and the greens and course in general are in good shape.
The course is challenging and provides a nice alternative for someone who has limited time and wants to play nine holes. It is much improved from the former Springwood Course and it is obvious that much time, money and effort was put in to the renovation.
There are some new tee boxes on several holes and number 9 (formerly 18) is in process of being reworked. It is currently a bit awkward to play.
I expect that the course will only get better with time We are also excited that White Rose will be opening their restaurant in the former Bogeys in the fall. If it is as well operated with good food and beverages as their York City location, it will be a very welcome improvement.

some good some bad

course is 4 holes from former back nine and 3 holes from former front nine, 1 new hole and not sure what to call the finishing hole. It was #18 but has some added carry and obstacles. the sign to new tee box on #9 is confusing, pro shop did not advise us. hole is not playable except if you go to new tee box which is still under construction. Greens and fairways are good, bunkers have soft sand and no rocks. Still use variety of clubs from tees. Redesign will be fun to play when last hole is done.

Great turn around.

Course was re done and holes, just opened the doors, course is going to be good. So sad that previous owner let the course go. Nine hole course, hopefully the expand, we past by a few older holes, or maybe a future hole in the making. Almost every hole was up or down a hill. 9th could use a better lay up area. Hole was straight up hill, with narrow landing area 220-240 which seemed to be only play, because you’d have to a drive 380 to carry to next landing area up the hill. But what do I know....
