Bridges Golf Course
About
Bridges Golf Course is a municipal, 18-hole course that sits on the northeastern side of Madison, just south of the airport. It’s popular with locals since it’s both affordable and challenging. The layout starts out on low-lying wetlands and then on the back nine it climbs up a ridge along Anderson Avenue. For a championship golf course it’s not particularly long at 6,900 yards from the back tees, but golfers will still face several tricky holes. Players of all skill levels will enjoy Bridges Golf Course for its variety of risk-reward opportunities. It’s not terribly punishing though so beginners can approach it with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Bridges offers a practice facility that includes a driving range and two separate practice greens for chipping and putting.

Not bad for a good deal
The front 9 plays a little tougher than the back - for me, at least. If my driver isn't working, I don't enjoy playing here (that's my fault). There are some low-lying areas that can make for wet fairways, even when you don't expect it, so be warned. You're close to the airport, so if you like low flying planes (we do), it's kinda cool - especially when they scramble the jets.
The course is usually in decent shape. A couple holes backtrack around water, so you'll become familiar with those features.
The staff are nice, and I like the electric carts. I like other courses more, but for a good deal, I come here often.
Golf in February
The course was in February conditions, what do you expect. Overall if I’m golfing in February I’m happy no matter what. Becky checked me in and was super friendly and accommodating.
Very fun place to play golf
This is a fun course and you are right next to a airport who knows what you will see
Bridges GC review
Average length course near Madison airport. Nice layout, a little noisy due to air traffic.
Will play again.
Bartender
Bartender was the best! She provided beverages swiftly when starting the round. She provided lunch and was enthusiastic.
Rough shape
I’ve played this course many times. It was in the roughest shape I’ve ever seen it. I had been very dry, but….
Been a while
I’ve played this course many times. About the worst shape I’ve ever seen it. The greens were good tho.
Nice course great value!
Course was in great shape. With golfnow hot deal it was a great value. I especially liked that there were no restrictions on where carts could go on fairways. I'd definitely play it again.
Challenging Course
Bridges is a very challenging course due to the hazards on both sides of every hole. Greens are in excellent shape. Staff was very friendly and happy!
