Bristol Oaks Golf Club and Banquet Center

The day was beautiful. The course was in good shape but after playing 4 holes we were waiting on every tee. The wait was more than 10 minutes on a good share of the holes and often times two groups waiting. There was no rangers on the course to make sure the players were moving at a good rate. It could have been very nice if we could have moved a little better. 2 hours and 40 minutes on the back nine.

Nice course and nice staff, was very muggy and hot so they were giving out a free gatorade with our rounds. Greens were a little shaggy but probably due to the hot week of weather.

play with my wife so course isgood for her learning how to play ,we enjoy playing tigetherit was a nice day and of play was great [this time ] has been slow in the past, fairways pretty burned up, green's ok roll true

I have played this course hundreds of times over the past 10 years and right now it is a complete joke of what it once was. Last time I played was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and I am baffled at no starter at the first tee box. People just show up and get in a long line of carts regardless of their tee time. Another ongoing problem from last year is the rough isn't cut at all or at least not very often. We used to play a 4 or 5 sum every Sunday and finished in 3.5 hours or less, not any more. We look for balls on every hole that end up in the rough (right next to the fairways) add that up on every hole and your rounds now take 4.5 to 5 hours for no good reason. CUT THE ROUGH! Another ridiculous problem is the pin placements. On Sunday there were 14 of the 18 pins tucked away on the corners of the greens less than 10 feet from the edge of the green and most of them on hills. This is not a championship golf course there are mostly 15- 25 handicappers out there and it is NOT fun trying to chip to these pins and of course all the 3 putts.....AGAIN adding to the total time of the round. ONCE A NICE friendly sporty course has turned into a joke.....just be aware when you book your tee times that you will be looking for balls all day and shaking your head at every pin placement. The pin placement problem isn't a 1 day thing, it has been going on since last year! It just doesn't make sense for these problems to keep re-occurring. It was a Holiday weekend and after 9 holes we went to get drinks and the bar tender was no where to be found...and no cart girl until after 11 that day! No FUN!

Great location, great bargain. Challenging enough so check for times often throughout the season

The course layout is fairly easy, but still has its challenges. Some of the par 4's are short, so I would suggest playing the longest tees. I played the whites, and drove the green or near to it on a couple of those holes. One par 4 was only 289 from the whites (the whites play second longest), and I drove the front of the green. It is a good course, and great for the value. I will definitely go to this course again.

Loved the golf/all you can eat fish fry Friday. We wanted to try our friends bar "Silver Lake Marina" (Salem, WI) Friday all you can eat Fish Fry so we found a golf course, Bristol Oaks close by. What a great day! Golf was great, fish was great, service was great! Recomend for all golf, fish and beer lovers!

Bought tee time at golf now 18 holes with cart. When we got to the course they said that they aren't allowing carts anymore so we ended up walking only nine holes. Totally disappointed that they didn't update their no cart policy with golfnow we could have played at another course that still allowed carts, waisted weekend plans!!

Tried the special from Golfnow.com, was impressed as to how easy it was to utilize coupon and the price was fantastic.
Will check Golfnow.com when I am going to play as a single since many of the really great deals are on the day I am looking to play(spur of the moment).

The Good: Inexpensive, tree-lined layout about 30 minutes southwest of Milwaukee is no upscale facility and not pretending to be. Some interesting holes, in particular some good Par 3's, as well as some good reachable Par 4 and Par 5's that provide opportunities for birdies. Greens hold iron shots pretty well. Decent clubhouse with banquet area. Fair value at under $50 during peak season; usually has many online deals for much cheaper. No houses!

The Bad: Conditions at Bristol Oaks are not good. The fairways are shaggy and inconsistent, while the greens are relatively slow and bumpy. Not much variety in the Par 4's, particularly on the front half. Limited on and off-course amenities as there are no GPS, restroom areas, and full cart paths throughout the layout. Limited practice facility with only fair driving range and small putting green. No short game practice area. Staff is nice enough, but no real emphasis for on-course service.

The Verdict: At the right price, Bristol Oaks can be an enjoyable golf experience if you don't have high expectations. Otherwise, if you want to pay nearly $50 to play golf near Milwaukee, play somewhere else.

Best Hole: The Par 3's are good, but the best hole is the dogleg left Par 5 #16. A well placed drive over trees can set up an approach to go for the green in two.

This course is probably the best bang for your buck. Well cared for and great practice facility at a great price.Would recommend to anyone.

The course was in good shape but a few of the greens let it down. The grass could have been a little better. Other then that, I had a great time!

Pleasant people, price and pace. will do it again. That's all the words I have, just filling space to reach your minimum.

Had a fun time with my son and 12 yr old nephew. As a senior it was all I could handle but really enjoyed myself. I've played this course before and always try to get out when I come to Racine each summer from out of state.

Nice course. Rough was nice and tall, fairways were nicley kept and the greens were challenging.

The greens were hard and punishing good shots to the green. The tee boxes were dry. No water in the fairways either. The fees are high, spend some money to water. Pace of play was slow and the ranger didn't help. Very disappointed.

I'm 66years old and this is the kind of facility I grew up on . Large practice area,large clubhouse where you could hold large events. A real men's and ladies locker rooms with all the amenitys.

Not a fan of so many greens on a plateau..If you miss the green you are chipping uphill from nasty thick club grabbing rough. Greens were smooth but sloped and most holes were cut on top of a hump. Driving range has normal grass instead of tee box grass. Weather was very hot and could not hold the greens with my Titleist soft balls..

First time there...staff was so friendly. Marshall provided assistance with layout of course. Very good condition overall.

course was in very poor/un kept condition, the ruff is a foot tall grass right off fairways, tee boxes too plush and tall grass patches, fairways needed serious mowing, sand traps are rock hard. very disappointed over all. Unless you want to spend 5 minutes looking for a drive that rolls 1 foot off the fairway, go else where. Serous maintenance and upkeep issues.
