Bristol Oaks Golf Club and Banquet Center is situated just 30 minute from the suburbs of both Milwaukee and Chicago. It is popular among locals for being one of the area's best values. Despite its convenient location, the course feels tranquilly secluded thanks to the miles of picturesque countryside surrounding it. Mature trees dot the rolling landscape, coming into play along the fairways and framing most of the holes. Water hazards come into play on four holes. Strategically placed bunkers are also lurking near most of the greens. The golf course is challenging but offers a playability that makes it appealing to a range of skill levels. Four diverse sets of tees make it even more approachable. There is also a lighted grass driving range and expansive chipping and putting areas available at Bristol Oaks Golf Club and Banquet Center.

Problem with the tee time

We booked our round for 154pm and were told by the ranger with 5 holes to go that we would have to ceded our spot for a shotgun start. They should not have allowed us to book the round if it would not be completed.

Will Play It Again

Was in the vicinity to pick up a camera and booked a round at Bristol Oaks. Course is a little difficult to find the first time, but is worth the effort. Rain had covered the area the previous two days and course was quite soft, but greens were moderate to fast. Not a lot of water in play, but plenty of bunkers to protect the greens. Will play there again when I'm in the area. Good value and course is in superior condition.

Great family oriented course..Nice place in the country

I played with my beginner golfer daughters and wife so the slow pace didn't bother us. It would have if I played with guy friends. Nice cart beverage service, halfway house and friendly club house. Nice bar but we couldn't stay. Okay practice tee. Nicely located short women's tees was a huge plus for us. The trees, rolling hills, and non home lined course was beautiful.
Great value hot deal but regular rate is a great value also.

Walked

had fun but was wet rained overnight no carts

Had to walk no cart paths here but it was ok good work out. A few hills but no big deal. A nice course will go back some time when it is better dry day. I had played it in the past but realized it when I started playing. It has some very nice holes and good to play.

Excellent

The course was in much better shape than I remember it over the last several years. Changing the course layout makes sense. It was very enjoyable, the weather was perfect and the foursome was great.
No food was available but it is still early in the year.
Plan on playing it again next week.

Great time

Wonderful time 18 holes played. We did wait on most of the holes but we weren't in a hurry and the weather was beautiful. Greens are tough but in good condition. Staff was friendly and met some great people while golfing.

Don't play on Sunday.

Great course. Don't play on Sunday. They actually have outings on Sunday morning. If you like 5 hour rounds, play on Sunday.

First time playing at Bristol

Overall condition was quite good. But a couple greens were in bad shape - bare spots, bumpy, etc.. Staff at the club house was pleasant and helpful. Can't say the same about the two people driving around the back nines seemingly monitoring the players. It was distracting.
