Blackberry Oaks in Bristol is a public golf course that has been recognized as one of the Chicagoland area's best courses. The course design utilizes the natural beauty and hazards of the landscape including the native wetlands, grassy prairies, and towering stands of mature oaks. Blackberry Creek also meanders through the course. In addition to the natural hazards, a heavy smattering of strategically placed bunkers was also incorporated into the design. Although it can seem intimidating, the golf course isn't overly formidable if you can manage to stay out of the sand and water. The third and 12th holes are two par 4s that are memorable for their water hazards. The third has a lake along either side and the 12th has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water.

Good layout/needs work

Nice layout with several challenging holes, greens and fairways in good condition. Rough was so deep that balls disappeared. Sand traps unplayable as they're full of small club destroying stones. Would be 4* course with cutting the rough and putting sand in the bunkers

Fun track

Greens in great shape, good layout and nice clubhouse. The only thing missing was sand in the traps, very gravelly and packed hard.
