Construction

That back side has a lot of construction going on. Dust and noise for sure. We are guessing homes are going to be going in the back side. No mention of it what so ever. Greens were aerated and there was no notification of that either.

Good course

Overall the course was great. The only issues I had were that none of the tee boxes had their markers set up, the greens had already been aerated, housing addition being built on back 9 so a ton of construction. In terms of course condition and amount of fun to play it was great. Charged 5 bucks for a cold meat sandwich at the grill house.

Great play

Bridgewater is a great course that is challenging but when you keep it straight and in the fairway you can score. I really like playing the par 5 tenth that is a long 3 plus shot hole to get a good opportunity.

Better than expected

I have played a couple hundred course across the USA. Bridgewater provides fair challenges for all skill levels. Greens were firm but receptive. Any houses near course were far enough that they were not an issue. Lot of ponds, streams and covered bridges. Enjoyed the uniqueness. Didn't have a chance to stop at the grill but the enclosed veranda looked inviting. Go play!

Great course

Awesome course. Interesting layout, great use of the land. Tough but there are opportunities. Staff and facilities are top notch. Can't beat it for the price. I live 40 minutes away, and play it 5+ times a year. Really enjoy it.

Bridgewater East

FYI, You still list the Bridgewater West course, which was closed a couple of years ago. The East course was in adequate conditions. The month of June smash the historical rain fall level and the course was still quite playable.

Poor staff and course

I started my day at this golf course by being ignored by head professional Ivan Foster as he sat in his office waiting for assistant pro Kerry Baumgartner to come check me in. He was short with me as I asked about the course and where the first tee was. They both acted as if they had better things to do than answer my questions or acknowledge me. But as for the course, it has far too much water with it coming into play on 16 holes. This course is pointless for a weekend player to play as they would lose far too many balls. The 1, 10, and 18 holes are far too hard for the course. I would not advise anyone to go to this course unless you can pretend to be a snobby golf pro to fit in with the employees or you're a tour pro who hits the ball perfectly. I would easily advise you to visit courses such as Noble Hawk, Cobblestone, Coyote Creek, or even Garrett if you're just out to have a good time.

GREAT COURSE!!!

This is a great course, keep an eye for the Hot Deals. I managed to get on for $12! The tee boxes were immaculate, and the greens were in great shape. It has some long holes, but nothing out of hand. Tipped out this course plays hard, take the 2nd tees the first time through as this course can leave you with some tough angles in. Make sure to keep an eye on the pro tips on the yardage cards on the cart. It will keep you out of trouble on some tight holes giving you an easy 9i in.

Quiet course

Greens had just been aerated. Would have been nice to know because we would have picked another course. However, only had 32 putts for 18 holes, so I guess it didn't hurt my game too much.

This course was excellent

It was easy to find. The pace of play was great. The facilities were top notch. Most of all, no matter how skilled a golfer you are, this course is set up to be challenging but fair and fun. I look forward to playing here again.

Nothing to complain about except the course isn't marked very well for yardages and how to get to the back 9. Excellent service, course, and deal!

Could use a little more wind!

Course was in great shape. They were actually putting in new sand and redoing some of the sand traps while we were there. There was a constant 15- 20 mph wind while we were playing, that made the course very challenging. The course has a nice layout. There are 5 different tee boxes to challenge all golfers skill levels.
