Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club
About
Formerly known as Poplar Creek Country Club, the club was transformed into the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club in 2011. Besides just the name change, the design itself was dramatically reinvented. Fifteen holes were completely redesigned but the golf course's most memorable holes were left untouched. Bunkers and fairways were reconfigured and fescue was planted to provide more depth and definition. To make the course even more challenging, new lakes were also added. The golf course is definitely a shot maker's layout that rewards accuracy and thoughtful strategizing. The final three holes are considered by many locals to be the toughest finishing trio in all of Illinois. It begins with an uphill par 4, followed by the longest par-3 and par-4 holes respectively. The Bridges of Poplar Creek C.C. offers a round that will challenge even the most avid golfers.

Always a great place to play
Always a great place to play!
Great conditions and staff.
Pace of Play
There needed to be a ranger pushing people along… There was a twosome, husband/wife, that were slow as molasses… He was hitting from the tips and he needed to be up 1 or 2 tees… Now having a ranger could have helped with that issue…
Good to be back at Poplar.
It had been a few years since I had played Poplar Creek. I was very impressed with the course conditions and friendliness of the staff. Long par-3’s, which is good to see. I would definitely recommend the course.
The Land of Forced Carries
It's been several years since I last played Bridges of Poplar Creek. It's just as remembered with a few added bonuses! GPS carts, Top Tracer bays, and an improved drink selection. What hasn't changed is that Bridges continues to be a "target golf" course that requires precision off the tee and on approach shots to avoid the many water hazards decorating the course. I didn't play my best golf, but the experience still made for an enjoyable round.
Great Value!
This course is an awesome little gem with interesting layout and challenging holes. Water comes into play on most holes; greens were great and pace was awesome.
Nice course!!
Nice course, lots of water!! If you're having a bad day and say pulling everything bring extra balls 😁😁 Early morning weekday t time $40, graat value. I will play here again.
