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.

Great winter golf
Played on a chilly 35°f day and had a great time. Pretty and moderately challenging layout. Greens were good considering the weather conditions.
End of season
It's end of season and course shows it. Greens were not as fast as normal, but tees and fairways were fine but showing wear. This is always a fun course and enjoyed round. Bar was open with still good selection, food selection limited.as can be expected at this time of year.
Nice course
Fast greens, water on some holes, some tight fairways some wide open. Nice design, decent sand (not many rocks) not overly long by any means but offers challenges with 4 tee box’s to choose from.
Amenities include a driving range and a very friendly staff.
