Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Wait for tee off
For some reason they decided to let a 20 person group outing all tee off right at our scheduled tee time. We waited almost 40 minutes just to tee off.
Bridges of Popular Creek
Beautiful fun layout. Greens were rolling nicely. Only gripe with the greens is that they were fast. Major setup Fast LOL which will not turn me away from the course because of it’s beautiful layout
Business Consultant
Nice course for the money I paid. Pace was a little slow on this day. Would encourage others to play the course.
Very slow pace
We played at twilight and the pace of play is very slow. Nobody is around tracking the play. The fairway is nice but the rough is a little high that it takes time to find your ball. I lost a few of them in the rough.
I was play last fall. It’s soso
But I play yesterday. It’s totally different.
Very nice course.
on course amenity
This course has no drinking water tank even it was very hot and humidit day.
Becoming our go to track
Despite the rain the day before the course wasn't cart path only. Rough when in it was thick. Greens ran good and true.
Tees Need TLC
I've played this course several times but never saw the tees in such bad shape.
It is a difficult course for us seniors because you have to carry many water hazards with your approach shots. Bring lots of golf balls.
