The Traditions Course

The back 9 I play d the Traditions course. The fairways were in awful shape. Most of the fairways were dried out with no grass. As such, I was hitting off hard dirt.

The greens were in great shape and were super fast.

The Champions course was in pretty good shape, but way to many ball marks that weren’t repaired!

From Perfect to Meh in 5 Weeks

Played 6/23/22 and everything was absolutely perfect. Bent grass greens on Champions were smooth even as they got slightly slower due to the heat. Back nine Traditions was great. Only 5 weeks went by and the bent grass greens have gotten really bad and the Traditions fairways have majorly dried out and died out, even though the new greens are firm and pretty good. Crazy what 5 weeks of major heat has done to Bridges this year

No more Bent grass Greens!

Super disappointed that the bridges is doing away with their Bent Grass Greens. It was the only public course that had them and made it very unique. The greens will now be like every other course in DFW, hard as a rock and unforgiving.

Masters course greens completely dead

The Champions course was in great shape with excellent bent grass greens. We played the Masters course for the second 9 and the greens have been chemically killed. The entire greens are dead, starting to crack open, and you might as well be putting on concrete. Very disappointing second 9 after a great front 9 experience. The Masters 9 should not be open to golfers.

Will play again!

Great layout. Has a bit of everything, and it's in great shape. I guess my only "knock" would be the mandatory doubling up on the carts. I get it, just wish you could solo if you wanted.

Challenging course.

Has a nice layout, and is fun, but definitely one of the more challenging courses for a beginner. First time playing, so not knowing the course hurt me, lot of blind hills. Carts were a little touchy, refused to move, but pulling the gas pedal up reset it.

Afternoon Tee Off

Greens are in good shape on Champions & Masters course. Well kept for a course that gets a lot of traffic. Water is available, too. Watch out for the Golf Carts. Mine broke down but I got it running. iPhone charger didn’t work.

Love the Champions 9. The Masters 9 was brutal in the heavy winds.
