As a "member" of this club, I've played it well over 100 times the last few years. The layout is as challenging as it gets with two very distinctly different nines. The front is a challenging, wooded course with it's share of trouble including out of bounds, tall oaks and some water. The back nine consists of tight fairways surrounded by significant water hazards on just about every hole, forcing you to play smart to keep the ball in play. "Grip it and rip it" is a game plan that will not work well here for most golfers. Play it conservative and you might score well at Seven Bridges. Although everyday greens fees are a bit steep here, I think it's definitely worth playing a few times per year. And locals can take advantage of various frequent play programs, making the price per round very competitive with other courses in the area.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
