Previous posters are being a little unfair about the difficulty of this course. I understand what theyre saying. The bridges is definitely one of the most challenging courses in the bay area. But the challenge is about hitting straight tee shots to some narrow fairways,some holes are very long par 4's,some par 3's are very long from the back tees, typical Johnny Miller design. But the beauty of the canyon layout ,the manicured condition of maintainence, the relative lack of golfers on the course,makes this beautiful course look feel and play like a fine private course. For golfers who play well, and appreciate the shot value of scenic beauty alongside clever strategy...the Bridges (and Hiddenbrooke) are the 2 best public courses in the bay area. Yes, you may lose 9 golf balls....but guess what, march down into the woodsy gulches to find your ball and you'll definitely find a dozen others(think 7 pro v 1's and a couple top flites) I lose 5 balls and find 25. Super twilight rates are good.
