The Bridges Golf Club — Attraction in San Ramon

This is a very good example of the business owner trying to get everything right, but, spoiled only by an out of touch staff of the place, unknowingly.

Played a round on 10/3/2018, was surprised by the aeration and sanding, as there were no warning nor notes when I book the reservation. Very nice pro shop staff. All and all good course to play.

This is a very nice piece of properly located in prime San Ramon location, where most of the residential housing are built. Very convenient, very nicely situated in the community. Pick your time tee properly and you won't have traffic problems, else, it will be a challenge. Starbucks and restaurants near by, or buy grocery on the way home, how good is that.

A Johnny Miller designed track will guarantee suffering or challenge depending on how much you like Johnny. It is scenic, although you see houses everywhere, it really takes a super bad errant shot to hit one.

The first hole immediately bring you down to earth what this course is about. A draw-er's course with narrow fairways, lined bunkers, elevation changes and undulated greens.

I didn't like the fact that they change the second hole from a PAR 5 to a long PAR 4. As a result, it has become a very strong hole to begin a round. You will feel beat up after that hole, if you didn't make a decent bogey.

The journey begin as you are convinced that all holes are as tough as the first 2, first 3, first 4, etc., etc.,

But, there are plenty of birdie holes, which without the prevailing wind, tricking you to think they seemed too easy, then, BANG, it hits you again and again, and you think you can drive the #10, but, you really can't, LOL... It is relentless. playing mind trick on you. Driver is not your friend on this course, as you suddenly realize, and I hope you realize sooner than later before you run out of holes.

The #16 which was the old #18 with 75 yard deep green make you think of Johnny again and again...The tempting #18, even the number shows you can...

A lighted, separate and dedicated practice facility belong to this course. A rarety.

An almost good day, ruined by the Director of Golf, Dan Osterberg at the practice facility after the round. My partner and I went to the practice facility after the round, bought a bucket of balls, discussing some of the shots we have played about each other's swing and tips on the course today. Mr. Dan Osterberg, interrupt our discussion and ask me aside and wanted to "talk" with me. He said he had seen me on their video camera numerous times giving lessons to people on their practice facility. Obviously, he either mis-identity me for someone else (he won't give me the chance to explain), or basically very determined of pinpoint me doing something wrong (which I have no idea, maybe using the practice facility for "lesson" or "teaching"?), as there are plenty of people around me either giving tips to their practicing partners or friends all around the practice facility, I see many apprentices accompanied and receive instructions from either coaches or teachers or parents alike; but, single me out for no apparent reason to me. Ask me to leave the facility, without letting me explain that I do no such thing, even when I ask him to produce the video he had claimed he saw me doing such thing, which I have never done anything like it, nor am I "teaching" or giving "lesson" to anyone what-so-ever. He couldn't produce the said videos he claimed he had. But, still, ask me to leave the practice facility without good reason, IMHO. As I am puzzled by his action towards me. Either he thinks I am taking his business away? Which is ridiculous, or he simply doesn't like me? I don't even know what I did to deserve this unprofessional treatment. Very very odd! He asks me whether I am a PGA professional, and I told him no. And I told him that we are just talking about our swings during the round we had just played, and discussing tips to each other. I mean WOW!!! How insecure is this person?

I hope everyone is aware of this odd behavior in this practice facility. They have...

My fiancé and I came here this past weekend to check out this place as a possible wedding venue for us. The place is really beautiful—the building structure itself is beautiful, the garden terrace has a nice view of the hills with white rose bushes around the ceremony site, and the pavilion is very spacious with beautiful chandeliers up top and gorgeous windows.

But the Director of Catering Sales left a bad first impression on us.

My fiancé and I made an appointment at Bridges Golf Club to take a tour and hoping to get a price quote. During the tour with Sandy, we did not feel welcomed at all. When we had a question, not only would she respond very briefly, but the most common answer she would tell us was to “look at the packet.” Okay yeah, we skimmed a couple of pages before coming and already had a few questions in mind, but I at least expect one who’s worked there for 12 years to be helpful in answering our questions or to walk us through the packet (like other venues have done for us) than to keep directing us to look at it.

Sandy didn’t even do a sit down with us to tell us the dates they had available and give us a price quote then and there, but said she would email us that day (which she did about 30mins later after we left). Instead of making this a fun and enjoyable experience for us, we were at the site for 10mins, which made my fiancé and I feel like we were wasting Sandy’s time. Even though their price quote was around our budget, we decided to not go here if we had to deal with the poor customer service based on this visit.

Overall, the venue is really beautiful with a lot of spacing for your guests and very convenient if you’d like to have the ceremony and reception in one area. But if you are a couple that’s driving 40+ mins away from here who would like to scope the place, just be prepared to hear things like “just look in the packet” or “I’ll email you the availability times and then send a quote with whatever works for you” for...
