The Bridges | Bay Area Golf, Weddings & Receptions

$9 for a small bucket, 1/3 of balls are "broken". No rubber tees (BYORT?), Matt's are torn.

My husband and I just had our wedding at The Bridges this past Memorial Day weekend and were SO happy with the turnout! We originally booked our wedding for 5/28/21 but postponed to 5/28/22 because of COVID. We mainly worked with Sandy and she is super responsive and professional. I found The Bridges on "here comes the guide" when I was filtering for "all inclusive" wedding venues--meaning they come with food, drinks, tables, chairs, etc.

That already made wedding planning so much easier for me. The Bridges was also one of the more affordable venues we visited, which I sooo appreciate. We hired a different day-of coordinator, so they actually ran our ceremony rehearsal, but Emma from the Bridges was super friendly and professional also. She drove us around on the golfcart for all of our pictures, which was so nice!

About the venue itself--it is beautiful and doesn't need too many decorations! The ceremony site is already picture perfect with the rose bushes, and the reception room is huge, with tall ceilings and 3 iron chandeliers. We ended up using two of their preferred vendors: A Loves in Bloom (florals) & Fantasy Sound Events (chandelier & custom initial light)--we were so happy with both.

They are preferred vendors for a reason! We also got SO many compliments on the cocktail hour food and dinner entrees. One person told me "best wedding food i've had"! We had the prime rib and salmon as our entrees and both were excellent. Thank you to The Bridges, Sandy, Emma, + the whole special events team for making our day so perfect! I can honestly say nothing went wrong the whole day (or at least I don't know about it :D)!

Played this course for the first time this past weekend. Course was in good condition. Tough course requires target golf. Penalizing rough. Definitely a course you need to play a few times to learn the proper lines and landing spots off the tee.

We couldn't have asked for anything more with Bridges! We had one of our wedding events here and it was PERFECT! The staff was very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. They were patient with us through all the pandemic uncertainties and were always available to either hop on a call or meet in person to discuss anything. The space itself was gorgeous!

Not only did we have incredible views of the golf course for photos, but the ball room inside was also stunning with beautiful chandeliers and wood accents. The Bridges team made everything so easy for us and I would 10/10 recommend this venue to our family and friends! Thank you for making our wedding weekend so special and stress free!

Beautiful venue for marriage. Their prime rib was also very delicious (wedding menu). Overall, an excellent wedding venue with reasonable price point.

This course is very nice, overall, but I only gave 3 stars because the carts were in poor shape, the cart paths were broken up in many places and rough, and the restaurant wasn't open. Very challenging. players punished for less than a very good shot.

One of the nicest public course you can play in the area. Challenging for sure, be prepared to lose a box of balls until you learn how to play the course. Perfect greens and fairways. This place is next level.

Funny enough when I was in high school our junior prom was held at The Bridges Golf Club (TBGC) and now I can't believe our wedding reception was held here! Sandy and TBGC team were a dream to work with! They were always very responsive to all inquiries and the millions of questions I had during the wedding planning process. In the moment it may feel stressful meeting their somewhat strict deadlines but those deadlines are there for a purpose! Having those little details figured out earlier in the game definitely made the whole wedding process smoother.

Our guests raved about the beautiful venue and thoroughly enjoyed the food as well! The staff on the day of were very attentive to my husband and I and made sure we were comfortable with enough food, drinks, etc. Their event captain also helped us get the best pictures with our wedding party prior to the event starting. All in all a great experience and I am so happy we went with The Bridges for our reception venue!

Proshop: We showed up 30min before tee time, so we headed to driving range/putting green which is far from Proshop(not easy accessible) Then on the way, there is the starter box, and the starter approached to tell us if we are ready they will let us early tee off 15 min earlier.(There seemed to have been several tee time group abandoning the play yesterday! and I realized obviously the course condition was bad around 11:30) So we all went back to the Proshop but the Cashier said, we will have to pay different rate($89) because of the early tee-off.

We said that we have been told to come for the 15min early tee-off just to fill in instead of practicing, but the Associate told it is up to him to decide but not from the starter(So bossy!) and saying go back and wait for your tee time. I was also complaining saying that then why you guys having us coming back and forth wasting our practice time? and then he finally yelled at my face saying DO YOU WANT TO PLAY OR NOT?!?!' - What the!

Course Condition: Courses wet and muddy, so unmanaged - almost unplayable (My Friend slipped and injured his back at the green-front(5yds) fairway) Rough is too long grass not managed, very dangerous when wet (the starter will warn you!) Winter too wet/muddy, almost unplayable during winter season. (If the winter rain in the bay area is decent like year(2021), forget playing in winter season on this course) Summer too hot!

So Bottom line: - Proshop is unfriendly, arrogant, and unprofessional - Not worth the price 90$ at all, but they still do charge that high. - This course should be rated down to or even lower than the San Ramon Golf or Crow Canyon Golf. - Just not worth the price but proshot/management doesn't seem to know.

We had a Soft Hold for an Event Date, they decided to not call us or communicate properly and gave our date away to another party. The level and lack of communication is completely unacceptable. The dept that handles events should have the decency to pick up the phone and ask if we are still moving forward with our date that we had on hold prior to giving it away.

Let me tell you. planning a wedding during a global pandemic was insane. But I am so happy our coordinator, Sandy, made it so seamless. She constantly communicated any county changes and was very accommodating and patient with my many questions and emails! She even was able to vet a vendor my husband and I really wanted to use for cold sparklers during our reception within a few days notice!

On the day of our wedding, Mercedes was our day of wedding host and she was an absolute gem! She worked very closely with my day of coordinator to ensure the reception went smoothly. She even helped bustle my dress during our sunset photos! Our only regret was actually on our part. we felt like we didn't order enough late night snacks (sliders, fries, pizza) for our guests because they were gone just like that! All in all, highly recommend The Bridges! Check out my photos for proof.

I've never golfed at this course but I've been here on a few occasions for an event in the large conference room. It has sweeping views of the course and valley and it's beautiful. The room is a nice size to see well and to hear so I highly recommend it for a conference or large meeting space. The golf course doesn't look overly busy and the people in the pro shop are quite helpful.

The Bridges is the perfect place to get married. It's beautiful and they take care of just about everything. We had our wedding on 10/03/2021 and it was perfect. Our guests raved about the beautiful venue, food and the great service! Sandy is the main coordinator and who I communicated with most of the time. She is AMAZING! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was a bit of a challenge but Sandy always answered all of my questions promptly.

She is very professional and you can tell she has been doing this for a long time. I have never planned a big event so it was great having Sandy help us. Our day of coordinator was Mercedes who was also great! She helped with the rehearsal and throughout our wedding day. We were able to enjoy our wedding day as she and the rest of the staff took care of everything. I would highly recommend The Bridges for your next event!

The Bridges is such a lovely spot to get married. I had the recent pleasure of photographing my couples wedding day here, and this venue did not disappoint! The rose garden ceremony has such amazing views and beautiful sunset light (be sure to get married during the season in which they are blooming!). The reception space is large and so easy to transform into whatever your dreaming up.

Other popular spots to take photos on the property that I love are the front white walls, the main driveway with trees, the 1st hole (have to take a golf cart there) and the tunnel. Also huge shout out to their venue coordinator who was AMAZING in helping myself and the couple to ensure the day ran smoothly. And one more shout out to the kitchen team- the food was so good!

We finally had our wedding here at The Bridges Golf Club on 9/11/2021 and everything was perfect! My husband and I had SO much fun and our guests raved about the venue, food, everything! The service and catering options are top notch and the Garden Pavilion is beautiful with high ceilings and chandeliers. Sandy is such a gem at this venue. She has the best attitude and is professional, easy to communicate with and organized.

Our original wedding date was May 2020 but when COVID started to hit back in March 2020 and things were shutting down, we knew that we wouldn't be able to go through with that May 2020 date. Sandy was so patient and understanding and helped us reschedule our wedding date in a timely manner so that we could update all of our guests. I knew she must have been doing this for so many other couples and events at the same time, so we appreciated how accommodating and quick to respond she was to us.

As most brides do, I had so many random anxious thoughts and questions about wedding planning throughout the process and Sandy was always happy to help and quick to respond which always put me at ease! Our wedding host, Mercedes was also a blessing as she helped us run on time and any day of questions she was there to help out. Not to mention, she was so accommodating and patient and was a great golf cart driver! :) Thank you so much The Bridges Golf Club, and especially Sandy and Mercedes for hosting us on such a special day! You guys are seriously the best! :)

My story is a little crazy. I was having my wedding at a venue in Lodi, Wine & Roses on June 13. On June 2 the sales person I was working with told me they would have to give me my money back because they would not accommodate my guest count even with that county allowing for more people to attend. This was June 2 at 11:23 am. My wedding was June 13.

Within an hour I was talking to SANDY at Bridges Golf Course. I asked her if she had June 13 opened. She said yes! I had to move my wedding in less than 10 days. Sandy is an angel. She is heaven sent. She was very calm and professional. She eased all my worries and stress. She is FANTASTIC and AMAZING. She was available for all my crazy questions.

She has the best customer service and humor. I was able to move my wedding within an hour of the disappointing news I got from the other venue. My guests raved about the Bridges. The outdoor wedding was like a fairy tale. Everything was amazing. Everyone said this location was the best decision we made. The staff was excellent. I am still hearing about how great the food was.

Everyone who assisted with my wedding from the bar staff, wait staff and anyone who was there was GREAT! I highly recommend Bridges for weddings. Sandy will make your dreams come true.

I had a tee time with golf cart booked at Bridges Golf Club on 8/9/21 at 12:30 pm. We have a party of three people. Upon check-in, the associate informed me that I had to share a cart with another player which I don't know. I found this is a very ridiculous policy during the high numbers of COVID cases now. This is a major safety concern. I requested to have another cart because I didn't want to share a same golf cart with a stranger and there's no way to keep 6 ft part in a golf cart.

I was turned down and insisted that this is their policy. Then I asked them if I can pay for another golf cart, I was turned down again and they claimed that they are out of golf carts. However, I still see quite a few of them available at their golf cart cleaning station.

Good selection of food and drinks - awesome golf course view from the patio Some of the beers are bit over priced - one was close to $16 a for 20 oz!

Dan, Sandy and the whole Bridges team were amazing. Their help and service in organizing and executing a company golf event was exceedingly great. The food was excellent and the timing/delivery of the lunches exceeded expectations as I did not have to think about anything after check in. The green marshals and tee off hosts were great! I am very happy to share how great the service was, and the golfing/conditions were beautiful. Looking forward on planning another one of these events in the near future.

My husband and I got married here Saturday 3/20 and we couldn't be more thrilled with the amazing experience. We booked it super last minute due to our last venue not working out. Sandy our coordinator was AMAZING! She was very organized and on top of everything. She was always there to assist with our daily questions, and trust me their were A LOT!; We also had Colby our team captain. she helped us coordinate our rehearsal and was there to help with all our last minute planning.

We absolutely LOVED her! All our guest raved about how good the food was. We will definitely be going back and will recommend this place to all our friends and family. Carla + Jay

I have no problem with the course its so beautiful! My issue is! This manager in the Restaurant. So rude and HATERS! telling me in my face that if you are not gonna order GET OUT OF HERE! what the F%$#@!. We just finished 18 we have a big group and I just got inside the restaurant and telling me that in my face! 5:20 pm / 2-22-21. I didn't get her name. beautiful course 5 star but bad service and attitude

Attended a wedding at the club and the setting was beautiful, service excellent and the food outstanding. The entire event from outside wedding to inside dinner was first class

This is one beautiful golf course and we are lucky to have courses like these within the Bay Area! For the weekend rates at $89 with a cart ($79 if you share a cart), is actually a pretty good deal when I compare it to the courses closer to here in the Peninsula. This is a links style course, so each hole is separated from one another. Giving that feeling of a new adventure after each hole.

I hadn't played in awhile, but was lucky enough to stay in the fairway for the most part and shoot a decent score. The tee boxes could use some work, fairways were in good shape and the greens were decent. If you are beginner to the game, this might be a tough course for you. My suggestion, bring a ton of golf balls! Lots of tough tee shots, OB and hazards to get lost in. Luckily the golfers I played with were cool with playing best ball, which kept our group moving.

To play on a saturday and get a round in less than 4.5 hours, with no waiting on the tee box, that alone is worth the price of the green fee. With COVID guidelines, they allow 1 person in the pro shop at a time. I tried walking in with my golf partner and was immediately reprimanded and told to wait outside. Which was funny because as we were waiting outside of the pro shop for the rest of our group to arrive, other pairs walked in without any issue/fuss, so we thought that was kinda weird.

Oh well, at least we got to see the GOAT Jerry Rice, who ended up playing behind us. Always cool to interact with one of your fav 49ers of all time. Overall, fun course to play, good rates, and a course that challenges you in many areas of the game that is golf.

Beautiful course! The fairways are in amazing conditions but the hills make it extremely hard to hit perfect, pure approach shots. I absolutely love the course layout and the houses around, it gives me San Diego course vibes. Fairways aren't too narrow and are forgiving. I was quite scared due to the reviews on the condition of the course but I think they are taking into consideration what we customers are saying.

They have managed to fix the tee boxes and are continuing to do so. They aren't perfect but definitely good enough especially since it's winter and COVID! I've been to many different courses recently and this is one of the best courses condition wise. Don't expect a lot for the price you're paying. My only concern is the dirt patches on the greens making it extremely hard to put and read the lines. I'm no expert putter but 3 putting while you have a birdie look isn't fun.

I hope they can fix this issue in the near future and it's probably due to the weather, so just keep this in mind! I appreciate their carts having GPS as well which shows visuals of the course layout and the hidden OBs. Always try and club up due to the elevation! Our tee time was at 11:20 on a Thursday and we were able to finish in 4 hours and 15 minutes.

Love that! Also, there was someone on the 18th hole that offered to clean our clubs! He was really nice and hardworking so be sure to tip him! I would definitely recommend this course and return!

After getting engaged July 2019, my fiance and I braved a long search for wedding venues. We were ecstatic when we finally found Bridges and they hit everything on our checklist--great food, great drinks, and a beautiful space that stands on its own (but can easily be transformed). Since signing our contract we were in constant communication and they always had a quick turnaround time to any questions we had.

Of course, in March 2020 covid hit and every couple's plans got put into limbo (including our September wedding). An already accommodating staff became even more empathetic to our situation. From this point on we coordinated directly with Sandy, and she was nothing but sincere and kind whenever discussing the difficult circumstances. No one could have ever predicted 2020 would turn out this way.

So I just wanted to say thank you Sandy and all the wonderful staff at The Bridges Golf Club who've worked with us thus far. I'll be dreaming of the stuffed portobello mushroom and ahi tuna steak =)

This review is for Bridge's large Meeting/Dining/Event Hall suitable for weddings, parties, corporate events, private lunches/dinners, etc. Our SIRs (Sons in Retirement) Chapter meets here for our monthly luncheon. SIRs is a large, non-profit, public organization of retired men with branches throughout Northern California ranging from Bakersfield in the South state to the Oregon Border in the North and from the Pacific Coast to the Nevada border.

The membership is made up of thousands of members organized into 100's of local chapters. Our chapter meets here at Bridges every third Wednesday of the month for our Monthly Luncheon. We are not a philanthropic or charitable organization. Our sole purpose is to help other members enjoy their retirement. The Multi-Purpose Hall is a separate building attached to the rest of the complex by a covered walkway.

The complex is suitable for large social gatherings, weddings and other public events. There are gorgeous, sweeping views of the valleys, hills and, of course, portions of the golf course. There is a point to my description of our organization that takes advantage of their caterer and dining hall - we are so large that there are very few other places that can handle a group of our size for a monthly luncheon of up to 250 people! Bridges does it quite nicely and the food and service (buffet style) is very good and is provided to us at a fairly reasonable cost.

The dining room is organized into 20 - 25 tables of 10, each. We have a speakers podium and a decent P.A. system so we are able to put on a very professional program for our members and guests. When we first came here after outgrowing our previous venue, the San Ramon Golf Course, things did not go smoothly at first. We had overwhelmed them but they worked with us and the food got better as did the menu (they were used to doing weddings at a higher cost) and the P.A. system was rudimentary. But, today, we are very pleased with the facility and we're glad we made the move. Again, I'm sorry I lost the photos I was going to post. Jim

We have been celebrating our monthly birthday lunches at the View restaurant. The food and service is impeccable! Sylvia, Hernan, Jaime, Kirsten and the rest of the staff made each occasion very special and they all go out of their way to please us! You will be seeing more of us! Thank you!

Writing this review for this as a WEDDING VENUE, not a golf course. Came here for a wedding rehearsal last Saturday (November wedding) and then the wedding on Sunday - outdoor ceremony on the lawn and then cocktail hour and reception indoors. Pros: - Pretty good space for about 150-200 people, if you have about 8-10 people per table. My friends utilized a combination of round tables as well as rectangular ones (see pics), with round ones going down the middle leading to the sweetheart table near the fireplace, and then rectangular tables lining the side - Whatever contract service they partnered with to bartend was great - open bar available but "no shots, " so to get around this we ordered everything "on the rocks" so semi diluted drinks but it's all good - Outdoor lawn area can be decorated beautifully but you might have to bring your own arch/backdrop/alter - the venue was super kind and let people park their cars here overnight (in the back of the parking lot) if people weren't good to drive home after the open bar - Bathrooms looked fancy and clean - All the wait staff was pretty nice, except for this one incident where this lady took my wine glass without asking me if I wanted anything - and when I said I wanted to keep it she asked me if I was 21. (I mean I look young but not THAT young - also everyone at my table was clearly my age.) Cons: - pretty long walk from the bridal room to the front of the lawn if you are facing away from the reception area (the bridal party thought this walk would take 30 seconds but it took them way longer in heels) - patio area outside the reception area (between the lawn and the reception/dinner room) is kind of ratch? we were hanging out there for cocktail hour where servers handed us drinks but the chairs are kind of casual - the place the bridal party chose to take photos was basically the side of the building facing the parking lot - which isn't really anything special (it's a white wall - and the guests are waiting in the area between the lawn and the reception area - so there isn't really a nice backdrop unless you do it way beforehand before the guests arrive - random golfers WILL be coming to golf even if you have your wedding here in the afternoon (the couple had a really unfortunate incident where their dog was supposed to be in their ceremony but because it probably got really excited, it bit one of the golfers that randomly walked through (he's okay, dont worry) - so just a heads up if you're thinking about this - The sun is in your guests' eyes if you have the arch on the far end of the lawn, especially if your wedding is at 4pm in November.

Might be ok any other time of year - EXTREMELY SMALL DANCE FLOOR - does not fit all the guests - or even half really - Outside speaker system (not sure if this is a vendor that was connected to the venue or a personal one) wasn't reliable and when my friend and I officiated, it kept cutting in and out when my pal was trying to talk with a lapel mic (my handheld was fine throughout) Tried to show a few good spots where you
