What people discuss
Golf Digest panelists and specialist course reviewers generally praise The Bridge for immaculate conditioning, striking views, and the unusual way its golf and clubhouse architecture reference the former race circuit. The course is also described as highly exclusive and expensive, and a minority of reviewers find the presentation overly curated, but the golf itself receives strong marks.
