Not one to give bad reviews, but for the price, this place should be embarrassed. Books us in between 2 outings AND a high school golf tournament, so play was slow as molasses. Teed off 30min after booked time. Terrible tee boxes and greens, and brown fairways. Old cup holes were sunken an inch deeper than the rest of the green.
UPDATE: golfed here today (8/30/25) and was very disappointed that the new owners haven't improved the course. The greens are TERRIBLE. Maybe 80% covered in live grass and the rest dead grass. Putting through pot holes. How are they charging $50+?!!!!

There's no reasonable argument that this course is worthy of anything more than two stars. The greens aren't just poor, they're essentially unplayable. Worst I've ever seen.
Was everyone nice? Yes.
Is the layout interesting? Sure.
But if you're going to spend your precious time and money playing a serviceable round of golf, you probably can't do worse. My son and I left after playing seven holes, and we're not remotely country club folk. Maybe in a year or two the new ownership can turn this into something. Nothing personal, but reviews of golf courses are pointless if people are not being honest about the conditions.

Had a great day. Course was in great shape. Greens had just been aerated, so putting was a huge challenge. Very bumpy. Outside grill area is not open yet. Food begins Memorial Day. Bar was running and drinks were cold. Sun was out and 70 degrees!!!!! Southeast Wisconsin golf at is best. Great little gem of a course!!!! Great driving range and huge chipping green!!! Cool people play here!!

WONDERFUL venue for Wedding!! Joe, April and the staff were excellent, the food was delicious & the views spectacular! Joe and his staff were very accommodating and helpful; from the time we booked Bristol Oaks to the day after the wedding. They set-up the wedding venue exactly as we asked. They also took down all the decorations we had brought and had them packed up for us then next day to pick up. Couldn’t ask for better service. AC was newly installed and functioning well. I would definitely recommend Bristol Oaks for a wedding or any event.

It’s come around a lot in the last 2 years and they are working very very hard with what they have, no automatic irrigation, limited equipment, etc. The greens are very healthy, little bit of dry spots and bare spots, but compared to the past they are miles better. Fairways are green, rough is green, greens roll well, tees are softer and greener than past years. Staff is incredible, and you can tell there is passion behind their work and dedication behind the grounds crew. I say give it a year and this course will be another level. Big plans in store, better equipment, more water, and better turf. Stay tuned.
