Blackberry Oaks Golf Club in Bristol, Ill. is an 18-hole, public course that boasts a reputation for being one of the best courses the Chicagoland area has to offer. The layout sprawls across a diverse landscape, incorporating grassy prairies, native wetlands, and groves of mature oak trees into the layout. Blackberry Creek weaves through some of the holes as well, providing even more water hazards. The unique design seamlessly blends a classic links-style with terrain that is very different from what you would typically find on a traditional links golf course. Blackberry Oaks G.C. has a good mix of tough holes and risk-reward opportunities, which give it appeal for a wide range of skill levels. Long hitters will also be pleased to hear that most of the par 5s are reachable in two.
