I booked this round at Red Bridge based 100% on the reviews posted to this site. When I pulled up, the entrance befits the reviews then it falls apart. Everything about this club screams “we ran out of money.” They were going to build a parking lot until they ran out of money. They were going to build a clubhouse until they ran out of money. They were going to have a snack bar until they ran out of money. They were going to repair and maintain the golf carts until they ran out of money.

The good news, I know where the money is. It is obviously spent on the course. The greens, fairways, bunkers, pristine! The layout is really cool but the signs are confusing and don’t give you clear directions on where to head next. There are a lot of elevation changes, really really long Par 5s, including two back to back.

The Verdict: this course is great but needs to be invested in.

It’s been that way the whole time, and I used to think they’d update it. They never have. I never really thought of it that way, though. Kind of a funny take.
When it first opened, I recall it being marginally harder, but they made plenty of modifications. That one Par 3 never used to have an elevated tee. I seem to recall more punishment in certain areas, but that was so long ago I don’t remember anymore.
Still a gem though. The course makes up for the rather…. uhmm…. Spartan amenities.
That said, I grew up with courses that were mostly muni courses…. Club Houses were snooty… :D
