Long Bridge Golf Course

Long Bridge Golf Course is conveniently close to Springfield, just north of the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. Designed and built by Merle Buerkett, the course overlooks the Sangamon River Valley, and in its natural setting makes you feel as though you have altogether left the city. Long Bridge has a mission to maintain an outstanding golf experience for players of all calibers and has been providing challenging scenic golf since 1998. The fairways and tee boxes are bluegrass, the greens are bent grass, and the roughs a mixture of bluegrass fescue. These all together make up generous and playable areas surrounded by natural tall grasses. The design allows the course to blend into the beauty of the two six acre ponds and the surrounding timber. The natural areas and trees are home to a multitude of birds and other wildlife. The greens at Long Bridge are medium generous in size and roll true. Planning locations for approach shots to the greens will challenge the golfers’ mental game as well as their ability to execute good golf shots. Once on the green, you better look twice to line up a perfect lag or one putt (due to the undulation and typical speed of the greens).
