About The Bridges Golf Club

The Bridges Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 public course in San Ramon, California. It opened in 1999 as part of the Gale Ranch development and was designed by Johnny Miller and Damian Pascuzzo, who were working with the Robert Muir Graves design organization. The course occupies steep, canyon-cut East Bay terrain, with ravines, creeks, elevation changes and forced carries playing an important role in the routing.

Published current course records list the back-tee layout at 6,861 yards with a 73.6 course rating and 138 slope. The original design developed a reputation for demanding play, leading architect Jay Blasi to undertake a major bunker renovation in 2013. That project removed more than 80 bunkers and reshaped others in an effort to improve playability and maintenance while retaining the course's distinctive terrain.

Origins

The Bridges was developed as the golf centerpiece of the Gale Ranch community in San Ramon and opened in 1999. Johnny Miller and Damian Pascuzzo collaborated on the original design.

Design Philosophy

The routing uses the site's valleys, ravines and elevation changes to create demanding angles, carries and uneven lies rather than imposing a conventional flat parkland pattern.

Development

By 2013 the difficulty and maintenance demands of the original bunker scheme prompted a substantial renovation. Jay Blasi reworked the course and removed more than 80 bunkers while reshaping and improving drainage in others.

Today

The Bridges operates as an 18-hole public course in San Ramon and retains the dramatic terrain and elevated character of the original routing.
