I played Bridgemill recently and the course was in very good condition.
The staff was excellent. The course is not real difficult, but still offers a good challenge from the back tees.
The signature hole #16 is a lot of fun and resembles the #17 at Sawgrass.
This course is a must play.

We went right after a rather large rain and the course was surprisingly dry.
The greens were kept in great condition and the people that worked there were very nice.

Played on 7/13/09 after big rain storm. Course drained beautifully and we were even able to take the carts on at 90 degrees after a while.
Have played all over the city and this is by far my favorite course.
Plays well from the whites for a 30 handicapper. Good staff and amenities. A very good value.

Played on 7/8/09 early afternoon. Payed $37.00 with LMTT fees.
This is my 2nd time playing BM in 2 years.
The course is in very good condition. The fairways are wide and the rough is playable.
The sand is hard but you can get out without being a great bunker player.
 The greens are running fast, for me, and I could never get the speed correct.
 A few greens on the front nine have been aerated within the last few weeks.
This made them roll a little slower.
If you've never played BM, go with someone who has. There are blind shots and hidden creeks crossing fairways.
The scorecard does not have hole layouts so unseen dangers are lurking.

Played 6/30
Great course in really nice shape. I pushed it back to the black's this time out, man did it ever change the course.
 I really enjoyed the challenge but don't think I'll do it again.
 Other than playing behind the women who were terrible we had a fantastic day.
Greens look like they had been hydrated recently but were rolling really good considering the pin pricks in the greens.
I don't get tired of playing Bridgemill like a get tired of playing other tracks in the area.

Played 6/27 after Member/Member tourney. The course is in great shape tee to green.
Great par 5's and the Par 3 16th is a fantastic hole. 5 sets of tees offers something for everyone.
Pro Shop Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great practice facility. I will be playing here a lot more.

Played today for the first time. I must say I was very pleased.
 The clubhouse let the two of us tee off a little early, so we would not get caught behind a foursome.
 Pace of play was fantastic...we played in 3 hours 15 minutes and we only had to pass one group.
The conditions are on par or better than the other courses in the area...especially the greens.
If the idiots playing these nice courses would repair their ball marks, I would consider this course's greens to be almost flawless.
 They rolled true and had decent speed.
 I didn't spend much time in the clubhouse, but the practice area and the range were better than average.
The course layout was somewhat unique. It is hard to describe course layouts,
 but there was a nice variety of uphill/downhill holes. Warning...be careful with the angle of your tee shot.
If you are not careful you can hit your shot virtually straight down the middle of the fairway,
as you can get blocked out by trees on you approach shot to the green or your lay-up shot on some par 5's.
 In summary, you should definitely give this course a try. It is well worth the price we paid 45$,
but I would say the conditions are better than other courses in the area that charge 60$-80$.

I played Bridgemill on 6/16/09 (Tuesday), $37 LMTT fee paid.
 Started at 1:30pm and finished at 4:45pm. Super quick play!
 Probably too hot for anyone else to play.
Greens were slower and softer than I remember, but were in good condition.
Putting was really fun.
The fairways were well maintained and the first cut of rough grass was tough,
but you could find and play your ball.
Overall, their normal weekday rate is $59, so $37 is a real bargain for this fine golf course.
I do highly recommend you give it a try.

Course Played: 6/14
Played this course on a LMTT rate of $49 on the weekend and have to say it was a great bargin.
Greens were in good condition and rolling very nicely. Speed seemed fair and lines were true.
 I actually had one of my best putting days ever here. They were very receptive to shots as well.
The fairways were in very nice condition and while the rough was not a major factor in a round it would punish you for shots into it.
 The course is very nicely put together and was a lot of fun to play.
Did not actually go into the club house as another guy got us checked in as I arrived right on time for tee off.
Overall we really enjoyed the course and even my fiance, who is still learning,  had fun playing. Would definitely play again.

We played on 6-7-2009 and the course was in real good condition.
It was the first time I have played at Bridge Mill.
The greens didn't seem to be as fast as some of the other posts have stated, but they rolled true and fair.
 I paid the last minute rate, and the course was well worth the price.
Although I am usually conservative (cheap) when it comes to paying for golf,
 I would probably play there again at full price.

Played on 5/24/09 and course was in great shape. Greens were perfect and rolled about 11 on stimp,
 and pace of play was excellent for Sunday on a holiday weekend.
Foursome got around in about 4:20. Service, practice facility, staff, and layout were all very good.
Only gripes were ball marks on greens seemed numerous at times and $75 price tag is a little high,
 but not outrageous for the conditions. I plan on playing again in the fall.

One of my favorite courses when in Atlanta, interesting design, unique, nice scenery, and usually in good shape.

Played on Sunday afternoon and even though the course seemed busy we got around in 4:15.
 Course has a great layout and was in really nice shape. Played using yards from LMTT,
 so I can't speak much about price but compared to the other courses on LMTT
 I would pay 60 to play here on the weekend.
I have played most of the courses in the area,
 and would definitely recommend this one if you have not been out here yet.
