Detailed description of Bridges Golf Club at Hollywood Casino
Bridges Golf Club at Hollywood Casino, is a Resort, 18 hole golf course located in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi.
This Arnold Palmer designed signature course opened for play in 2006.
On the banks of Mississippi's beautiful Bay of St. Louis, the course set on 600 acres of moss-draped live oaks, stately pines, magnolias with sweeping vistas of saltwater marsh.
The course gets its name from the 21 bridges on the property that combined are almost a mile in length. Numerous bulkheads are incorporated into the layout. If this makes it sound like water can be in play on most holes, then consider yourself advised that extra golf balls is a good idea.

I receive fre play from the casino that owns the course. However, they advertise specials(59.00 for hotel and golf). This is described as "target" golf. If you are too far off the fairway, chances are the ball will be unplayable. Condition is consistently good and surrounging wetlands add to the ambiance.

Day 42 - 100 days, 100 courses (Wednesday, April 22, 2019)
What's a big change from 3 great days in New Orleans? How about a course in Mississippi that is surrounded by wetlands and all that encompasses (e.g. Gators and Snakes). To quote Indiana Jones; "Why did it have to be snakes?".
I hooked up with Stan and Wally at the first tee and agreed to play whatever tees they wanted to. They picked the forward tees. Alright, I thought, still a respectable rating and slope and maybe I can go low.
I was wrong. Wally warned me, it would be target golf and he was right. I think that I only used my driver 4 or 5 times. It was all layup and stay out of trouble. Narrow fairways, lots of marshes, water and sand determined how the game came out.
I started with a birdie and that was the high point of the day. I ground through the front 9 and played significantly better on the back. I would have felt better about the whole thing if Wally hadn't shot even par.
