Bridgewater Golf Club

Test your game against a watery foe with today’s feature: $19 for 18 Holes with Cart at Bridgewater Golf Club in Auburn near Fort Wayne ($42 Value. Expires August 1, 2017!)

Though it’s located in Auburn just a short drive North from Fort Wayne, today’s feature course, Bridgewater Golf Club, certainly feels more like something you’d find in the coastal landscapes of Florida or California rather than Northern Indiana. But, luckily for you, today’s feature gives you the opportunity to experience a taste of coastal golf without having to splurge on a cross-country plane ticket.

Opened for play in the summer of 1999, Bridgewater’s unique 7,200-yard course was built around one principal form of challenge: the water hazard. Featuring few trees, a fairly limited number of sand bunkers, and relatively little elevation, it's an excessive amount of H20 throughout the course that stands between you and a low score on the day. Water comes into play on eight of the nine holes on the front, and doesn’t let up after the turn, especially on the course’s most difficult challenge: the par-5 10th. The best course of action at Bridgewater is to keep your shots under control, your game properly managed, and your three-putts to a minimum if you want to have any chance of shooting a low score on the day.

The beautiful and challenging golf course would be enough to put Bridgewater in the running for one of the Hoosier State’s best, but it’s the exceptional practice facility and awesome dining options that really make it special. Before your round, be sure to spend some time on the practice range (with a 12,000 square foot teebox), short game practice area with three target greens, and oversized practice putting green. The more time you put in here, the bigger the reward out on the course. After finishing up 18, Bridgewater has two 19th hole options to suit your mood and appetite. The Bridgewater Grille is a casual spot to toast your scores and grab some grub with your foursome, while the Water’s Edge offers of the finest fine dining spots in the Fort Wayne area.

Thanks to the five different sets of tees that range in yardage from 7,272 to 5,107, Bridgewater is truly the perfect playing experience for golfers of all skills and abilities. Treat yourself to one of the area’s finest courses by taking advantage of today’s feature now.
