The Bridges is about 40 minutes north of La Crosse in Winona on the south side of the Mississippi River.

The golf course is a parkland design partially through a residential community with homes on several exterior holes. The layout is surrounded by forest with the fairways defined by old growth, hardwood trees over rolling terrain. It's well bunkered along the fairways and greens with wetlands, ponds, and Pleasant Valley Creek in play frequently. The course's original 9 holes, known as the Winona Country Club from the 1920s, were designed by its first golf pro Ben Knight. Robert Trent Jones, Sr. redesigned and added a new nine in the 1960s and later, Joel Goldstrand reconfigured the 18th hole. There's four sets of tees overall with the Whites at 5,823 yards, 69.6/134, course/slope ratings.
