and we encourage your interest and participation. Seven Bridges Courts is located in Greene Valley and is adjacent to the west to
Prentiss Creek. Prentiss Creek and the East Branch of the DuPage River meet
under the bridge at Hobson Road and continue to flow several miles to meet
the West Branch of the DuPage River. In theory, we could canoe from here to
the Gulf of Mexico. Seven Bridges Golf Course is a public course owned by the
Village of Woodridge and run by a management company. The golf course
was formerly two (2) public courses: the Meadows and the Woods. It originally
opened in the 1930 s. Seven Bridges Golf Course was built in 1990. To the
south of Hobson Road is the Greene Valley Forest Preserve that extends
approximately three (3) miles. To the East of the river was once a sod farm
and the Northeast corner of 75th street and Greene Road was a polo field. Just Southeast of us near 71st
Street and Hobson was the site of a battle of
Pottawatomie Indians and settlers in the 1800 s. This area became a burial
ground and is now owned by the Girl Scouts who operate a camp there. The Courts is a town home
community of 20 homes on Brassie Court and 26 on Mashie Court. The common
area is bounded by the wood fence on the North, the brick walls at the East
and South ends and by the East edge of the nature path along the river. The
nature path and area immediately outside the walls is owned and maintained by
the Common Area Maintenance Association
(CAM). Part of our monthly assessment goes to the CAM maintenance fund. Seven
Bridges Golf Course owns the naturalized area west of the nature path. The
Courts are designated as a planned unit development (PUD). Seven Bridges Courts Association (SBCA) The Board of Directors,
whose seven members are elected by the unit owners every September, conducts
the day-to-day association business. The Directors meet as needed, usually
monthly, and all owners are encouraged to attend these meetings. The date,

on the mailboxes. To keep all owners
informed of current matters, the association publishes a newsletter as often
as needed to all residents. Your copy will be emailed to you. Please read the Rules and
