Not as thrilling as some of the other N.D. stories. Nancy doesn't get kidnapped and she is in danger only once. And the bad guys aren't that bad. And Bess is barely chastised about her weight at all!

Fun basic mystery but nothing special about this one

Nancy Drew and her friends are on their latest adventure at a resort with a golf course which has a “haunted bridge.” DUN DUN DUNNN.
I honestly am not sure why they decided to title this “The Haunted Bridge” because the “mystery” of the bridge gets solved pretty quickly. What the bridge leads to, however, is another story. This was one of my more favorite Nancy Drew stories that I have read so far. It was a lot more exciting and did not contain the very typical Nancy Drew gets kidnapped at some point plot. My one problem with it, which shows the date that it was written, is there was a point where Nancy is approached by a man and the attention is unwanted. She and her friends say “No, I won’t tell anyone. No one will believe us.” Like, UGH. It just reminds you what was so wrong with society back then. Overall, I did really enjoy the story (even though the golfing aspect was kind of dry) and will obviously keep reading Nancy Drew.

In this one, Nancy is a pro golfer, even with a sprained hand (of course), finds treasure without trying, and spends most of her time trying to fend of the advances of a dude with a ridiculous name. I thoroughly enjoyed Nancy's indignation at the audacity of men, 1950's style:
"The conceit of the man!" Nancy fumed as she read the note."

There was entirely too much golf in this one, but other than that, I found it enjoyable. We got all the big characters except Hannah, including a lot of face time for Carson Drew. Lots of red herrings, too, which was also fun.
