Bloomingdale Golfers Club sits on 220 acres of natural terrain with 100-year-old oaks, natural marsh preserves teeming with wildlife, fields of flowers, and thirteen lakes. Here you'll find a true Golfers Club -- no pools, no tennis courts, just Florida Golf at its finest. Tree lined fairways, pampas grass, massive waste areas, deep grass bunkers and contoured greens tempt golfers to play a round. Golf Digest described Bloomingdale Golfers Club as having the best collection of par 5's on one golf course as they have seen. Bloomingdale, which has been ranked #9 in Florida by Golfweek Magazine, is dedicated to preserving the natural appeal of the land. Course residents include a bald eagle, several sandhill cranes, sixty species of semi-rare birds, and the ever-present raccoon...the course trademark.

Totally undeserving of so-called #1rating

Good layout, slow greens, fairway condition poor and no control on pace of play. On several holes we had 3 groups waiting on tee! Pass up this one.

Par 5 Challenges Very Nice

Very nice golf course, specifically the Par 5 Holes. Played them in -1 Today. The greens are in 8 out of 10 shape, I would prefer them a little faster but they were fair. #4 510 Yard Par 5 is a double dogleg hole, hit a great drive to the center of the fairway over the first set of trees, had 221 to the center of the green, which is within my reach (3 Hybrid) however a blind shot over that second set of trees, so I choose to lay up to 78 yards, wedge in with a birdie putt, slid by on the high side made the comeback putt for par. This course is a keeper, not sure why I have not play it before now. They are doing a great job at this course, very nice practice facility as well. Keep Up the good work. Exponentially better than the last course I reviewed in Riverview, Florida. Bloomingdale will get more of my Golf Dollars. Oh did I mention they will let you walk, huge plus :). Make it a great day!

Very little grass now

Played Bloomingdale GC earlier during our winter Florida stay & was happy to see the grass in the fairways & approach areas was much better than last year. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill quickly. The course layout is fun and challenging, but hitting off very sparse fairways is challenging and NOT fun. Where your ball will ultimately come to rest is a mystery even after a good shot. Probably won't be returning to BGC again this year. If you're OK with playing extremely tight lies, you may enjoy BGC since the layout is fun & the price is right.

Tough course on windy days

Course is enjoyable to play and very challenging with lots of water and doglegs to make you think about the next shot. It was a little wet after rains the previous day but still in good shape.

No starters or marshals

Would not play here again if it was free. The play was so slow it took 3 hours to complete the first 9. Stopped at pro shop ....there was three people working the clubhouse....and spoke to the pro. Told him we were leaving because play is just too slow. He mentioned that no starter showed up......guess he or no one else working the clubhouse could go move play along. He did offer to give me a raincheck for 9 holes but retracted that offer when he found out I booked thru golf now.

Fun course

On my first time playing Bloomingdale this winter, I found the course conditions to be improved over prior years. Though it doesn't have the lush fairways of the high-dollar courses, the fairways are a step above the hardpan I've seen on other courses in BGC's price range. The greens are firm but roll true. The layout is fun and definitely challenging, which accounts for the slow play I've invariably encountered at Bloomingdale. If you're new to golf, you may want to take notice of not just BGC's length (almost 5400 yards from the forward tees) but also the course slope and rating (72.6/130 from the forward tees ). Unless you're prepared to pick up to keep pace, Bloomingdale is NOT the place to learn - other than their practice facilities. It's just too tough for beginners & not only spoils the pace of play but has to be frustrating for the beginner or high handicapper - as it is for those watching & WAITING from behind you. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The pro shop is nice as well.

Great Course Layout -Fast Greens

The course was packed and running 20-25 minutes behind scheduled Tee Times due to a large group outing. We paid, looked around the Pro Shop, grabbed a bucket of balls and headed to the range. The course has a good size range, a short game range, and huge practice Green. We Tee’d off 25-30 minutes later than our scheduled Tee Time and waited On a number of holes, but overall the pace of play wasn’t bad...about 5hr round. The Greens were fast and in great shape. The area had a storm move through the previous night dropping a ton of rain, but it was still 90 degrees with a few wet spots, but overall pretty good. The Ranger came by 2-3 times and kept play moving. The course layout was challenging with plenty of water and sand. Overall, great layout.

I would recommend and we will be back.

Pleasantly surprised

On initial entry into the course (from the parking lot) you kinda expect a mediocre course. I was pleasantly surprised with most of the layout I f the course and especially the conditions of the greens. A bit choppy of the fairways but overall acceptable. Staff was

Very friendly and alot of good deals in the club house. Cart girl was very friendly and efficient. Practice area is

Pretty decent as well. I would recommend
