Repairs on course

I like this course, but this week the greens were covered in seed and sand. You could not putt. The white tee boxes which I play were awful. Covered in sand and seed also. 1 green was being worked on so temp green was set up as well.

I know the greens and boxes need work but with snowbirds leaving end of April, maybe could have waited another week or so to do that work.

Course is good except right now

After teeing off 20 mins late. The cart died on hole 12 and we took turns pushing it in just to be met by chuckles in the cart barn.

Sandy tee boxes and hard pan fairways

Course in very poor shape for forty dollar price. Dark greenside bunkers because it was dirt. Redoing green on one hole on the back nine. Had backyard temporary green and temp hole was six inches wide. Very few holes had ok fairways. Will not return. Could have paid five dollars more somewhere else and saved the forty five minute drive. Should have took photos.

Nice challenge course

Nicely laid out, course in good shape, only issue is the slow play, people playing 2 balls no matter if their is a crowd waiting on them and not allowing you to play through.

Why did GolfNow have high reviews

Ok, I’m a 10 handicap. I play a lot but at 60 years old and playing from the blues on this course I was definitely not impressed. Let’s start with pace of play. I was the 7:40am group. Paired with three 25-30 year olds. They didn’t really know how to play the game. No etiquette at all and they each lost a dozen balls. That said we were still right behind the group in front of us. The round was 4:45 long!!! You have got to be kidding me! No wonder people are frustrated here. They guys I played with were nice and fun but it did make concentration a little difficult.

The fairways were in decent condition but some of them are super gimmicky. One par five is literally a giant letter S with no way of hitting to the green in two if you are a long ball hitter.

The greens. OMG I’ve never seen anything this bad. Massive damage to several of them. No way you would make a putt. On three greens we made an agreement the most you get is a two putt no matter what.

The carts. Literally trash. Broken parts and two GPS systems not working. One tire was so flat we had to get a cart replaced on the seventh hole.

Cart girl? Yep. Anything on the cart? Barely anything at all. Fireball shots and warm beer. We had to send her back for water and no coffee that early!!? Wow. No snacks at all.

GolfNow does the booking so you pay at the course so be aware of that. All in all I would never play this dog track again.

Bloomingdale could use some work

They are charging regular winter rates but the overall condition of the greens is not good. There are a couple of greens that are in terrible shape. For the money, we should have played somewhere else.

Busy! Close Tee Times and Players jumping in

It’s always busy there but when there isn’t anyone watching the tee box at 1, you’ll have several folks just decide to jump in at 1 or 10….not to mention groups that just merge together and play 6-8 folks per box.

Best I’ve Seen it.

Course was a little busy. We had to wait about 15 minutes to tee off after our tee time. I’m not too bothered by that but we did keep catching up to the party in front of us, and we’re no pro’s. I hadn’t played this course in a long time but from what I remember, it wasn’t as nice as it is now. I will definitely play it again.

Worst Golf Experience Of My Entire Life

If I could give this course 0 stars I would. This was hands down the worst golf experience of my life. We had a 10:30 tee time and had to wait until 11:15 to tee off. The course was overbooked and they were still letting people show up and walk on in front of us. It took us 3.5 hours to get through 6 holes. Walked off the course and asked for a refund and the proshop manager accused us of slowing his course down even though we were waiting for 15 minutes on every tee box, with multiple groups in front of us on each hole. Zero accountability for overbooking the course. $75 tee time and got 6 holes in 3.5 hours. I will never go back to this course and will make sure everyone I know does the same.
