Bloomingdale Golfers Club

Found a hot deal for Bloomingdale and decided why not. For the price it’s a great course but my issue is always pace of play there. We had a group of 3 and couldn’t get around them until we skipped the 10th hole. This course needs a marshal to help maintain the pace of play. I don’t mind waiting on a group if they make an attempt at speeding up. The foursome in front of us was playing their down two man best ball thing. The second person would sit in the cart and wait until their partner hit then get out get yardage and club selection. We called the pro shop and they didn’t have a marshal for send someone out to speed them up.

I could say a lot about this course, but at the top would be the practice area. You can actually work on your game and every component of it with the layout they have. Well done.

Pace was slow. Need to stagger golfers tee times so your cart doesn’t tell you’re an hr behind normal play. Love the course tho. Great shape.

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.

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.

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.

One temporary green and lots of sand on a number of tees. Will come back in a month

Play was extremely slow on the back nine.

No ranger to push the slow group along

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.

There are a few greens on the back that have damage, otherwise the course is in pretty good shape
