Bloomington Downs Golf Club

great starter pro shop staff not so good other staff great golf cart rental 50 for two people over priced

Overall speaking, the course was well maintained with good fairways n greens condition. Bunkers were well kept as well. If the roughs can be cut shorter, the pace can be much better as it made it easier n faster to locate the balls thus improving pace. Many golf courses are doing that as most players are amateurs and a more user friendly course will be more enjoyable. Check in was quick n easy with very friendly n polite staff. Beverage cart was always available which was important in this hot weather. A good course to enjoy.

So here’s the scoop: we rolled up to Bloomington Golf Club in Richmond Hill thinking it’d be just another casual round. Boy, were we wrong—in the best way possible.

We teed off around 10:20am with a nice breeze, blue skies, and just one ball between us (yup, we were a single). In front of us? A trio. Behind us? Another three. Sandwich’d like a lonely golf ball in a six-pack. But somehow—miraculously—the pace was buttery smooth. Like a well-oiled backswing. No waiting. No pressure. Just golf heaven.

Now let’s talk about the course. This place is gorgeous. Towering, majestic trees everywhere like nature’s version of Augusta. It’s peaceful, serene, and yet still just a hop off Highway 404. So basically, it’s the kind of place you can sneak off to without your boss—or your in-laws—ever knowing.

The greens? Dead honest. What you see is what you get. Roll it right, and it drops. Roll it wrong, and well… that’s on you, pal.

But don’t let the short yardage fool you—this course is sneaky. Like, “you-better-think-three-shots-ahead” sneaky. Course management is everything. Pull the wrong club, and you’ll be shaking your head while your ball takes a mini vacation in the woods. I played smart, used my noggin, and ended up shooting a sweet 83. (Not my all-time best, but hey—I’ll take it!)

The par 5s? Very gettable. Most are driver + 7-iron or less. Some holes set you up for a sandwich approach, and if you’re dialed in, it’s a field day for your short game. Great place to sharpen those wedges and boost your confidence off the tee.

All in all, Bloomington is that friend who looks quiet and chill but secretly crushes it at trivia night. Not the longest course, not the loudest, but it’ll make you think, test your skills, and reward good play.

Would I go back? Oh absolutely. I’m already plotting my rematch with the back nine.

!

Our group took more than 5 hours for this course because the group in the front of ours was crazy. They may take more than 10 strokes for one hole. We told the marshals, didn't work well. The move is still slow. Some disappointed for this course. Can't understand why they don't care the people are waiting for them.

Enjoyed the course play! Staff were friendly. Price point was perfect 18hole round

The course could use marshals that are are not in their early 20's. Driving around but not doing anything about the pace of play? Not useful.

The selfish 2 foursomes in front of us decided to play as an 8-some on 18. That resulted in a 15 minute wait for us and backed up the entire course even more thatn it had been.

Great job. NOT.

Course was very dry and hard. Greens not receptive when making long iron shots in.

Some bunkers could use a bit more sand to make them playable

Average course for the price. Walk rate more acceptable. Ride add $25 per person is few bucks higher than other similar courses.

Will play again.
