Course Plays Long
Although the White tees are only a little more than 5,800 yards, this course always seems to play much longer. The Par 5s are relatively short but there are several Par 4s that make up the difference. Not much water or bunkers but if you find them, they can drive up your score. Only negative is the course doesn't drain well and after a short or steady rain, the course can get sloppy.
Pace of play was not good, greens slow and many bare spots in the fiarways.
Fall conditions
They did an excellent job with the leaves. The greens were in good shape.
Groundskeepers
It looked like groundskeepers just kept up with us in every hole for the first 7 holes blowing leaves our way
Good Course for weekdays
The course was fun to play for the first time. However, there are things that made me not want to come back. There was a group of very bad and very slow golfers in front of me. The round took 5 hours to complete. I don't care if someone is bad at golf, but there needs to be a ranger monitoring pace of play. There was no one in front of the very slow foursome and I noticed a lot of poor etiquette overall during the round.
The greens were good and the bunkers were fine. The holes and layout were fun. Fairways were not great and there was no fringe next to the green which was bizarre.
Price was great and the course was fun to try, but I wouldn't come back on a weekend or with more experienced golfers. It seems like the kinda place where you get a lot of beginner/slower golfers. Chicagoland has a million courses to try so this one wouldn't be at the top of my list now that I've tried it. Good price though and in fall it was still pretty!
Solid value
Late season round at Bloomingdale was very good. Tee boxes and greens a bit spongy but very playable. Leaves were not bad given time of year. Staff were outstanding, responsive. And friendly.
UNDER REPAIR
I was very disappointed that several of the greens were under repair and that we weren’t told about it in advance or that the fees weren’t adjusted accordingly
Great value course
As long as you can shoot pretty straight it’s super fun an safe to play
Forgotten gem
I forgot how nice this course is. Course was in really good shape only a few tee boxes were all little
Beat and for this time of year extremely acceptable.
Has some long par 5’s and par 3’s but fair. Greens rolled really nice. There are several blind shots so if that bothers you then maybe an issue. Didn’t think the staff, rangers, starter were very pleasant but other than that loved the course. Paid $45 on tee off time well worth the money. Plan on coming back for sure.
