Not going back there

I did not enjoy my round of golf. On 10/2/15 I was the first golfer out on the front nine at 7:04am. I finished the front in 1:10 and made the turn to the 10th hole only to find 3 groups waiting to go off on the back nine. What the?
I walked off the course and don't think that I will ever play there again.

Good Course Good Value

First time playing the course. It was a Sunday afternoon, so I was expecting it to be slow and it was. It wouldn't have been a problem except at this time of the year the sun almost set prior to finishing 18. Got paired up with another two-some and they played there regularly. They talked to a ranger about the slow play, and was supposedly told "this guy spends a lot of money here, so we don't want to tell him to hurry it up". Fortunately he only played 9 and we picked up pace on the back 9, but it's disturbing to cater to some golfers and not others on a public course.

Wait for big discounts

I only play this course when I get very large discounts because frankly it's overpriced normally. The condition of the course is spotty at best with thick unkempt rough around the greens. Bunkers are short on sand as well. It's a fair test with some easy holes and some rather tough ones particularly from the blue tees, though one or two greens, notably 15, have severe breaks that will confound average golfers. Number 9 is a terrible par 3 too and needs to be redone.

Overall it's an okay experience if you aren't paying full price or anything close to it and it's conveniently located. But not one I'd recommend fully.

Bloomingdale - Not bad for the money

This is a tree lined course with some relatively narrow fairways. However, if you get in the trees you still have a fighting chance to recover without having a blowup hole. Some of the fairways were a little thin in regards to grass, so the ball often would be more on dirt than grass. The rough varied, so sometimes it was thick, or other times it was thin so the ball settled down to the dirt again. Of course you're not supposed to be in the rough, so you just have to deal with it. The greens were decent, and many have a decent break in them. Sand traps seemed decent... I escaped from the only two I hit. Not too many water hazards, but OB is possible on a few holes, so be careful. Bottom line, I'd play it again, but it's certainly no Medinah (members only, and I'm not one. :-( )

Played 4 some labor day am

Course in good shape, greens slower in front 9 but after coiler greens much faster. Lots of sand in most holes and little water. Most holes had wide fairways. Good value for 45 on golf now but not sure be as happy paying full rate.
I would go again

Slow play

If you want to take out 6 hours of your day for the price this would be a decent course. There was more divots on the green then anywhere I have ever played. Not sure if the staff goes through and fixes them when the disrespectful golfers don't but I spent half my day fixing green divots from balls. I played with 3 friends of mine all pretty decent golfers all very respectful to the course. We were rather annoyed that the guys in front of us took forever. We wait waited and waited. Which leads me to say I only gave 3 stars for staff friendliness. The cart girl and the start guy and everyone else was good. But for some reason the ranger kept following us around and staring at us like we were doing something wrong. It just made us annoyed and uncomfortable. I was disappointed as this course is close and was hoping to utilize a course on a weekly basis. For how perfect this weather has been this course should have been in much better shape. All in all learn how to speed up the play and take better care of this course. It has potential.

The course is narrow but short. Fairways were long and bunkers were not the greatest but very inconsistent. The greens were soft and held well. They had a nice roll to them.

DECENT COURSE

ok course for the money, greens are a bit slow needed to be cut and the holes were raggy. the rough was high and hard to locate your ball. It rained the night before the course does not drain well a lot of standing water around the tees and fairway.

Great Course! Poor Pace!

Golfnow needs a feature indicating whether a Tee time is backed up to an outing. We had a 6 hole gap at the start and caught a 60 man outing on the back nine and came to a complete halt. Pace of play was the worst, almost 6 hours for a round. 15-20 minutes in-between holes, absolutely ridiculous! And of course the foursome in front of us had no sense of urgency. Otherwise Bloomingdale is a great course for mid-handicap players. Forgiving but not too easy. I will play there again, but not on a weekend!

Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand that pace of play is important, and have increased our intervals to 10 minutes on the weekend for this reason. Unfortunately it seems our system was not perfectly in place and kept you from completing your round in a more timely manner.
