Great Course

Very hilly, be prepared to adjust yardages to compensate for elevation changes. Well conditioned, greens rolled true and fast. We played 36 holes and I never had to roll my ball in the fairway to get out of a bad spot.

Loved it so much, we went back

This is a great course and a fun track. We liked the conditioning and layout so much that we went back to Wyboo in our short, four-day trip. We played another course on our last day, but felt that Wyboo was soooooo much better that we left after just one round (we normally play 2-3 rounds on the same course) and went back to Wyboo.

Awesome Conditions

Even though they just aerated the greens, they did such a good job finishing that putts still rolled true. The fairways are almost "resort like". Many times in the fairway my ball was sitting up like it was on stiff shag carpet; I could almost see the whole ball. You won't be sorry if you go play this one!

Great Course

The ONLY reason I didn't give course conditions a five-star rating was because the greens had been aerated recently and the marks weren't completely gone. Other than that, it's a beautiful course. The greens still rolled well, though a hair slow for my tastes; probably due to the aerification marks. The fairways were plush and the greens receptive. A good combination of short and long holes, and tough doglegs. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. If I lived in the local area, this would be my home club. My daughter and I had a great day and can't wait to get back to this beautiful course. I highly recommend you get out to play this one!

Better condition than it looks

I normally play the south course at MacDill, but wanted to try the north course again to check on the greens. I was pleasantly surprised at their condition. While not pretty, the greens were smooth, rolled true, and were plenty fast. As for the rest, the fairways and tee boxes were full of grass and freshly cut. It was a real pleasure to play the course and I'm adding it back into my circuit of courses.

Fast greens and soft sand

Course condition was very good. The greens are always very fast at this course. The practice facilities are excellent. The bunkers have soft sand, if you're used to hard packed bunkers, recommend you practice a few shots out of the practice bunkers by the chipping green. The white tees are 6,000 yards and a good challenge for most golfers.

Excellent condition.

Excellent course. Just aim your tee shots away from the hazards and you'll be ok. Don't try to be too aggressive on this course. The course was in great condition, again.

Great Course

We got a discounted rate due to the greens being aerated two weeks prior, but they were still in great shape. We played the white tees; some holes were very challenging off the tee and some long par fours.

Sand Piper is one of our favorite courses in our rotation. Course conditions are always great and we love their practice facilities. The greens are speedy and well groomed.

Beautiful course with great views.

The South "Bay" Course is a challenging course with multiple carries over or around water features. The greens are perfect. The staff is super friendly and genuinely want you to enjoy your experience at their course. The carts all have GPS which aid in club selection and pace of play. You won't regret playing this course!

I always enjoy playing Bloomindale GC. Course conditions are normally above par and the staff are friendly.

This round was played in early Sept. and they had just aerated the greens. Their normally smooth greens were not fun to play in this instance. I continually regret when I book tee times at courses where significant maintenance has been performed (green aeration, green reconstruction resulting in temp. greens,etc.) and they don't alert me to that when I book. It's even worse when they charge the regular rates for less than normal conditions. I understand and appreciate the need to do regular maintenance, but let me know what's going on so I can decide if I want to play in those conditions or not.
