Bloomingdale Golfers Club sits on 220 acres of natural terrain with 100-year-old oaks, natural marsh preserves teeming with wildlife, fields of flowers, and thirteen lakes. Here you'll find a true Golfers Club -- no pools, no tennis courts, just Florida Golf at its finest. Tree lined fairways, pampas grass, massive waste areas, deep grass bunkers and contoured greens tempt golfers to play a round. Golf Digest described Bloomingdale Golfers Club as having the best collection of par 5's on one golf course as they have seen. Bloomingdale, which has been ranked #9 in Florida by Golfweek Magazine, is dedicated to preserving the natural appeal of the land. Course residents include a bald eagle, several sandhill cranes, sixty species of semi-rare birds, and the ever-present raccoon...the course trademark.

When we booked our tee times with the course directly - they did not mention the greens had been punched and sanded earlier in the week. Nor did they mention it when we paid our fees, nor did they offer any type of discount. The front nine greens were OK, mostly playable with little impact from the maintenance. The back nine was a completely different story. Every green had lots of sand on them and the ball bounced like it was going across year's old asphalt. Only one drinking station per nine is completely unsatisfactory, considering the heat and humidity in mid-June. At least a third of the tee boxes were nothing more than weed patches interspersed throughout a pile of sand.

The real grip is the fact the course expects golfers to pay full greens fees under these extremely poor course conditions. I'd recommend staying as far away from this course as possible, unless you like wasting your time and money on a very poorly kept up course.

Course wasn’t in that great of condition. Tee boxes are in really bad condition. Greens had way to much sand on them, so much the flag wouldn’t go down in the cup all the way. The maintenance staff would talk and drive by in the middle of the backswing. A lot of things need attention

This is an awesome course, suffering from a year of rough weather. I'm confident that it will be restored in short order if the weather cooperates. Meanwhile, the green fees are reasonable, and the staff all work hard to ensure a great time.

We had a great time today!! All courses in the area are suffering as a result of no rain. This being said, this course was in the best condition of all the ones we have played on our trip so far. The people are super friendly! The setting is beautiful and lots of cool looking birds. Tee boxes could use some work, the fairways were good but the greens were awesome. The restaurant was good and the craft beer selection very good. This is the best quality for value so far. Well done!!

The course is close to the house and could be In better condition. Actually this could be a great course with a top notch greens keeper and ownership spending a little money on it. Its great for a round after work to get your game on par for the weekend.

Course is greening up. Waste area on left of hole six was crisp shell and rubble before. It is now filled with 4 inches of soft ungroomed trap like sand which is absolutely unplayable! There are tire grooves which are impossible to hit out of. Nonetheless great value

Like this course, greens awesome, some dog leg challenges very interesting, need good course management on par 5 9th or double bogey, forced carry on 18 is fun if playing from right side of fairway, after my round I booked another Tee time right away. Strongly recommend this course.

If you need clubs, check out their custom club fitter Joe Colbert. He does a great job
