Non Existent Rangers

I had to abandon this round after nine while playing on a 5 hour pace. The foursome in front were screwing around, playing slow like they were the only ones out there and for the entire front nine not a single ranger. And it wasn't like there were groups in front of that foursome, there weren't. They made a nice day miserable and it was totally preventable.

We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Bloomingdale Golf Club.

Perfect Monday

Everything was great and since it was an early tee time, I was able to get going on my own and play as a single which I always appreciate. Course was not overly busy. Only wish I knew range was closed but that was a minor thing. Halfway house was open which was appreciated

Read Phase 4 Guidelines

These guys think they can take a pass on phase 4 guidelines. No masks in clubhouse, pairing up non household people on carts with no controls for vax or non vaxxed people. On top of this, course maintenance in non fairway is worst I have ever seen. Not going back as their pricing is overpriced for what they offer. Way more options in their area that care about their customers instead of maxing their dollars.

Not Country Club Conditions Despite Them Trying

For an $80 plus round, this course was just okay. Let me list

Practice area. Like no grass, just green covering in sand. They could have moved the area forward but did not.

Starter. Dude, wear a mask if you want to tell me about the course. This guy was like 3 feet from me and I had to lean away to maintain any distance. Their covid safety procedures, other than the clubhouse were NON EXISTENT.

Greens. Water them. It was like putting on asphalt. Hard, fast and not ever able to get a chance to figure out approaches and putting.

Fairways, good conditions but they were disabling carts, on some holes more than 100 yards away from green making a lot more walking especially since their has been little rain.

Overall, for the price, I have been on many more nicer courses for less and probably won't make the 45 minute drive again to play here.

Pace. While there were rangers, it gets backed up and were consistently over 10 minutes off pace.

Thanks Craig. Sorry you did not have a good time. Not sure why, but we never see our Starter without a mask...perhaps he momentarily pulled it down to reiterate the rules...still no excuse. We are very strict with our cleaning and disinfecting as most people are very aware. We, of course, would always welcome you back to experience a great day at Stonewall.

Slow Back. Backed ip

The pace of play when I started at 140 was horribly slow. Constantly waiting for forsomes and no rangers at all. The last 3 holes were so backed up that I saw two groups waiting. I left rather than wait it out. Otherwise the course was in nice shape

Beautiful Day

Very walkable course and got a round completed in 3 hours. Greens in good shape for early in year but the fairways looked a little chewed up. Not having sand available for divot repair might cause a problem down the road

Walking

Man, I forgot how hilly this is to walk. The course was fairly empty so pace was very leisurely. Still early season here and cold but the place was in great shape.

Will play again

There had been mixed reviews from other golfers about this course regarding conditioning, value for money etc. I found the course to be very enjoyable, the staff very friendly, and overall experience really wonderful.

This course plays like two courses. The front nine is nothing like the back nine. The front plays like a conventional course with nice landing areas even for errant shots. The back plays like a crazy links course with narrower fairways, lots of grass and water.

The only negative about this course is the driving range. The tee areas were brown, dry, hard, not watered.

I will be back to try this course again now that i know what I am getting into.

Always great

This is one of the best courses around. Even early in the season it it in great shape all around beacuse it drains well. For the money it’s a great value. Even as a single they had no problem just letting me go out there and play. No trying to pair me up which can be a drag as I was trying to work through early season stuff.

Tough For First Time

This was my first time at Eagle Trace. Very friendly staff, well appointed pro shop and well kept locker rooms and other areas.

Course is really tough for a first timer.I was a single player paired with another single and we were constantly waiting for the 3 in front of us. We even took some time at the turn and that didn't help at all. Got to the point where between the heat and frustration of the course, I skipped the last couple of holes.

Conditions on the course were great.

Cypress Not Playable

i have never lost so many balls just off the fairway. Poorly mowed fairways, tee boxes poorly maintained to the point that some were just dirt. i understand this course doesn't charge much but for the price, there are really good courses for about the same amount that are in far better shape.

You may want to look elsewhere
