Actual Green Grass

Some courses around Orlando are miserably brown but MW was much greener. A nice value for only $44 on golfnow. Nice layour and most greens rolled well.

Really Kept Up Well

Great course for $30. All of the traps were well maintained. All the fairways were nice. The greens were very nice also. It is a great course. If you play badly here you can't blame this course. It has to be you. All good and will definitely go back next year when the price foes back down to $30. Back nine greens were aerated but done in such a way as to not affect putting. A real value.

Sand Traps Unplayable

Fairways and green were ok but the sand traps were not raked and nobody was even working on them. There was minimal rain yesterday and some had puddles in them....but there is a lot of sand on this course and it would have been nice if one of them was ready for play....no, not one was ready......and no effort by this course to remedy. Highly recommend that out find another course to play....this one is not ready to play golf on.....too bad because the layout is pretty good......it will be a long time before I waste my money here again.

Nice City Course

Fairway and greens were in good shape for this late in season. There were many leaves on the course but there were people out there blowing them away. Really a good value for the money.

Slow and Wet

We had a foursome ahead of us that was very slow. There were no rangers on the course to help speed things up. The course was soaked after some heavy rain for the past few days which was expected but the greens were fertilized and it collected on your ball when putting which made it difficult to play. Cart path only was expected due to wettness. Will give it another try next summer on a dryer day.

Good Shape After Rain

1 day after a 2 inch rain this course was very playable. Some sand traps had water in them but there was someone working on them. Staff was very friendly. Greens and fairways were in good shape considering the amount of rain yesterday......good job!

Bunkers Need Help

Overall the course was in very good shape. The fairways and greens were very nice.it is a very nice and interesting course and the group golfer coupon made the price great. The only issue was that the bunkers had not been worked on or raked. Some look like they had water in the bottom but it was now dry. All it needed was some raking to bring them back to playability but virtually none were done. Also there was no ranger and the back nine got a bit backed up. Still a nice course and I will return.

Unfriendly soggy course

Granted......it was a fairly rainy week but today was dry. The sand traps were wet and soggy, the course in general was soggy as it always is with any rain. Do not plan on playing here if there was any rain within a few days earlier. It doesn't drain well. We had to keep our carts on the cart path but they were like driving on flooded potholes. Raise and fix the cart paths or fix the drainage.....or both. I will not be returning.

Been a long time....

Haven't played Bloomingdale in a long time. Found the course to be in very good shape including the greens and fairways. The fairways are not bent grass so don't expect perfection but they were fine. They were sealing the parking lot so I had to carry my clubs an extra 150 feet but that was only a one day inconvenience I hope. The food staff (Ellen) was very accomodating and friendly. I will return sooner than later.

Not for prime time

This course was in terrible shape. Greens were only fair. Rough was not cut. Only one guy cutting anything. Fairways were not cut except for 6 feet on one side of one fairway. Looks like the cart paths have not been fixed in 25 years.
Only positive was that the starter seemed to be friendly. Will never return.

Big Run was in great condition but.......

Fairways and greens were in great shape especially after the very harsh winter. This course is not for beginners. It is exceptionally difficult. A few suggestions for improvement are: put some sand in the bunkers and remove all of the stones and pebbles( it is too much like dirt), and get a few rangers that can keep an eye on the pace of play. This facility could host parties and even weddings if remodeled and would be a great moneymaker in the area.........

Ok course with nice views

Course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play was slow. Ranger tried to get it moving but we had to wait on most shots. Course is a bit pricey. Greens were the slowest I have played on this year. Some of the yardage seemed off because 3 gps devices agreed and the course said something significantly different. One of the ponds had dead fish floating...........ok but not great.

Great value for the money.

Course was well maintained and was interesting to play......however.....had to wait 10 minutes on the par 3 fourth hole as the crew just fertilized the green and turned on the water! We noticed that other groups also had to wait for the water to go off on a few other holes.....hmmm....a bit frustrating but we will return next year as the overall course was very nice.

Great Layout

I really love playing Blackberry Oaks but.......yesterday the weather was cool in the morning and the back 9 had 4 or 5 greens that were not cut thus when putting there was a stream of water coming off the ball which made it hard to putt. Also there was an outing after us and their restaurant was closed to us.

Course was in good shape. Greens were fast.

Would recommend this course. With fast greens and some higher grassy areas it it quote challenging.
