Bloomingdale Golfers Club

Bloomingdale Golfers Club is a 'tough but fair' test of a player's ability. From the 'tiger tees' it's a 7,155 yard par 72, with a 74.4 rating that is among the most difficult in the country. Yet from the shorter blue, green, white or red tees the course provides a fun, 'members-style course' with plenty of birdie opportunities. While singling out any one hole on this magnificent course is tough, Golf Digest described Bloomingdale Golfers Club as having the best collection of par 5's on one golf course as they have seen. They start at the par five 4th, a majestic hole of some 564 yards that snakes first left, then right, then left again along a fairway lined with 100 years old trees to a green set back in a clearing. Positioning and strategy, not mere length will be needed to yield a birdie on this hole. The 9th is a great finish to the front nine that measures 546 from the tips. It's a dogleg left guarded off the tee by a lake on the right, with the second shot and approach guarded by a lake left and in front of the semi island green. While it's possible to reach in two most players will be more than happy setting themselves up with a good wedge shot in. The 14th is another spectacular 514 yard dogleg left, guarded either side be towering trees and natural wild life, straight is much more important than long on this hole. The final five is another awesome hole that offers a little of everything, trees off the tee, massive traps to avoid on your second and a lake once more guarding a green accented by native pampas grass six feet high.
