“Bloomingdale is a Bendelow original next door to his magnum opus at Medinah; however, it plays like a course whose strategic intent has been quietly outrun by modern technology. The greens are pitched to reward one angle of approach over another, with very subtle undulations throughout — real, century-old design intelligence — but the course's shortness lets today's player wedge into most of them regardless, so the strategy is architecturally present but practically dormant. The front nine is mostly a methodical, back-and-forth affair until the final three holes, where the routing and land finally starts to move; the back nine is the better half throughout, with more natural doglegs, sharper bunkering, and better-framed greens."

“You are welcomed to the club by a very well maintained and beautiful clubhouse. The grill offers quick service burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and a couple other quick menu items. I heard the BBQ was a long-standing recipe and it is great. The golf course was underwhelming. The fairways are bluegrass and the greens are soft, spongy and appear to have lost considerable shape over the years. The greens also had several areas where grass was not growing and was dried out. The course can be challenging with a ton of trees lining the fairways which make hitting a straight ball a priority. With the better agronomic practices this golf course could improve greatly."
