Est. 1983 · Ron Garl
Why we love this place
Why we love this place: a Ron Garl gem hiding in plain sight, all old oaks, pines, and marsh, playing far more private than its public tag suggests. Big, honest, and beautifully mature, it's the sort of Tampa Bay round you happily book again and again.

About Bloomingdale Golfers Club
Bloomingdale Golfers Club opened in 1983 in Valrico, just east of Tampa, and has grown into one of the area's most popular daily-fee destinations. The signature course was designed by Florida-based architect Ron Garl, who laid out a classic championship test across roughly 220 acres of natural terrain dotted with century-old oaks, towering pines, marshland, and more than a dozen lakes. From the back tees it stretches past 7,100 yards to a par of 72, with Bermuda fairways and greens throughout. The routing threads through preserved wetlands and wooded stretches that give the course a secluded, mature feel unusual for a public layout. Long a fixture of Tampa Bay golf, Bloomingdale has repeatedly drawn regional recognition as one of the top-rated courses players can access without a membership.
