Before coming across Bloomingdale Golfers Club, you may never have come across a facility labeled as a "golfers club." The reason is simple: Bloomingdale prides itself on being a golfer's golf club, and there are no swimming pools or tennis courts or fitness facilities to be found here. This club does golf, and golf alone — and best of all, it does it well: For 10 years in a row, Bloomingdale Golfers Club was voted Tampa Bay's No. 1 golf course.

Designed by prominent Florida course architect Ron Garl, this 18-hole, championship layout runs a total of 7,155 for a par of 72. It's not the length alone that gives Bloomingdale its teeth; 100-year-old trees line the fairways, sharp doglegs force shaped shots and massive bunker complexes eat up errant balls. At a 74.4/165 course/slope rating, Bloomingdale Golfers Club is among the toughest tracks you'll ever face from the tips, though there are four additional sets of tees allow you to scale the difficulty to your personal preference.

Regardless of whichever path you choose, you'll still be surrounded by the same beautiful course. Native pampas grasses, natural marshes and various wildlife provide the type of surroundings that perfectly complement such thoughtfully designed golf holes. In fact, the combination of the Garl design, top-notch course conditions and exceptional practice facilities has earned the trust of some of the world's best golfers from the PGA, LPGA and European tours who now call Bloomingdale Golfers Club "home."
