Description

Overview

Bloomingdale Golf Club was once the site of Glendale Golf Course. Opened in 1924, the original course designer, Tom Bendelow, was also an integral participant in the design of Medinah Country Club. When the village of Bloomingdale purchased the 72 year old Glendale Golf Course in 1996, a commitment was made to create a challenging course with outstanding amenities within a country club setting. In the fall of 1998, the village brought on the golf course architecture firm, Lohmann Golf Design to handle this task. Bloomingdale Golf Club offers an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all levels.
