Bloomingdale (Bloomingdale Golfers Club) Homes for Sale, Valrico FL

About Bloomingdale (Bloomingdale Golfers Club)

Bloomingdale is one of the biggest neighborhoods in Hillsborough County, with roughly 5,000 homes spread across more than 30 subdivisions on both sides of Bell Shoals Road, south of Bloomingdale Avenue. Construction started in 1979, most of the homes went up during the 1980s, and the last section, Erindale Oaks, finished in 2013. More than five developers built here, so architecture, lot size and rules shift from street to street. About half the subdivisions have mandatory HOAs and the rest have voluntary associations, and a few sections such as Bloomingdale Village sit behind gates while most streets are open. The golf course runs through the middle of the area on about 220 acres of oaks, pines, marsh and 13 lakes. Homes that back to the fairways are concentrated around Great Golfers Place, Golf Manor Boulevard and Crooked Stick Drive. For buyers, the appeal is choice: a golf course lot, a gated enclave or a no-HOA street can all sit within a mile of each other. Because rules and fees vary by section, check the specific subdivision's documents before writing an offer.

The golf at Bloomingdale (Bloomingdale Golfers Club)

Bloomingdale Golfers Club is a Ron Garl signature course that opened in 1983. It plays to par 72 and stretches past 7,100 yards from the tips, with a course rating near 75, which makes it one of the longer tests in east Hillsborough. Thirteen lakes, century-old oaks and marsh preserves shape the routing, and the closing hole is a 409-yard par 4 that bends left. The greens are Champion Dwarf Bermuda. The club leans into practice: there is a two-tier driving range, practice bunkers, a chipping green, a one-acre putting green and a Titleist fitting center with a JBM club repair shop. Tour players including Lee Janzen and Steve Stricker have used the range. The club advertises being voted Tampa Bay's top course ten years running and a four-star rating from Golf Digest's Best Places to Play. It is semi-private, so the public can book tee times while members get regular access.
