Bloomington Country Club

Bloomington Country Club, a stalwart of southern Indiana golf, possesses a rolling, parkland style layout that reflects its mid-century origins. The gently undulating terrain, south of Bloomington proper, is more forgiving than menacing, favoring a strategic approach rather than brute force. The course rewards shot-shaping skill, with subtle doglegs and strategically placed bunkers demanding thoughtful club selection. Originally designed by William Diddle in 1924, Bloomington Country Club has seen revisions over the years, most notably by Bill Newcomb in the 1970s. The course is not particularly renowned nationally, it remains a cherished community asset. The club is known for its warm hospitality, a place where generations have honed their games and where the post-round camaraderie is as important as the score. The clubhouse, a traditional structure overlooking the 18th green, is a perfect spot to savor a locally brewed craft beer while recounting the day's triumphs and tribulations.
