Golf in Bloomingdale

Bloomingdale is a DuPage County suburb that came into its own during the 1980s growth wave, with the Gary Avenue and Army Trail Road corridors becoming major commercial spines through what had been farming townships. The Indian Lakes Resort and Conference Center put Bloomingdale on the map as a destination for corporate retreats, drawing visitors from throughout the Chicago area to a facility with meeting space, lodging, and golf on the same campus. Bloomingdale Golf Club and the resort course together give the community two distinct golf options — one oriented toward local residents, one toward transient conference visitors. Illinois' strong community tradition and the state's extensive park and recreation system create the context for golf clubs that serve as social anchors alongside the natural and civic amenities of community life.
