Northampton Valley Country Club

I played here 2-3 months ago and in my opinion the course has gone down hill in that time. It is over an hour drive for me, and nothing there is driving me to go back.. Also the course ends with a very nice and long par 3. Today when our group left the 17 we noticed a group on the green and 3 groups on the tee. That shouldn’t happen. We all gave ourselves par and called it a day. so I will not be returning.

Tough fast greens I wish all courses would play this fast so I could get used to it.

Rude staff, trash all over course, tee box’s are a mess, beer cart/ranger drive and sit on fairways when teeing off, bugs everywhere, very distracting (surrounded by public park), pace of play was awful. Starter allows groups to jump in front of you. Don’t waste your money. 18 is a par 3.

Course layout and conditions are good enough but way too many gnats.

The course was in excellent condition, the staff was very accommodating and other than the slow pace of pay for the 1st 9 holes, it was an easy day of golf. The greens though were a tad quick for my putter.

I’ll start with the positive. The staff is friendly and generally speaking, the course is in good shape. When I say he course, I would exclude the tee boxes which were rock hard, chopped up, and in rough shape — the worse I’ve seen in years. But oddly enough, the rest of the course was in good shape?!

This round reminded me why I don’t play this course very often. The hot deal offer was just too good to refuse so I ventured back. I recall playing a 6 hour round and walking off after 16 holes because of darkness. My last several rounds were much more reasonable in terms of pace of play, but we suffered through a nearly 5 hour round. We started timing the guys on the green who must have been playing for money because they took upwards of 5 minutes to hit their putts and they lined up every putt. Even the 3 inch tap ins. I’d like to say I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. The course was marshaled and while he spoke to the painfully slow foursome on multiple occasions, he basically let four guys ruin everyone’s round. He obviously knew of this group because he said they were notoriously slow so if they’re regulars, I’m not going back. By the time we hit the 16th hole, there were three foursomes waiting to hit. At the end of the day, my guess is there was a course full of angry golfers. If I were the course managers, I’d ban this group because I’d rather lose four golfers than the 60 of us behind them.

Nice enough track. A few rough spots but the problem was a 5 hr 40 min round at 8:30 on a Saturday. Maybe I’ll give it another shot if I can get a deal.

Course in good shape stay out of rough grass cut high greens good but alot of divots not being taken care of buy players golf enticate should be tAken

Nice course, in great condition and staff very friendly and courteous. Nice bar and grille too

Played a round by myself on a super hot day. Really enjoyed the place and in particular the Marshall Greg was a delight. Personnel make the experience. Thanks.

The course was in very good shape except sand traps. They were like cement. The problem is the disregard for tee times. It is a load and go course. We had 3 groups on every hole. Play time was 5 hours and 40 minutes. This unacceptable. .

I have played this course several times in years past but this was my inaugural round in 2018. The course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was good, I was matched with 3 players I did not know prior to playing the round but from the 1st tee trough the 18th you would of thought we were long time buddies playing golf. The round was a lot of fun and I even shot less than a 100.

Beautiful course. Impeccable greens that are smooth and super fast. Bunkers have great sand, are raked well. Rough is pretty forgiving. All around great course and very well priced.
