Northampton Valley Country Club

I've played this course many times over the years and the one constant of each round is that the pace of play is so very slow. They are always overbooked, and few are the rounds that there is not a 4-some on the tee, another in the fairway, and yet another on the green for the entire round. I've had rounds that I walked off the course after 15-16 holes because we were 5+ hours into the round.

If they lowered the price it would still not be better, but they seem to increase the rate each year without any noticeable improvements on the course. My money and time is best spent elsewhere.

Course in good shape but way overbooked no spacing between tee times way overcrowded 5 1/2 hrs during a weekday way too long

Course is in great shape. Hats off to the superintendent. Should have rangers to improve pace of play. Rates are competitive for the area.

NHVCC is an excellent course and is always kept in great condition.

Great course in awesome shape.
Very long round. Started at 850 and ended at 130. Smooth through the first 9 and them the wait started every hole after 11

I've played this course 3 times and have never walked away with a bad experience. Course was in great shape, pace of play was not an issue (we were first out). Greens were true and slick.

coarse in good shape but pace of play terrible 0ver 5 hours

Booked the first tee time at the course as a hot-deal allowing a couple of my friends to join me before work. We tee'd off just after 6am with the course completely open. Playing as a foursome at a comfortable pace we drove up the fairway of #9 roughly 15min before our "on pace" turn time. As we hit our approach shots to the 9th green a foursome pulls up to the 10th tee, as we put out another group pulls up to the 10th tee. Now we are waiting for 2 groups to play in front of us. As we walk in to the pro shop to find out why this is happening another group tries to pull up to the 10th tee but we were able to get our carts in the line first. We were told they had someone on there way out to organize things. On my second trip into the pro shop to find out what was going to happen I hear the owner (G*ry) say to his employee, "well they only paid $25 for the round." Mind you the normal rate from 6am-7am is $35 so we saved $10. We were given the option of going to the 15th hole and then coming back to 10 after 18, but we decided against this as I did not know what to expect upon returning to the 10th tee. So after a one hour fifty minute front nine we waited twenty minutes on the 10th tee and played the back in two and a half hours, almost forcing my one friend to leave the round early to get to work. So much for getting up early and booking the first time at the course to try and play at a pace we all feel comfortable. The thing that really gets me is that this is in my opinion one of the nicest semi public courses in the area and I would like to play it much more then I do. I have trouble getting my friends to go unless they are crunched for time and have to play local. Besides these events the course was in great shape. The greens are looking the nicest I have seen them in a while and I was a member here for 5 years. Hope to see some improvements in the overbooking and this place would be a real gem.

the course is very nice, and well maintained. The only problem is overbooking of the course. We were not told there was an event and that conditions were going to be slow. Our tee time was 2:20 we did not finish until 7:45. Don't let me my beginner status allow any doubt in my review. I have played on several other courses and this wait time was awful.

Course was in great shape, and the layout is challenging but very playable for experienced golfers! Love playing this course, and got it for $25 on GOLFNOW!

First time playing here and it was beautiful. My brothers and I could not have asked for a better day to play over the weekend. Greens and fairways were very well taken care of and was a challenging course to boot. Would play here again for sure.

The course is in great shape the greens are rolling real nice all in all its a great place to play..

I got the great Golf Now deal for a 6am tee time. It rained a little during the night, so the grass was damp and greens were soft. The course was in great condition and after being waved through the group ahead of me, I had the whole course to myself. The standard rates are a little pricey, but this is one of the best kept courses in the area.

Course was in nice shape, greens were fast and nice, my only complaint was there wasn't anything to eat or drink, we tee'd off at 7am when we made the turn around 9 I should be able to grab a drink or snack , so overall I'd give it a score of about 75/100

Seems straight forward but not much room on fairways and greens are tough to read. Looking forward to playing again.

Beautiful course, early bird pricing was great and got out 15 min early

Northampton Valley has one of the smoothest layouts and most well kept landscape I've seen in a long time. The course is just as nice as any $100 course I've ever played and the facilities were fantastic. I will be back a few times before the end of the season.

Course was in great shape!! Staff was great. From the pro shop to the starter. Enjoyed the round. Nice layout!

Nicely laid out course that's challenging for beginners and intermediates and also has a great bar and restaurant to relax in afterwards

Great course, for 20 dollars this is a steal. Expect it in the next few weeks to still be wet because around the rough and tree lines it was very wet
