Northwoods Golf Course

Terribly slow. No ranger to maintain pace of play.

I was in Columbia for a few hours and decided to pull out my sticks. This course was in great condition for the most part, the staff was friendly, and the pace of play was awesome! I can't wait to come back!

Northwoods has recently put a great deal of money into renovating their course and to their credit, it definitely shows. However, making money back on an investment is no excuse for overbooking or allowing groups of 5 (I counted 4 groups of 5 on the course on this particular day) to play together. My round of golf with one other person took in excess of 6 hours due to these conditions. When I brought this to the attention of the attendant in the Pro Shop, he said that it was GolfNow that allowed the course to get this crowded and also was responsible for allowing groups of 5 to be able to play together. This is simply not true. And personally, I am offended that this gentleman would throw GolfNow under the bus and not put any of the blame on the course itself. I will not be back to play this course again until these policies change. In the meantime, I would highly recommend that GolfNow do the same.

Went out at 10:30am and the tee boxes were very wet and muddy, and it hasn't rained all month so it was the sprinklers over watering.

Played this course for the first time a year ago and it was good then but now it has greatly improved!

Definitely will be in my normal rotation!

This course is very challenging and the greens are gorgeous! We will be back!

Gets a little better each time I go. Several years of neglect will take another growing to overcome. Couple gimmicky Dye holes but overall good layout.

Course is in great shape. There were only a couple holes towards the end of the round that are needing some attention but not bad by any means yet. The one thing that seems to be an issue is the pace of play. We had a group of 4 in front of our 3 that were taking forever on every hole, pretty much doing everything you’d hate for a group in front of you to do. Hit the ball 100 yards off the tee and then get down in the creek to look for their ball for a solid 10 min. Wait on each other to hit their ball before they even assess their own shot. Each time we caught up they’d look at us as if we were rushing them. So on and so forth. Not until they realized we were legitimately upset did they let us through. At that point everything was great. Definitely will go back.

This is a very good looking course, too many trees in the way, fairways tight and in average condition. Greens are fine and average in difficulty. The problem I have is if you are even a little off on your drives, it's going to be a bad day! My recommendation, if you are driving the ball very well, this is the course for you. If not, try a more open course.

Wow, what can I say. The course layout is great, the staff was great, and the beverage cart was everywhere that day. Pace of play can always be a challenge as there are a few "short" holes that can back things up. Beyond that, you need to go out and try this location.

Under this new Management, course has improved greatly. Enjoy playing here about four times a month. Only bad hole is #8. They've been working on this hole for months now. But overall I love playing at "The Spur".

Course in much better shape than when i played a year ago. I thought i would have not gone back, glad i did. Enjoyed the round very much

Greens are getting a LOT better, fairways are also looking better- one more year of up keep and it will be back to its best days.

Course was n great shape! The staff is very unwelcoming.

The Ranger was useless, a 4 some was holding up the whole course and said or did nothing !!! We had to skip the 10th hole ! Then didn't see anybody the rest of the round !!!

Great for value just make sure there's not a tournament going on very slow play
