Northwoods Golf Course

About
Northwoods Golf Club is one of the Columbia area's premier public courses. P.B. Dye, son of renowned course architect Pete Dye, designed the layout, incorporating some of his father's signature features. The golf course is player friendly enough to appeal to any skill level but there are some challenges in store as well. Mature trees line most of the fairways and there are a few strategically placed bunkers that come into play. You won't come across much water on this golf course and it's not terribly long either. It's gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. The golf course's signature hole is the par-4 14th, which features the famous Dye railroad ties bordering a lake that hugs the bunkered green. Northwoods G.C. also offers a practice facility with a lighted driving range and putting green.

Excellent.
820 tee time. Only bird in a threesome. The best greens to try. Shot a 104. Lost two balls hole one on me. Great experience
Good for the money
Good value. Nice condition. Pace of play was terrible.
It took 5 hours to finish and there were people waiting ahead and behind us.

I will not use Golf Now ever again, it was cheaper to go direct than the "deal" at Golf Now

Awesome layout, easy to find friends
Everytime I play here, I make a new friend. Always awesome people on the course.
The only thing keeping the course from being totally exquisite is the amount of traffic, but given how busy it is, the staff keep it in great shape. Usually having so much traffic would leave a course in shambles, but you can tell they work to undo the damage.
Cool layout, sometimes the pin positions are a bit tough, but never outright unfair
okay could be better
Greens were good
traps need work and more sand
fairways were good but have some drain problems

Nice little get away
First time playing here and I loved this course. Beautiful lay out with some tricky spots to challenge shot making skills. The staff was awesome and pace was excellent. A little wet in some areas especially a couple tee boxes. This course is on my play again and was not disappointed in the hour plus drive.
The place is falling apart!
I used to be a member at Northwoods, can't believe how neglected and dilapidated the course has become. Needs a major cash infusion to get back to respectable condition. What a shame!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u116964997. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Northwoods Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
