Northwoods Golf Course

Very wet 4 days after rain still a swamp. Bunker sand vey compact or filled with mud

In pretty good shape for the time of year, unlike a recent experience recently elsewhere (the wood). Would play again soon.

I recently booked a round through the GolfNow app. Me and a few friends drove quite a good distance only to be met with a locked proshop. Upon calling the course number, the guy simply said we’re closed. When I asked about refund or rescheduling, the employee just said “get your refund back from the app you booked through”. I’m not sure if this is poor customer service and business management from GolfNow or Northwoods Golf Course but I’m less likely to use either again.

I was out playing the Spur Jan. 24. Two days prior there was a good amount of rain and apparently the course was pretty saturated still when I went out. Golf range was also closed due to the wet grounds so no warming up beforehand. It was a bit of a colder day so not too many people out in the morning times which meant I had a pretty open and easy playing day with no pressure of people ahead or behind (woohoo). The greens were pretty decent but any low lying areas in the fairways were very muddy and many of the sand traps had water. Did a lot more walking given the cart path only restriction. All in all it was still good enough to enjoy the day and experiment dropping some extra balls here and there and trying out a different club and swing.

First time playing here and really like the layout. Some holes really tough due to blind shots. But that makes it more fun. Not use to the brown grass though! Overall a challenging course and fun. Will be back

Best course in Columbia, best price in Columbia, best golf environment in Columbia, staff is very nice, you get treated like family.

Attendant from the barn were a little rude. Took so long to assist due. But the ranger were nice and approachable.

Had another great outing teeing off at noon on Thursday. Nobody ahead of me or behind me which is really a wonderful way to play! The course had some beat up areas and watery/muddy spots to work along with the sand traps being a bit heavy and wet. All in all though the fairways and greens were in good shape after several dry weeks (except one day from Hurricane Ian).

Had a nice quiet outing where not a lot of people showed up in the morning due to rain predictions which never materialized. So I was able to get out earlier than my assigned tee time and play as a single with no pressure behing me and no one ahead of me. Course was in pretty good shape from all the rain we have had though some greens were a bit rough. All in all just had a quiet relaxing round working on my swing and dropping a few extra balls now and then when the swing did not feel right.

I have played this course multiple times. The conditions are usually average, not bad but not great. Today was average. However, I have never experienced such bad customer service nor pace of play. We waited for two full groups to tee off after every shot. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. At the turn, I politely asked if something was going on and if we could get a rain check for the back 9. The staff acted as if I was not there and could care less what anyone brought to their attention. For a course that is 10-15 minutes down the road from my home, it is a shame that I will never return.

The Spur is always in good shape and the layout is stimulating due to the unique layout.

Took a chance to play in 94 degree heat and turned out better than I thought. The course was in very good condition and the playing pressure was mostly light around the course. We let a couple of single players through as they caught up but passed by use (two some) quickly so we had little golfing pressure from behind and never had to wait to tee off on any of the holes.
