Northwood Hills

Fun track. Had three holes down at the moment, but worth the drive from Ruston. Got lost a couple times but was a great course. Lots of hidden shots and elevation changes. Solid course.

Would not recommend

I drove three hours to play on this course. I played on the first and second hole and when I got to the third hole one of the workers came running and yelled that the course was under construction. There were no signs put up and we were not informed by the front desk before we started. In total I played three holes when I paid to play 18 holes and refused to give us a refund. I would not recommend and will never go back.

Course is half closed

This used to be one of my favorite spots in the area. Went back a few weeks ago and as I was paying, they mentioned that they were having trouble with their greens and a number of their holes were closed, and that we would have to play a random assortment of 9 holes twice. This was inconvenient, but we figured we would give it a run. The course was in very rough shape. Something happened to the greens and it seems like they completely gave up trying to maintain anything. I wouldn’t touch this place until you verify they are fully open and have made proper repairs to the areas that have been neglected.

Course Should be closed

The course was under major repair, and made 8 holes unplayable because they didn’t have a green. No work was put into fairways or tee boxes. I recommend this course be closed until it’s under new management.

Greens or lack of greens.

The greens were nonexistent. They need to oil them and they would be better than what they have now.

No greens

Tee boxes were weedy and overgrown. Greens were horrible. They were recently plugged and sanded but many greens had no more than 25% grass coverage. The rest was bare ground covered in sand. Putting was impossible. Hit the green and pick up the ball. I played this course years ago but it's in pretty rough shape now. Unfortunate
