Golfer Reviews
Bad
Greens are terrible. Very sandy and bumpy. The grass is so overgrown if you're not in the fairway, you'll probably lose your ball. Bunkers are either mud or have grass growing in them. Overall, just terrible.
Not Fun
Greens are sand, the rough is so high you’ll lose at least 2 balls that are barely off the fairway. Don’t believe the 5 star reviews because it’s a $30 course at best,
DONT GO HERE FOR FREE
I played here 3 months ago, and they had just sanded the greens. It was the exact same thing today terrible and covered in sand the first green has been a disaster for well over 10 years. The layout is really nice but the conditions are absolutely terrible if I could rate it less than one star i would. The fairway is just okay but dont be more than a foot offline or you will lose your golf ball. The guys mowing are always in the way too a real pain just going about their business without a care. The good news is a finished in about 2 hours because of not really putting maybe one or 2 greens. I wont be back for another 10 years if that.
Do not play
The fairways are okay, but that really the only decent thing here. No driving, the bunkers have grass growing in them if there is even sand. Most of the green are in not great shape with a lot of repairs needed. I’ll never be back. Definitely not worth the $63 I paid.
Great shape
This was the best I’ve seen this course look and play in a few years.
Much better than expected
Have played this course many times recently and the conditions were fair at best. But today the fairways were nice and green, and the rough mowed to a reasonable height. The greens are also improved. Great service at checin and in the bar. Check it out if you haven't played there in a while.
Good greens
I’ve played Northdale for many years and have had a love hate relationship with them. But I think they’re heading in the right direction, greens are quick but still need some work . The rough is fluffy and easy to lose a ball but that’s what you play for. I think it’s worth playing.
Great value course for the money.
First time playing this course and was very surprised by how green the fairways and greens were compared all the other $60-$80 per round courses we normally play. This will be our go to from now on. Only down side was no range for warm up. They do have a net to hit into but every 3rd hit ball leaks through and ends up in the pasture behind the net. Spent more tjme shaggjng balls than warming up.
Great value course for the price
Amazing layout and the course conditions while not comparable to a private course or a $150 tee time course, it’s still one of the best for the price range. While other cheap courses currently look like goat tracks, this one is actually staying in reasonable shape. Really fun course to play overall and I had a blast
Greens are coming along. Still a little bumpy but give them time.
Looking good
Course is in the best condition I’ve seen in a long time. Keep it up Northdale. My group has put this course back in our rotation because of the great condition and price.
On par
Great friendly staff. The course was enjoyable with a lot of par 4s with dogleg rights. Greens are slow and definitely need some TLC due to some dead spots on them and invasive weeds. Overall it was a fun place to play for the price.
