Northdale Golf Club
About
Northdale Golf & Tennis Club remains one of the premier Tampa golf courses because of its affordable play, its use of water on 11 of 18 holes, bunkers, rolling undulations and contoured greens that really challenge players. Just 12 miles north of Tampa International Airport, this is a neighborhood golf course with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of your day. Renowned golf course architect Ron Garl designed the par 72, 6824-yard championship golf course. Northdale Golf & Tennis Club winds its way through 180 plus acres of property that is home to Brushy Creek and a series of small lakes and unspoiled wooded areas.

Disappointing
Staff was friendly. This really was the end of a positive experience. A very long 5+ hours round that had us waiting on pretty much every shot. No rangers to be found. Seems to me there was too many people jammed on the course. A few greens in awful condition, especially first hole. Bunkers were in very poor condition. Hardly any sand and some there were no rakes at all. Not that you could rake hard packed greens. Really seemed to be absence of consistency in greens keeping. Possibly cost cutting. Disappointing time spent , though the threesome I joined were from the area and very friendly and accommodating. They were also first time and disappointed. Fix your ball marks people.
Ranger Danger!
Our foursome played the last 2 Fridays and we won’t be back anytime soon! Rangers harassed multiple groups on the course to keep pace. 2:05hr wasn’t fast enough for the front 9 on a full course. The same ranger on his second gripe fest said he needs people to finish early so he can play fast a 1pm after work! The ranger on the back said go to other courses if your don’t want to be harassed. It’s a shame!! No rangers for years and now 2 a-holes! It’s a shame because Karen and the ladies in the bar restaurant are so awesome. They’ll be missed.
Not bad for the money
Layout is fun, some challenging holes. Couple of greens in rough shape. Bar/lounge is a good time, food is good.
Greens
Some greens had some bad stops. No problem. Just move your ball. It’s not PGA. extremely friendly place. Overall you’re going to like it.
Nice track. Friendly staff
The only negative point is the Green on home number one. The rest of the course is really good
Pass
There’s been frost delays for the past two weeks. They decided to still take in money and just tell you sorry you’re teeing off 35 minuets late. That translated to NOT finishing with a 12:45 tee time we ended up leaving after hole 15 at 5:40. Unacceptable. 50% of the greens are unplayable. Based on this experience I would never play here again
Terrible management
I don’t think I’ve ever written a review so hear me out. I have been golfing here whenever there’s no other options for the past 8 years. Course has never changed. Pretty sure the greens have been “punched” every time I’ve gone. Greens are always terrible. Giant patches of dirt every time I go. Prices have gone up with no changes. First hole is a par 5 and the hole is a giant soccer golf hole in the middle of the fairway… so much for a par 5. I don’t know how any golfer could possibly play the first hole and say to themselves “This is worth my money”. Keep in mind prices were still rising even with the first hole being this way for a year. Used to come with my girlfriend and she would be a rider. Apparently they don’t accept riders in the cart anymore starting today. Place keeps going downhill but where is all the money going? That’s the bigger question.
Great course -- great layout, great conditions
I was impressed with the starter, a very friendly gentleman, and was extremely pleased with the layout of the holes and good overall condition: great greens, great fairways, great tee grounds. I would get a membership at this course if I lived in the area as I would enjoy playing a few times every week.
First Time
course in good shape couple of greens need a little work but I could see they were addressing it. I enjoyed the round and will be back.
Northdale's back!
It's a great layout, the fairways and rough are good, the greens are fast. Pace was good, and I appreciate that they had a starter and ranger on course. Reminiscent of this course at its prime. Enjoy.
Need my money back
Course was in such poor conditions almost unable to play sand bunkers on the greens within feet of the flag and I mean multiple 6‘ x 6‘ sand pits all over the greens. You couldn’t even putt on them I feel like I was completely scammed by golf now pictures on the app look absolutely amazing almost like it was AI would not recommend this to my worst enemy
Awful Ripoff
What a Dump !!, Greens have bare patches loaded with sand fill Fairways are dead, no overseeding. Bulldoze the Clubhouse & course with the same machine ,save money ........
Go elsewhere unless you are totally stupid to pay money for this junk.
Good course
I love the layout of the course. Maintenance is doing a great job on the course. The greens are fast in pretty good condition. The staff there are always very friendly. I would recommend playing there.
