Much improved

I golfed here a couple of years ago and swore that I would never go back due to the condition of the course. After reading several recent reviews, I decided to give it another try. The greens are in much better shape, and the Fairways have also improved, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Excellent conditions

When looking at the course map on The Grint, the course looked beat up & worn down, but recent reviews said all good things about the recent conditions and boy were they right! Had a blast & shot well!

Good course

Staff were terrific!. Starter and Rangers were on point. Cart Lady was frequent. Conditions were good for this time of year. Will play again. Only problem. The bathroom was filty. Get a Biohazzard suit on before entry. Nasty prior to start and nasty at the turn. Find a tree.

Slowish

Elements of the course are still needing some work but overall it looks and plays quite nice. Pace was a bit slow although may have been due to a very slow 4 ball a few holes in front. Front 9 was 1 hour 20 mins, but back nine was close to 2 hours for 2 ball on a midweek afternoon? That said we would play again though.

First Time - Liked the Course

Great value for the money. The course is challenging. Pace of play was good. We had a twosome in front of us who held things up but it wasn't the course's fault. Course in good condition compared to others we have recently played. Will be playing there again soon.

Getting Better Every Day

I had seen past reviews of this course and they were not stellar. Times have changed. As with any course there is a bump or two but one could tell this course has been transformed. New ownership has done a great job. Greens were perfect, fairways were in great shape. The rough was the rough, but after all it is the rough ! Cost wise for the time of year it was on point. Only negative was the cart dying in front of the 18th green, well it almost made it. The jewel was staff. Every single person we encountered was smiling, pleasant, helpful, and a joy to deal with. Double check directions if you havent been there before, gps was acting up. In total great club that we will go back to often !!

review

The overall conditions at Northdale was very good....nice fast greens, wide fairways cut close with minimal bare spots. However, it's a difficult course for the high handicapper, even from the forward tees.....bring plenty of balls as there is lots of water hazards that will catch a stray shot....well worth the drive from Port Richey....

Robin on Northdale Improvement

The course has improved greatly over the last year steadily thru strong greens management and overall course TLC

The greens tee boxes fairways are the best I’ve seen

In 35 years. The greens, fringe are definitely a B+, fairways B. Sand trap bunkers have also improved.

I’m impressed with new ownership that actually followed thru on promises unlike the previous 3-4 owners who left course in worse condition.
