Good value

Had a great time today. Pace of play was pretty quick on a Friday morning. All the bunkers could use some love with how worn out they are but otherwise a good time today. I was last here about half a year ago and it’s still a fun course to play. Easily a recurring course in my lineup.

review

Over-all conditions at Northdale were very good....fairways cut close and nice and wide, greens also cut very close and fast...my only complaint was that the sand traps ( and there are many ) needed attention......also water hazards come into play from even the forward tees ( at 5200 yds ),,,,,so your golf shots had to be pretty good.....looking forward to returning there again soon as the price ( $30 ) and the tee time ( 10 am ) were better than most places......

Better than the last time

The course is in fair condition. Bunkers/traps are terrible. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were okay. The rough was as expected nothing too bad. Hopefully the new owners will make the improvements necessary to resurrect this once great course. I like playing here because it’s close to home.

Gem in the Rough

A favorite course for the value. TEE boxes and FAIRWAYS are well maintained, but the rough is ROUGH so keep your eyes on your balls. GREENS are smooth and rolled, despite the dirt patches and multiple grass type that will impact putting speed. BUNKERS are overgrown with weed and relatively hard, hence no rake. CLUBHOUSES is in good shape. GOLF SHOP (Not-Pro Shop) doesn’t have much selections. STAFF is very friendly, but bring water, as I have NEVER seen a beverage cart or refresh water station. Parking lot and Tennis Courts needs a lot of TLC given the beautiful houses throughout the course.

Getting better, but good value.

Greens, tee boxes and Bunkers can all use work. Bunkers are currently treated as Ground Under Repair and rightly so. Considering the course conditions at the start of the year, a lot of work has been done and overall very good value vs. most weekend early morning prices. Keep up the good work.

Better Than 3.0 Rating

I’ve been hesitant to play this course due to the negative reviews. Overall, I was surprised as the greens and fairways were in good condition. A few greens are in poor condition — but it appears that management is repairing and not neglecting these. Will be back.

Better than expected EXCEPT Bunkers

Hadn’t played in a while due to negative reviews. Heard it was better, so tried a Hot Deal. It was decent for a Hot Deal price. Bunkers are horribly overgrown with weeds, so a solid chip gets caught up in the weeds on the way out. Overall the fairways were decent and the greens still have some sand from punching but we’re rolling pretty well..

Ehhhhhhhh

Greens were punched a few days ago, and of course they didn’t mention that at booking. The course was in horrible shape. Even if the greens were rolling pure the rest of the course was still horrible. There was a Marshall on nearly every other hole checking on pace of play. I think they could use that money on fixing the course instead of Marshalls. Would certainly not recommend.

Course Rangers and amenities ruined our Day! No Water on the whole course in 95 Degree weather? Never play here again

We play as a group of 4, after the ranger came up to us after 8 holes and asked us to play faster and catch up the 3 group in front of us. We politely acknowledged him. 4 more time we were push and watched by the course Rangers (2) of them to play faster! Several times we approached the next tee box and the team of 3 in front of us was still in play. We could not play any faster! Then it dawned on us it was the group behind us complaining! Look we all paid our money and have just as much right to play the course as and regulars. Needless to say We will not be back and We will tell everyone about the course being a joke! This was not golf etiquette!!!!!! We were playing at the rate of play! The ranger should of told the people behind us just that and not push us to play faster just so we could wait at the next Tee box! Give Us back our money back!!!!!!

Also- NO WATER COOLERS ON THE WHOLE COURSE IN 95 DEGREE WEATHER! even the ball washer were dry! I mean WTF are you paying for? Very. Bad amenities!

WE WILL NEVER PLAY HERE AGAIN! AFTER OUR FIRST TIME PLAYING HERE AND WE WILL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!

Great course

First time playing while my other two in the party had already played here once, amazing course. Excited to visit the other sister courses, love how it almost didn't feel like a Florida course.

Dehydration Station

No coolers allowed, no water available on course, and never saw a beverage cart… almost passed out by hole 15. Conditions were poor but I did enjoy the layout. Don’t recommend but it’s affordable and the ball flew when I hit it.

Alright

I’m Spanish.. I feel that in the US the courses are not as in shape as they should be. The course was good and I found it to be cheap in relation to others. The layout is fun and nice. I hope they keep taking care of the course as it says in the reviews. I will be coming back because it’s good value
