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.

Great Experience!
This was my first time at the course and the staff was the friendliest I've met at any course. From the design, pace of play and overall conditions - this course is a great time and well worth the cost.
Needs some care
It has been a few years since playing Northdale. Reason being because of some of the reviews. They were true. Most greens were ok but the 18th was 15% bare dirt spots. The fairways were fine but anywhere outside of the short grass and it was spotty grass and weeds. But the price was right on Golf Now and it was better than going to work on a beautiful day in Tampa Bay.
I have played this course many times through the years. I have been staying away because the course had really been run down. Still not in great shape but I am encouraged by the progress from the last time I played there a few months ago. As long as you can get a good rate on golf now it is worth playing. I still would not pay $40 or $50 to play there.
Run Down
The course is very run down and just not taken care of. Will most likely not play here again and check out other local options instead. We were left disappointed.
Upgrade
There's alot of work that needs to be done in order to return this course to its former glory. They are trying as the greens show by being real bumpy and sandy. I love the layout here and the scenery. I'll wait and see what will become of this course.
Conditions have improved over the past 2 months. The condition of green on the first hole has always been problematic but the next 16 greens were much better. The layout is worth the trip.
Needs more love
Course has a great layout and great potential - however it’s got a lot of burn from tee box to green. Kids play free so that lessened the blow of the conditions but it won’t have a replay again for me.
Course
I played here a few times and enjoyed it.The price is good,but need maintenance to work on freeways and greens. It a beautiful course layout, but it needs work.
Not For Me
Pace of play was terrible. I left after 11 holes. The group ahead of me was a foursome with three sets of clubs. What is the deal that. Greens need a lot of work.
Course is in shambles do not play
The superintendent was fired for cost cutting and the course looks like it has not been maintained in 2 years!!! Massive holes dry patches everywhere and bumpy greens! Absolutely a waste of money!!!
Needs work
It’s a very nice layout. Enough challenge without being silly. Most of the greens are nice but a handful are almost unplayable including the first hole. A couple others are not even worth putting on Red flags usually mean front pin position. Blue for the back. Not here, very confusing!! Staff friendly and professional from the pro shop to cart guy and bartender. nice electric carts(no GPS) Get the greens and fairways fixed up and maybe I’ll be back. Like it is? Nope!!
