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!!

Conditions

Extremely poor grounds' conditions. Lots of areas were really soft/mushy and extremely muddy on the fairways, on the rough, and even on some greens. A lot of the greens had some major sand patches, it felt as if the greens had sand-traps, and also lots of roughness and patches of grass.elevated from the normal grassy green. Lots of holes on the grounds and around many of the greens. I have loved playing Northdale Golf Course since day one I tried it, but I must say whoever is managing the course is doing an extremely poor job at it and is going to cause Northdale GC to loose a lot of its guests/patrons/members!

Not a nice place

This was the second worst course I’ve ever played. It was in terrible condition, and they still want a prime money to play there.

Looks like they are trying.

The layout of this course is great, but it looks like they are trying to rebuild the course. This is a great course to get out and play, but if your looking for great lies and greens you might want to look somewhere else.

Excellent ourse.

Excellent course. Needs work. Fairways bare in spots, greens patchy. Looks like being rehab.

Looking forward to playing there again once rehab is done.

Staff was awful.

Staff member in the pro shop was rude. I called ahead of time to let him know I was run 10 minutes behind (I spilled my breakfast all over the car and had to get out to clean it up.) he gave me a hard time about it running behind. I thought it be no big deal seeing as there were about 10 cars in the parking lot, half were probably staff members. I just left without playing.

Awful

Arrived for my tee time, mind you a single rider, and try to pair with a threesome and ride in the cart with someone I do not know. Guy behind the desk was absolutely rude, and condescending. The fairways were patchy, greens were burnt and covered in sand. For 37$ this course is garbage, and waste of money. If you play here good luck. HOTTRASH.
