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.

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.
New ownership unaware of how to maintain good course conditions
This used to be a great place to play
It has hit rock bottom since new ownership has come in
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.
Not a good place
A friend and I played this golf course and will never play here again the course was in the worst shape of any place I have ever played the greens had dead patches all over them the green keeper had cut holes out of the green putting on them was impossible the fairways look like a mind filed this course is not in playable condition at all and yet they are still asking 50 dollars a round
Conditions sucked. Greens where sandy and burnt out, tee boxes overgrown and ugly
