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.

played here many times, always had fun. greens were a little off but it was worth the money.
Greens......Worst ever seen in my life!
Had to actually call the club house, 5 holes in, in order to get the on-duty Marshall to come out and do his job. The young fellow who picked up the call had the audacity to show little care for the situation.
The Club house was closed at 530pm, upon completion of our round with multiple groups still on the course. I ended up having a leak by a Tree.
Fairways are like a dirt road where grass has started to grow.
Never again!
Good course
Staff was friendly and course was wide open we played in under 3 hours. Greens were rough but ball rolled well, overall great experience.
3 of us had a tee time they paired us up with a singke which was fine EXCEPT they wouldn't give us 2 carts for the 3 of us, they made 1 of my 3 some ride with a STRANGER. The course wasn't busy AT ALL there were probably6-7 empty carts to use. Will not soend my $$ here. No customer service.
Desi duck
Play this course several times but it's going downhill there's hardly any grass on the fairways a lot of sand the greens are half burned out I'm not going to be playing again for a while and see if they improve it
review
Course conditions at Northdale Golf Club could stand some imporvements.....both the greens and the fairways were in need of attention. It's a fairly long course ( some 5200 yds ) from the forward tees, with lots of sand and water hazards...quiet challenging for a high handicapper.....it was tough breaking 100......
Good Value
Northdale is a good track, needs some TLC but over all it is a good value. Staff is great and the new carts are great
First time
First and last time playing here. Paid over $100 to play, they paired us with a 4th person and refused to give our 3rd his own cart. He had to ride with a stranger. The management just kept telling me how they make NO MONEY from the Golf Now app and that's why? No clue! Course was in horrible shape, greens were dry and CHUNKY. I'll spend the exrra few bucks for a course that's worth it.
Course going downhill
Course needs a lot of work. Fairways have large areas where there is little to no grass, some greens have large areas of no grass.
What Happened?
I have played this course consistently for @20 years. Just came back from 2 months away so I have not played it since last April and I could not believe how bad it had gotten. Something is very wrong here and I hope they can put it back to the way it was cuz it is a great golf course. If you played The Claw in the last 5 years, this is not quite that bad, so I'd call it The Paw.
Rough Shape
Course is in really rough shape. Greens are pretty bad. Cart paths have deteriorated. Overall in rough shape.
Good Value
Northdale has a lot to come up to as far as the course conditions, but access is always good and the staff and value are great.
greens need work
Greens in poor shape no digits on green fixed /sand traps are as hard as a rock could only use a puter to get out.No real out of bounds markers Course has not ever changed Holes are always the same its time for a change with this course.
Surprisingly Bad Conditions
It had been about a year since I played here and the conditions were worse than when I stopped coming here a year ago. Greens are like pool tables... hard as a rock and don't hold incoming shots. Aprons, especially in front of the greens were hard, baked, sand and clay.
Greens had been sanded but not smoothed out and there were sand piles everywhere. This course has an interesting layout and it's too bad the ownership will not invest in making it a nice course. I may try again in a year or two. In the meantime I cannot recommend playing here.
