Northdale Golf Club

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.

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.

Overall the course is in good shape then you get to the GREENS (now to be fair it looks like they are trying to repair them) lots of bad spots and quite a few repairs. Still I will book this course again !

Great layout but greens and fairways poorly taken care of

Easily the worst maintained course I’ve ever played. Zero grass around the greens, fairways are either dead or dirt. Save your money and go to another course trust me

Perfect play layout is great not that many issues enjoy the course for the money

I’m no great player but the greens and fairways were in very poor condition.

We usually look forward to playing Northdale. The layout is both challenging and forgiving. Each hole has its own unique characteristics and are not forced to conform to the available space. However, this was the first time that we all felt the greens and fairways were in poor condition. Sandy and bare spots on the greens made for an unsatisfying experience. Finding grass consistently on the was fairways even more frustrating.

I’ve nmever played on a course in worse condition than Mapledale. I’ve been playing golf for 65 years.

course in rough shape, but still fun to play ,staff are great

You can see the improvements being made. The course is starting to get better. The new superintendent is doing a great job to bring the golf courses back to its old days.

I had a great time, started was very friendly and pro shop staff very friendly but spotter was very rude, I was playing alone on the back 9 and a group of 3 let me play through and after my first stroke the spotter can over and started very rudely telling me that I “ can’t just take a cart and skip holes and groups to play golf” insinuating that I hadn’t payed or played the front 9. My response was for him to ask the single behind me and she would verify my story. He replied “ sure she would” and went asked her. Well after that he didn’t come back and also didn’t apologize for assuming that I snuck onto the course.

The course was in terrible shape. There were so many bare areas and the greens had bare areas all over. I’ve played here so many times before and this was the worst I’ve ever seen it.

This course has gone completely off the rails. It has to be the worst golf course in the Tampa area right now. There are huge patches of sand and dirt all through the tee boxes, all through the fairways and even on the greens. If you hit a shot in the middle of the fairway there’s a 90% chance it’s sitting in dirt or dead grass. To make matters worse we didn't tee off until about 30 minutes after our tee time because of how backed up it was. Was supposed to tee off at 1:24 pm and didn't even get to play the 18th hole because it was too dark. Probably saved ourselves another miserable hole. Don't waste your time or money coming here for the foreseeable future.

The course is in awful condition. Wait until the grass is back and the greens are in better condition

I’ve been playing this course off and on for over 30 years and the current course conditions are deplorable. Greens, fairway, around the greens, tee boxes, it doesn’t matter where you are or pretty much which hole you’re on there are issues on every single hole. I would avoid the course right now unless you’re wanting just to play golf and not looking for decent conditions.
