Northdale Golf Club

Let me preface this by saying I believe the course is under new ownership to try and bring the course back to what it once was. Northdale used to be a prime spot to play golf and you can always be assured of quality/fast greens. I moved away from Tampa about 2 years ago and saw this deal and jumped at it. The opening tee box was pretty beat up but the green was a disaster. Bad looking patches, sand, black craters, just poor up keep.

Again I believe the course over the summer has underwent new ownership so let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and more importantly time to fix the golf course, but until that happens, I would not recommend Northdale at the present time.

This course was allowed to deteriorate. Keith has been brought back to put things right under the new ownership. He'll be earning every penny.

Wishing him luck, but the jury will be out for a while.

By all means, give it a try if you want to support the effort, but don't come with high expectations in the short term.

Fairways were really rough. Greens had been sanded and were very fast. Cart path has many potholes. Overall, the course could use some TLC. A bit sad, since we enjoyed the layout.

Stay in the fairways and you’ll have a chance. Greens are fast.

Sad to see conditions worsening at Norhtdale. If you thought it could not get worse, it has. IMHO they must be getting ready to develop this place? Otherwise why would they let it get this far out of hand?

I’ve never need too hard on this course. It’s cheap and I don’t expect a beautiful course with amazing greens and luscious fairways, but I do at least to expect the greens to have grass and not be torn up throughout. They must take reservations every five minutes. I paid for 18 but after 3.5 hours for 9 holes I was shot. I went out at 2pm on a Friday.

I’m going to take a break from here for awhile. Babe Zahara same price but better condition and a Ranger

Course in pretty good shape. Greens fast but some need work.

Played this course today am. Course in terrible shape! The worst I’ve ever seen it. Greens fast, but you have to avoid patches of cut out holes, sand traps on the greens and gouges implemented. Very hard to find a fair putt at times. Fairways were like playing on a wet muddy field. Hole #1 around green you need boots to get to green their is so much mud!! We paid $35 and it was too much!! Course not worth more thsn $20 if that. I will not be returning anytime soon. I highly recommend you stay away from this course unless you drink heavily prior. Not Good!

About a third of the fairways were rough , hardly any to no grass. Also about half of the greens had some repairs going on. Because of that, it was not crowded and had a good pace.

Not much to say that hasn’t already been said from other reviews, but this course has the worst conditions I have ever seen in all the years I’ve been playing. And they’re charging 45 bucks for it a round?? Either the current owners of the property are driving it into the ground to allow for more housing, or the manager and groundskeeper needs to be replaced. This is very sad because it’s a nice layout. I won’t be back.

The greens are 30-40% sand patches with divots. Good luck finding a 3 foot putt on grass. Better off holding a putting contest in parking lot. Close to my house, but I'll not be returning.
