Greens are in terrible shape

Greens are in terrible shape. One of the things that was stressed on the website is how great their greens are, but they were in terrible shape and have been sanded recently. The fairways had a lot of rough patches. The bunkers were hard as concrete but that might have been because of the rain. The golfers in front of us didn’t ever rake the traps so there were a lot of footprints as well and no ranger to keep the pace of play. There is no driving range- just a net to hit your own balls into and collect them with three spots to hit from. Overall it was very disappointing.

Nasty fairways

Tons of weeds in the fairway and also embedded in the greens. Had a six some that we had to go around. Needs a lot of TLC. Bad maintenance.

Friendly Staff

We were on vacation and rented clubs . The very friendly staff set my son and I up with sets of clubs, and got us to the first tee without incident. The waitstaff was warm and friendly and helped to make our first experience at this course a great one!

Poor conditions

Needs attention. Tee boxes have little to no grass, with tree roots exposed on some boxes. Fairways are soggy, yet no rain recently that I’m aware. Greens are full of ball marks and some have dead spots. It has potential.

Great value

This course has had its ups and downs over the years but it now is in fairly good shape with quickish greens. Fairways are sparse in spots but improving. Some fairways have been narrowed, a good improvement. Great bang for the buck.

Northdale Golf good winter conditions

Nice conditions this time of year. Summer conditions on this course is less desirable, because the drainage is not very good during the rainy season. It’s a long course and it is laid out well, greens are in good condition, but they are sloped.

I’m sure it’s not always like that but I played a 6 hour round, estimating 15 min waiting at each tee box.
