Enjoyable Golf Day

We played Northdale several times each winter season. The course is in pretty good shape. Greens are slower than they used to be, but roll true. It is an enjoyable layout and excellent value for your money

Northdale

First time playing, was not expecting much but the greens were in great shape, rolling true. Fairways and rough were a little inconsistent but playable. Would play again,

Lazy starter

Like most courses in the Tampa area over priced , greens nice, tee boxes fine, too many bald spots in fairway , super play mostly because of poor starter skills

Slow, but fun course

Even with a 7:50 am tee time, the course was packed. Fortunately, the Marshall allowed me to start on the back 9, and there was no one there.

Fairways could use some love. But generally a fun layout, which is not a given in many FL courses.

I would play it again.

Waste of time

The staff were friendly. The course is not being maintained. The rough is over taking the greens. The rough is uncut, resulting in lost balls 5 yards off the fairway. Out of 18 tee boxes, one was okay. Played at 0902hrs on a Sunday morning. Play was backed up on every hole. 5.5 hour round. Show up to a tee box and find one group on the box, one in the fairway and one on the green. !5-20 min wait. Ranger came through once . He smiled and said there was nothing he could do. After round, found out three groups ahead were two groups of five players. I was told by player from three groups ahead that the 5-somes were fishing for balls in every pond and taking at least 20 minutes on every green. He told the Ranger who did nothing. My group of 12 had 3 tee times and we play fast. Anyone in our group starts screwing around the rest of us get on him quick and fix it. We will not be back and will spread the word of our experience. Don'twaste your time or money at Northdale.
