Northdale Golf Club

It's back 9 only, greens are punched and slow as you know what. Pace was so slow I only played 9, waiting 10 to 15 minutes each shot. No mention on golf now about this!

They just punched the greens so that is what it is. The surprising part is other than that this course is gone so far downhill and just 30 days it’s basically just a cow pasture every kind of weed you can imagine and Clover lots of burnt out spots in the fairways just skip it.

Btw I ask the guy in the pro shop what happened & he said new ownership ran out of money.

Overgrown and unkempt fringe, putting area and rough. Surfaces were hard and tee areas difficult to place a tee.

The greens are very nice the rest of the course needs a lot of work.

Booked a solo tee time at 11:45. Hit the grill before check-in, staff was friendly and the BLT was cash. Club house was chill, they weren’t busy so he told me I would go with a pair that booked at the same time as I did, or not, my choice.

The course itself is of course dry with little to no fairway grass to speak of. It’s like hitting off concrete in some places, but to fault them for that isn’t fair. We haven’t had rain in the Tampa area in weeks. Still, the tee boxes and greens could be loved a little more as they need a lot more than just water.

Pace of play wasn’t great. No one was behind me but traffic on every hole in front of me, again, not the courses fault. No cart girl or water coolers so bring cold snacks accordingly.

Layout is decent. Water on 11 of 18 holes I believe, with a really cool par 3 ‘island’ on the front 9. Not the funnest layout I’ve ever played, but not vanilla either.

Overall, I lean 7.1/10 with it. Not bad, but not great either. Will play again.

Its has been over 3 years since I play here, and I live at about 10 minutes away.

Last time, pace of play was just terrible, T-boxes and fairways and greens needed some serious attention.

Fast forward to today, well, nothing much has change.

First: there is no ranger you pay and just go and try to tee off, there would be at least 4 groups waiting.

The groups on front os us, hit at least 3 balls each on most of their shots.

The course is really not exciting at all, if the greens t boxes and fairways where taking care of it could be., add someone to speed up people.

But nope not the case you would just has to wait on the t-box on every shot, today they had some kind of tournament going on, si that did not help.

I’m always amazed how many people who can not get off the t-box choose to play from the tips, I mean I get it you pay to play, but damm hit one ball and move on.

One good thing, they renovated the bathrooms on the golf course, oh course you would has to call the club house if you want to use then, as you will need a code. Here is a free tip, write the code on the score card.

The guy who is taking the cars in to charge and clean then, he needs some serious people skills.

I was dropping the car off, and this dude a white dude with a goatee, came flaying full blast, and turn while stopping to skid the car, getting next to this asian looking older men, and say (Why did you change cars) the guy was kind shock this dude almost hot his car where he was putting his golf bag.

The tone was very condescending and rude..!

So, don’t bother with this place there lots of good golf courses around,

Also I shot a 72 so no I’m not bitter is just an honest review.

The pace of play was very slow. Took almost 5 hours to finish the 18 holes.

I’ve played this course several times, but now it looks neglected... fairways and greens in need of some improvements

Course conditions were really dry since the Tampa area hasn't had rain in a while. Most holes had sand traps strategically placed. Great value for a fun, challenging time.

the course needs mowing and some of the greens need attending too.

A little annoyed to show up to no starter and 4 groups lined up at the first tee box. Started over 30 minutes after my tee time and the round took over 4 hours to play. Otherwise course was in good shape.
