North dale golf course

Best course experience in Florida. Played in the mid afternoon heat and got around under 2.5 hours! Not the 4 to 5 hours the last two courses were! Staff was great bar restaurant personal were fantastic. Enjoyed everything! Rough might have been trimmed but that is all!

Pace of play

First time playing here, played as a two-some, my wife and I. The greens were recently air-rated, but not too bad.

Loved the layout of the course!

We had a 5-some in front of us and a 6-some in front of them. You would think they would allow a 2-some to play through!!!!! It started on the first hole, very long day, basically had to wait before each shot.

Did not see a roving marshal the entire 5 hours!!

Yes, 5 hours!!!!!!!!!

The course is in horrible shape.

Not worth playing right now. The course is aerated and is basically just weeds. Don’t waste your money.

Train employees

My friend group was approached for having 6 guys together on a hole. That’s understandable, we made the correction and told the “ranger” we would abide by his wishes. Though we obliged, “ranger Rick” was extremely rude and unprofessional. It’s necessary that he learn how to speak to customers. This was my first time visiting this course and I don’t intend on returning. In addition, around hole 9 or 10, my friend ran into “ranger Rick” again. He was watching us throughout the shots taken at that hole. Not sure what the deal was, but he did a very poor job when handling our situation. Training should be addressed for this employee. We had tee times at 10:06AM and 10:16AM. Your employee knows about this exact situation, please perform the due diligence necessary for him to conduct his job duties appropriately. .

People in front of us played slow and the people behind us rushed us by playing fast so we didn’t have to take our time hitting our shots

What Happened

I've played here a number of times and it has always been in good shape. This time:

- greens punched without notice

-fairways in awful shape

-rough was unkept and unplayable

Overall it was very disappointing, and embarrassing seeing that I convinced my group to play at the course this time.
