Decent course but slow

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.

Good per usual

Course was in good condition as usual. Great value for the money. Played after a hard rain so the course was a little wet, but played well. Doing some small cart path construction. Some weeds on the greens, but over were in great shape. Be back again soon.

good value

This is a better course than some reviews suggest. Yes, it has some rough edges and you may have to roll the ball in the fairways in places, but it is a good layout with good dogleg holes and some challenging shots to greens, which are well maintained and usually fast. And try beating the price in peak season.

Course condition needs attention

This was not a bad outing, but I was disappointed with course conditions. Tiny pebbles throughout the fairway affected the final resting place even when tee shots or approach shots were in the fairway - they sometimes veered wildly off into the rough after hitting these tiny rock-slivers. With so many Tampa-area courses to choose from, I would hope the course conditions would improve so Northdale can be an option in the future.

Very disappointing!

I normally love this course, and have played it many times.

The conditions have deteriorated considerably over the last few months, with the Tee decks and

Fairways almost unplayable.

Greens still OK, and they were just sanded.

This place needs help!

Not going back till things improve!
