Fast round

We have played Northdale many times over the years. The course condition is improving this year. We played an extremely quick round today, which was nice. The layout is good and will not beat you up too badly. The course is straightforward. What you see is what you get. We always enjoy playing Northdale. We were disappointed to see some staff members not wearing masks inside today

Value for the money.

Got a $15 hot rate. So hard to be too critical. Greens in great shape. Fairways mown. Fun layout. Only had to wait on one hole. On course bathrooms were locked, not accessible. Still waiting on liquor license so no beer available in clubhouse restaurant after the round.

Poor condition

This is the worst I have ever seen a course in awhile. Undrivable cart paths. Poor tee boxes on the 16th there wasnt even a tee box it was in a temporary one because the original was underwater that you had to drive through on the cart path. Bumps everywhere on the path. It used to be a nice course but not anymore. No brakes on th carts themselves!! They should be charging $15 instead of the rip off $33 that they charge!!!!

Don't waste your money

Fairways are thread bare. Grass is sparse. Greens much too fast for amateurs. Used to love this course just 5 minutes from my house but won't be back. Huge disappointment.

Greens for the Pro's

The greens were pro level condition and lightening fast. The rest of the course was pretty good for the time of year.
