About
Northdale Golf & Tennis Club remains one of the premier Tampa golf courses because of its affordable play, its use of water on 11 of 18 holes, bunkers, rolling undulations and contoured greens that really challenge players. Just 12 miles north of Tampa International Airport, this is a neighborhood golf course with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of your day. Renowned golf course architect Ron Garl designed the par 72, 6824-yard championship golf course. Northdale Golf & Tennis Club winds its way through 180 plus acres of property that is home to Brushy Creek and a series of small lakes and unspoiled wooded areas.

Needs a lot of work.
This course used to be nice. Well kept greens and fairways. I was there today and wow, was I disappointed. First off... it’s Sunday and no starter. Just get in line. So i teed off about 20 minutes later than my tee time. The fairways were awful. Very patchy and inconsistent types of grass. Sometimes hitting off of dirt. The rough was even worse. The ONLY thing this course had going for it were the greens. They were in fairly good shape with a few exceptions (that’s why I gave it 2 stars overall). For the same price or another 5-10 bucks, I could have played on a MUCH better course. I do not recommend playing here.
Awesome greens
The greens play was worth the price of admission. Unfortunately we got stuck behind some slow players then the guys behind us decided they were going to rush us. Saturday is not the day to play here but maybe a weekday would be good.
Still a pretty nice place to play
I used to play here pretty frequently when I lived closer. Had occasion to be nearby so thought I'd go back. The course was in pretty good shape, but I would say the greens were inconsistent. Fairways well maintained and cut tight. It's a fun course with a few unique hole layouts. I'd recommend it if you've never played it.
Very friendly and courteous staff.
Food was excellent with great service.
Poor conditions
Course is in poor shape from tee to green. Will not be back!
Great Old Course
Only downside is no Driving range. Good putting green practice area.
No course management with tee times
It just seemed liked everyone had the same tee time because it took forever to finish the front 9 and we only got through 14 because of the amount of groups playing. It was too congested.
Run from Ron
I was told as a kid "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything".
..... ... ...
...ok, so I'll just say this. If you see a course has Ron Garl as the course architect of record... play somewhere else. He seems to be the Johnny Appleseed of golf course design in Florida. Every time I get suckered into playing one of his abominations I am in disbelief of how someone in the design business could actually sustain a career building courses totally devoid of thought, creativity, shot value, and beauty. He does love lakes sticking into landing zones hidden from view, repeating the same green complexes throughout 18 holes, and par 5's with the required tee shot being a blind 50 yard slice to get into the fairway- oh, but again there may be a hidden pond somewhere out there. OK I'm done venting. Out!
Need a little work
Pace of play was horrible. Had some elderly sneak off the back which slowed play for the group that started on the 1st tee.... unbelievable. It would be different if they were hitting it straight and playing quick... 10 to 15 shots to get to the green.... what a frustrating back nine which resulted in us just leaving the course...
should be better
main complaints would be awful bathrooms--worst I've seen. trash not picked up from containers although they at least now have containers (and ball washers). cart paths need plenty of work. did not try new dining facilities which just opened (no alcohol yet) but anticipate good food with new Chinese menu. course in as good a shape as has been for quite a while. greens were pretty fast (been dry).
