Northdale Golf Club

Played this course in the past and have never seen it in such bad shape. I know you cannot control the rain but it was terrible. Almost unplayable, Cart path only and it’s still to wet. When you hit what you think is a great shot but can’t find your ball because it’s plugged deep in the ground that’s a problem.

I am honestly shocked at my experience at this course. First the course was so we and sloppy it shouldn’t have even been open. If they were going to open, they should have let customers know how bad the course was beforehand and possibly offer some type of discounted rate. Secondly the staff was extremely rude. The ranger was extremely unprofessional, yelling at us from across the course and being aggressive with us when we were very apologetic for driving off the cart path (by less than 10 feet to a high dry area). He was dressed unprofessional and acted unprofessional. I will never return to this course.

Northdale should not have been open this past weekend due to the amount of rain received over the last few weeks. We lost golf balls hit in the middle of the fairway due to the grass being so long. No one can control the weather, but to charge full rates for that experience is unacceptable. We found a high dry area to drive the cart on as we were in the process of trying to find our golf balls in the fairway, and the Ranger literally screamed at us in a way that will prevent us from going back. Northdale should be embarrassed and the punk Ranger who tried to use the Ranger tag on the front of his cart to belittle paying customers should be fired.

This used to be my go to course. Was always a good value for the condition but unfortunately can no longer say that. I understand weather played a factor but this course looked horrible today. Not to mention one of the holes literally didn’t have a fairway cut. My playing partner and I both hit dead center “fairway” and still had to walk around for 5 minutes looking in the deep grass to find the ball. This course seems to have gone down hill since being sold. Looks like I will be finding a new home course

When I arrived they told me we could not use electric carts or push cars. They would not refund my money or give me a rain check. The conditions were terrible very muddy and wet the golf course should’ve been closed. The Guy at the front desk was rude and I did not give me respect.I did not appreciate that I was with Golfnow either. I would greatly Thebes experience a F,

I will not return unless I apologize and/or reimburse me!

This is without a doubt the worst course in Tampa. New owner has let this course fall apart. Woke up and decided since previous groups drove off cart path on cart path only day everyone would walk from then on. This course has poor tee boxes, worse fairways and is the wettest course ever made. I would pay 100 dollars and play TPC tampa before I paid 3 dollars to play this course. If I could I would give it 0 stars.

I went on a day after we had plenty of rain the course does not drain well at all. Soggy drenched fairways and i am glad I only paid $14 I feel bad for the other players who paid over $20 for it.

The course was in poor condition as are the properties around most of the course. Lots of rain has not helped the badly deteriorating cart paths. The course doesn't seem to have very good drainage and because of that the rough was so shaggy that you could lose a ball six inches off the fairway. It was cart paths only for the same reason and I would probably never play the course again. The fairways and greens were ok but both needed some attention that it seems they had not gotten for too long.

The clubhouse staff was good Greens were ok They need to mow the lawn, 1 foot off the fairway and the grass is 8 inches long in a lot of spots. Not fun

Front was good. Back was cart path as lots of water...

But still playable..

I’ve now played this course 4 times over 4-5 years and I’ve never had a good experience. Today, the course was completely underwater and borderline unplayable. Someone had called the day before and asked if they mowed the grass before recently and he said they had mowed the grass that day. This was not the case at all, if you hit the ball more than 3 inches into the rough, there was a very good chance you could never find your ball again. Would not recommend to anyone.

Course has plenty of grass but rough is penal. Greens are in good shape and putt true but on the slow side.

The course was very wet in spots due to rain the previous day....it made playing out of the rough very challenging....it was best to keep the ball in the fairway, which were just fine as were the greens...A fun course and good value ...I will return.....

The course was wet which was to be expected with all the rain. The tee boxes were in great shape. Best I have seen them in awhile. Greens were nice. Quick, once they dried out. Fairways had grass but was mostly crab grass or weeds. But overall the course is coming along nicely. Restaurant is still closed and the sprinklers got turned on when I was on the 4th tee. But the new owners are doing a good job.

Course is showing improvement. Greens are smoother and balls rolls well. Slow but it’s hot and wet so that’s to be expected. The holes edges seem to be sharper, maybe new equipment used?

Tees are in good shape as well. Fairways and rough are ok but the course is so wet from rain which has to earn a pass. Today they were putting in new ball washers and hole signs on each tee. Nice touch. Definitely going in the right direction. Been playing here for a year and the conditions are very encouraging despite the heat and rain. Course is nice layout just needs some TLC and I think it’s getting it now.

Shoutout to Austin in the pro shop. Knows the regulars and very personable.

Personally moderately challenging and good layout. However the roughs are very thick and ungroomed. I’d recommend more attention to the rough areas because we difficulty finding and losing golf balls.
