Right off the plane

Landed in Tampa at 10am and booked 12:30 tee time(18mins) from TPA.

Arrived at 12:15 no warmup as the tee box was open and 4hrs later we were on our way back to condo.

Nice layout and greens were rolling…will be coming back again

Had fun

Course was fun to play. Group 2 in front told starter they knew the owner and played as a group of 5. If I was the starter, I would have said no way. Made for a very long round. Some people actually left. That was very frustrating. Otherwise course was fun an staff was excellent

Staff were great

Club pro Keith was very helpful to accommodate our group and get us off as near our tee time as possible

Course was in great shape after hurricane last sept 2024

Only first hole green had some issue but the rest of the greens were nice rolling

Would play this course again for sure

Pace of play was good

We were done in about 4 hours

Fast Greens

It was a great day to play golf. The course was pretty dry. The greens were quite fast. I like fast greens. A couple of greens had some disease on them. #1 was the worst and when I got there I was hoping the rest of the course wasn't as bad, It wasn't. There were only 2 greens I remember having problems. I think the guy cutting the pin placements was being funny. On #8, the pin was at the top of a ridge. If you missed the hole, it rolled 15 feet to the edge of the green and then 5 feet off the green. LOL It was like the US Open.

There were a couple of tee boxes that could be improved. One of them was mostly dirt and another had a big crown.

All in all, it was a great time. I will be back

Staff is Rude and Lie!

DON’T play at this course! Our threesome had a 10:06 tee time but starter kept saying we had a 10:15 because he put a fourth with us that had a 10:15. You don’t push our tee time, he joins our 10:06. Then they added a group of 5 foursomes and put them in front of us.

Why even have tee times if they refused to honor them. I went inside to speak to manager but he wasn’t there. Front desk said they started at 9:00 because of the cold. Fake news, it only got down to 44 degrees. On the turn, foursome in bar said they started at 6:30. Manager should not hire liars.

Northdale has improved since last time we played it about 18 months ago. They have made the greens smaller tee boxes and fairways improved.

Bar and kitchen are open. Plan to go back a few times this winter!

Nice layout/Great value

The course is in very good condition aside from rookie golfers who don’t repair ball marks on the green. The greens are fast but fair and consistent from green to green.
