Great Value
Really enjoyed the course layout. I played from the tips. Greens were very good in fact, best in the area (fast) with the exception of TPC when they’re at their best. Very much worth the $. Not super pretty but nice. I would play it again.
Great course for the money
Great shape and design. Blue tees are a challenging distance. Fun to play and a great value.
Nice Course Generally with Quick/Smooth Greens
This course has good variance on distance to par 3's, par 4's and 5's. Some water, some fairway bunkers, trees in play. Greens have undulations, one to two are extreme depending on pin location.
Fairways were a little soft due to recent rains but were cut as well as the rough. Not much sand in the traps.
Greens had just been fertilized with the tiny granules. But overall were still quick and rolled smoothly...biggest problem on the greens were a couple of foot draggers somewhere up ahead of us.
Bring your MF swim trunks. Its underwater
The back nine should have been closed. It’s just too wet. Anxious to play it in a dry season.
Course does not drain well, very muddy and no driving range
Do not play after rain
To be fair, this course is very nice and has a fun and challenging layout. I would never play this course after a strong rain though. When we played it had rained the night before and it was cart path only, this i have no problem with but, the course was so wet it seemed like literally every ball plugged. On a brighter note the greens rolled very nicely and that made the round a bit more enjoyable. Its worth a play just not when it is wet.
Great Staff
Friendly staff. Course is pretty worn out. Cart paths are pot holed and hard to ride on. Pretty messy all around but not terrible. Greens were slow but not bare-holed. Course doesn’t drain great. For a cheap rate, it’s a fun experience. Definitely targeted for a lower price point, which isn’t bad. Again, staff is awesome and very friendly.
Good Course
Northdale has a classic layout feel. The holes are interesting and the course is challenging. My only recommendation is don’t play when wet. In those conditions, which I have played on multiple occasions, it plays much longer and the course retains water.
Good conditions and value
2nd time playing northdale. Course is a little brown but overall was I n pretty good shape, fairways were good, and greens rolled very smooth. The course layout isn’t very difficult but overall it was a good round and for $20 it’s a good value for the money!
Nice Changes
Gotta give credit where credit is due. This course had gotten very run down. I was very pleasantly surprised today by the conditions of the tees and greens which were VERY good, and the fairways, which are GREATLY improved. If 3.5 stars was an option, that's what I would give. If things continue in this direction, it is definitely 4 stars.
There is a nice variety of holes here, and the prices are fantastic!
Nice course
Nice course that runs through and old neighborhood. Pretty forgiving layout, with room for miss hits. Overall a nice course for the money, and good practice areas.
Good value for the money
Good value for the money
If you can get this course on a hot deal it is worth it. The layout is good and the green complexes are as well but both the greens and fairways need grass growth. Fairways are rockhard in places and can result in ugly bounces. Bunkers need work and need to be raked More frequently than bi monthly. There is no driving range here but a “hitting net“ with about five stations
