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
Not great for night golf
It could be a decent par-3 course if more than half the lights were actually on and working. Most of the time, we were hitting into darkness. Play during the day or find a different night golf course because this one will make you sad.
Tee Tome Management @ Too Fast Greens
We played the course on Sunday, 3 March 19 with a 9::07 TeeTime. The course had a starter, but told us that getting us off with a 45 minute delay should be considered great compared to their normal delalys. This is unacceptable, and I will not book anothyTee time this type of course Management or the lack there of.
All would have been fine for the pace of play, but why would you ever cut your greens to a 12 or higher fior recreational golfers. This should never be done, and it slows down pace if play for good to average golfers.
Fun, golf and sun!
Found the staff to be extremely friendly. Made you feel welcomed. Some of the hole were tricky. Will certainly return.
Northdale Golf Course
Even though it had rained quite heave over night the course was still playable. Very few fairways that we could not drive the cart up to the ball. Staff extremely friendly.
Great day
We played Northdale again today and had an excellent day. Course was in very good condition. Greens are always quick here. We had 1 group in front of us and never saw anyone behind us. Pace was excellent today and we finished in 3 1/2 hrs. I enjoy the course and would definitely come back
Pay attention to the details!
There were few ball washers on the course and those that were available were old. The few rakes for the sand traps were very old and should be replaced. The water container at the firth tee was empty at 11am. The parking markers in the parking lot should be painted; I ran over one since it blended in with the concrete.
