Good value

The course was in decent shape. A few very challenging holes , water on 16 made it interesting. Fairways were decent, tees were fine, greens very fast. Played on Friday afternoon, pace was great. Overall a very good value for the money

Fantastic greens

Fairly flat Florida style course (around houses, etc), but I really enjoyed it. Conditions were good (with the greens being great) and everyone was friendly.

No range, but they do have a net to warm up into. I’ll be back.

Very nice course.

First time at Northdale and was pleasantly surprised. Fairly wide open fairways but a good challenge. Greens were receptive and rolled very nicely. Overall conditions were very good and it was a nice round of golf. The clubhouse staff was very welcoming. If you get a bite to eat don't miss the cheessteak. Seriously good!

Ok course to play when not wet.

Great Sunday Afternoon

They are redoing the tee boxes so you get a really nice deal. The temporary tee boxes make each hole about 20 yards shorter. Pace of play was great until I caught up with a 2 some following a slow 4 some, slowing the round to a craw. Still a fun afternoon of practice.

Tee boxes are being redone , Temporary tee boxes are being used so the course plays shorter and much easier. Course was in good shape water wise considering all the rain we had had. Greens were fast as usual but rolled true.

Nice, affordable course

Great course. Open layout . They did have a tournament that afternoon and the Marshall got on us about three times to hurry up, even though we clearly were making a concerted effort to increase our pace speed (our newer golfers dropped with their more experienced cart mates after one). We got it the first time dude, chill.
