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.
our go to course!
Northdale has been our standby course for years! condition are always playable. staff is pleasant. great rates. We do not understand why it does not get more play but good for us! To our group Northdale is the best golf for the money in the greater Tampa area!
I didn't get a chance to play because I wouldn't finish in time to pick my wife up and they would not let me reschedule for a different date.
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.
side walks are terrible. Bunkers are the worst ive seen and fairways are just brutal. Nice greens and tee boxes. Pace of play usually is fast.
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.
great
tee boxes were under maint ... other than that course was great
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.
