Northdale Golf Club
About
Northdale Golf & Tennis Club remains one of the premier Tampa golf courses because of its affordable play, its use of water on 11 of 18 holes, bunkers, rolling undulations and contoured greens that really challenge players. Just 12 miles north of Tampa International Airport, this is a neighborhood golf course with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of your day. Renowned golf course architect Ron Garl designed the par 72, 6824-yard championship golf course. Northdale Golf & Tennis Club winds its way through 180 plus acres of property that is home to Brushy Creek and a series of small lakes and unspoiled wooded areas.

Greens getting better
The greens are getting quicker as they are watering and mowing more now prior to the snowbird blitz
Great value
Amateur golfer that golfs 3/4 times a month. Course was in pretty decent conditions considering the start of fall. Greens were real well maintained. Make sure to bring your putting game. Slick greens. Tee boxes were OK. Not all were pristine but more than not it was bearable. Given the cost of a round through Golfnow. I would definitely recommend a round for a friend looking for a great course at an affordable price.
Realistic expectations after hurricane
Surprised how well it was cleaned up. Only downside for the day was heavy sanded greens were slow. Northdale normally has true, fast greens. Next week will be better
Terrible
The course is in insanely bad shape they need to keep it maintained it was unplayable entirely but instead of shutting down the course they just kept it open grass wasn't cut in almost every other hole because of rain the course had been trashed from other careless golfers never the less will not be back due to lack of how they maintain this place and they won't take my money twice
Need some maintenance
This place needs some maintenance ASAP, it'sin a very bad shaped. Is not worth the money.
Northdale Golf
Northdale is always a good value with moderately challenging holes. It's a solid B+ course in the Tampa area.
Consistent
Northdale keeps their greens in above average shape. Running 10 plus. Fairways are a challenge for them.
Staff has always been friendly and I have a great time there.
Price is always fair which results in a more crowded course and play follows along with the crowd.
The course itself has some nice holes, but overall rated as average as they work with what they have.
Terrible condition.
Greens were ok but the fairways were terrible. No comparison to other top courses. Not worth 30 dollars a round. Worth 15 on condition of course.
Great Course for a Golf Now Hot Deal
I will play it again on another GolfNow Hot Deal but would not pay full price. It's a nice course but not well kept. It's a shame because it could be a nice course. Pace of play was very good because I played on a weekday afternoon. I hear it's brutal on the weekends.
Never again !
Bought a hot deal at 2:52. Wouldn't let us on course until 3:20. Then told us to drive back through people and start on sixteen. Where someone was teeing off. So went back to seventeen. Got three holes in before it started raining. No thanks. Won't be going there again.
Great course
Best part about this course was the greens, not fast but not slow. A few blind tee shots. The course was sneakily challenging with a lot of narrow fairways. Would definitely go back!
Course could use maintenance
Course was good for the money paid, but it was a hot deal. Greens, fairways, tee boxes could all use maintenance other than that, go hit 18 for the price.
Great time
Played 18 holes in 2:45. Kids under 16 play free, so I brought my son and had a lot of fun. Greens rolled great, tees and fairways were a little rough because it's been so dry. Staff was very courteous and helpful. I will definitely return for a quick weeknight round.
Greens were in excellent condition!
The greens were in excellent shape. The fairways were good and the rough was decent. Overall, it was a good day of golfing and would recommend the course to anyone.
good day to play
found course to be a pleasant layout with holes of varying degrees of difficulty. The staff was friendly and tee time s were on schedule. Condition of the course was above average and greens were very puttable.
apart from first tee, greens ran fast and true, staff was awesome
Worst experience ever
The fairways were like concrete took a toll on playing the full 18 was glad when it was over. Iv'e played here at least 3 times a year for over 20 plus years I won't be back. After the front nine I got to #10 and found 3 foursomes waiting to start their round. I was told they just closed the front for maintenance - what gives here . I left never to return!
