Course is not in as good

I have played this course a few times in the past few years and I find that the course is not nearly in as good of shape as it has been . It needs work ,I hope that they will start taking some initiative and get it back into shape !

Not Worth It

Aggravating to book a tee time that would allow for 5hrs 35mins to finish and not get it in. Booked 1:08 tee time through GN. When I checked in the ticket said 1:15 time. Not a bother, still lots of time to finish!

We teed off at about 1:30, and because of the "regulars" that were being fit, in the course was saturated with golfers! I heard the starter tell a couple of walk-ons to go over and start on the back when you can jump in! Not Good enough! Would not recommend this course, and will not be back. GN hot deals golfers get treated as second class citizens at this course!

Nice public course at great price.

This is one of the most underrated public courses in the area. Compared to the city courses and some as far away as Pasco and Pinellas county, it does a good job of keeping the fairways and greens in above average condition. And the price is the same or lower than most. No driving range and not very scenic, but worth $25.

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

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.
