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

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.

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!
