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.

poor condition
course has a nice layout but in poor condition..weeds growing on greens half inch high, fairways were like concrete with minimal grass
Awesome course Forgiving and challenging
Very forgiving fairways the sand traps are in good shape. The greens are Very challenging and in Excellent shape
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 !
great value, greens were true
We played on a tuesday so pace of play was not an issue. greens were in excellent condition. fairways and tees were also good. staff was friendly and accomodating. would definitely go back.
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.
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.
there are weeds growing on the greens.
