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.

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!
nice
Good course but the guy at the counter could not have been nicer ! Got us off to a good start. If it was not over a hour from where we live ; we would play much more often.
Poor Customer Service
For the third time in three tries I was told the it was wide open (I was trying to get a round in before my wife got off work), and for the third time the gentleman behind the desk flat out lied to me. This time when I asked and he said it was clear I informed him that the last two times he had indicated that I had gotten stuck behind groups before the end of the third hole. He assured me that it was "clear", and that I "should be able to fly right around". Today I caught the first group at hole three, let me through on four, caught the next group on six, let me through on seven, and caught the last group on eight and they did not let me through. I work in a customer service position. Two things are paramount, be nice and be honest. So, instead of potentially losing my green fee for today because my schedule might have precluded me from playing a busy course, this establishment has lost my business permanently because of a lack of integrity.
Just Terrible
They claim to have the best greens in Tampa. Every green had patches of sand on it. Every fairway had crabgrass/weeds all over the place so you could find the middle of the fairway and still have to hit out of some thick weeds. The tee boxes are beat up and divots are everywhere on all the tee boxes. The cart paths NEED to be repaved. You're better off staying on the fairway as you drive otherwise it's a bumpy ride for sure. If they pride themselves the way they advertise it, then they need to get new management, cause it is completely rundown. The website says they have a driving range, but it's only a hitting net and it cost 50$ for an 830am tee time. Had I known the condition of the course before I paid, I would have left. Not worth half the price I paid. Extremely disappointed with this course. Will not go back and will not recommend to anyone.
Don't leave ball above the flag on the greens!
Many greens are sloped back to front and they were running fast. Any ball above the hole was trouble. You're better off playing short on your approach shots.
Northdale
Course in good shape . Greens quick. Staff indifferent. Play slow. Over five hours. Group starting out jumped ahead of us on tenth tee box
Fair
Rather wide fairways and accessable greens. Greens were fast and hard to read. Don't drive on cart paths because they are in bad shape and can really jar your back. Will play again
Nice Layout...Average Condition
This course has a nice layout, through a residential community. Greens were in good shape and rolled fast but true. Fairways were very dry with some patches of invasive grasses. The rough was burnt and brown with some areas of no grass. Was worth the Last Minute Golfer price of $25, but TLC is needed to bring this course back to its potential as a 4 star track
Good round of golf for your money
The greens were in excellent condition!
Fairways could use a few good watering, but that's quite common for the dry season.
Loved the layout. Played the whites and it posed a lot of angled shots.
Definitely will play again!
Avid golfer
This course is worth the cost. Always enjoy playing here. I golf 3 days a week at a lot of different courses.
