Northdale Golf Club
About

Fun fun
I love this playing at this course!! Greens are always in the best shape, can't really say anything bad about this, one of my favorite!!!
Stop Being So Critical
What's the deal with people hating tee boxes? Yes, we would all prefer to hit from a pretty surface, but you're hitting off a tee for crying out loud. As long as the tee box is level, what's the problem?
The greens here are very good. Yes there are some rough spots, but the vast majority of the greens are really nice. The fairways are also very good-are there weeds? Of course there are, but there is plenty of soft plush grass as well.
I live less than a mile from the course and it's my "go to" when I can get there by 4:30 to get 18 in. I always enjoy it. Not the greatest challenge in the world, but you have to be on your toes.
This course is a solid 3 to 3.5 and the staff is very friendly. I think some people are expecting Baltusrol for under $20. This is a nice course and well worth the price. Quit the belly aching.
Greens are good
The course conditions overall are average but I liked the greens and the layout. The price was good. I would play it again.
REAL BAD SHAPE....
I would almost tend to think they were closing down. The course condition was extremely poor and staff had no clue about customer service. Will NOT be back without verified new work has been done. Not worth my or the other part of our foresomes time...
Just perfect
The course was fantastic. We both turned in good scores and just enjoyed how beautiful the course was. Found not one complaint here. Look forward to returning soon.
Great Course
Staff member in clubhouse at 12 noon was very friendly and helpful. Course great condition
Goat Track
Bare spots on several greens, tee boxes were horrible, staff was rude. It used to be the best course in the area but it will be a while before I go back.
Must play
Got the money and value the best course in the area
Really rough shape!
I am not sure what course the other people played, but this course is in ROUGH shape! Several of the greens had bare patches. Several of the tee boxes were spotty and the ones that had grass were full of crabgrass. The fairways were decent enough. The staff was very nice, and I flew around the course (18 holes in 2:45). I won't go back.
A little difficult to find
Nice track. Fairways and greens were GREEN! Layout is nice and wide for most holes. Lots of water in play. We had an enjoyable round and will be back.
Terrible customer service and pace of play
This was our second time playing this course. The first time took us 6 hours to play 18 holes. After speaking with manager after the first round, we were assured this was a rare occurrence. We decided to try it again, but were once again greeted by a slow round. After a 2 and a half hour 9 holes, we were third in line for the 10th hole. This was panning out to be another 6 hour round so we visited the pro shop to speak to the manager. We were offered a rain check for 9 holes but as were are from Canada and we were on our last day of vacation, a rain check was useless. Obviously the pace of play was unacceptable, which is why we were offered a rain check. For the two of us, it was a waste of money and we will not be returning.
On another note, make sure your cart has the pin placements on it. Ours did not and really messed up our round.
Love the course
Even though the greens had been top sanded recently, they rolled great. The course is kept up well.
I love the hole layout
Wow those greens
Best greens on any public course we have played recently in Florida. had to be a 10 + stimp. Greens make a golf course. DO NOT leave your approach above the hole!
Very slow NO RANGERS anywhere
They start you off 10 because "it's faster than starting on 1"???
Okay we get there and 4 other groups waiting to tee off. No Rangers anywhere!
Fast forward 5 hours we are done. Twosome in front of us used the course like a driving range, hitting as many as three tee shots per hole. They had no business playing that course. Greens are lightening fast and probably too much for the average player. Tees, and fairways need a lot of attention. Price is cheap but you get what you pay for. Won't play again until they manage that course better from cart girls to grill attendants they just aren't trained at all. Understaffed in proshop and even a long line to fricken pay for the round.
pack lunch and dinner
had a 1:05pm tee time didn't tee off until 1:20pm, started on #10 played the first 9 in 3 hours we decided to play the back 9 again in hopes to finish before dark
no rangers to keep things moving, I've played this course a few times and have NEVER finished in under 4.5 hours, needless to say I'll never play here again
unless you enjoy waiting 10 minutes or more on every tee box play anywhere else
Great course
Make sure you try this course. The course was in excellent condition and a challenge to play. I have recommended this to my friends and am looking forward to playing again.
fast greens
Greens always maintained well. They were especially fast and in tough locations. Course well maintained.
Poor, could be a 4 star, but is a two.
Greens are exceptional. Good speed and role true. Tee boxes and fairways are beat up. Many areas dug up due to carts on a wet course. Round took 5 hrs. , totally unacceptable. If you treat a customer rudely at check in, don't expect them to come back. The minute my payment came up as a third party tee time , I was treated rudely. Poor customer service, bad pro shop attitude.
A Favorite
The course was in good shape. The greens where great and fast. Very true. I am a snow bird and play this course as often as I can get a good deal.
