Great Value for the Money

As the fairways and greens improve with Spring approaching the course is in good condition. We played on a Friday and pace of play was right at 4 hours. Enjoyed the course and will return.

Improving…Keep Up The Good Work

This course has a come a long way; the course itself has been completely refurbished. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape, and greens are coming back nicely. Bunkers could use some fresh sand. New owners have done a great job so far.

The downsides: we arrived at 3:05 for our 3:30 tee time and there was a massive wait, we didn’t tee off till slightly after 4:15. We had a 4some and 3some in front of us and there were no other 2somes so it was just us and we were waiting at most holes but obviously not the courses fault. Biggest issue was that the carts were coming in and going right back out…our first cart died on 5, our 2nd at the turn, and our 3rd cart was about to die on 13 so we just called it and went home. The practice green is great and undulated, but the rest of the warmup area/net could use some serious upgrades.

It’s clear the new owners have done a LOT of great things with the course, but better tee time spacing would alleviate a lot of issues. Will definitely be back.

Getting Better

I stopped playing here for the past 2 years even as it is the closest golf course to home but I've been reading better reviews and Northdale Golf Course conditions have improved significantly. Esspecially the fairways and the approach chipping areas. The greens are decent, different from before when they used to be fast, now a bit slower.

The design of the course is challenging especially where water and trees will push you to hit very accurate shots.

I definitely see improvement and when they get the greens smoother and fill in some of the sandy patches in the fairways the course will be able to return to its past greatness.

It isn't an easy course by any means.

Awesome turn around

Played here over past few years and up until last fall it was in very rough shape. However since the change of ownership they have done excellent job in repairing the tee boxes and greens. Keep it up and more golfers will return

Once Again !!

I reviewed Northdale a few weeks ago and nothing has changed. Although its almost 40 miles from home it is easily becoming my favorite course. Unlike most courses during the "season" Northdales rates are very reasonable. Course is in good shape. Greens and fairways are excellent. ALL Staff are so nice, polite, and friendly - all smiles. Specially Renee and Kailyn. Will be back.

A wonderful morning round!

Everybody was right! This course was in fantastic condition. Easily the best course I've played at this price range. I started as a solo, joined a twosome, and we finished in 3 hours and 50 minutes on a Thursday 9:30 tee time. It's plenty challenging. Lots of water and visually challenging holes. The staff was great. I can't say enough about Northdale. The only downside would be that they don't have a driving range. You won't be disappointed!

What a change

I played it last year and there’s no comparison. This year, everything is perfect. Greens are great and conditions are awesome. Only same thing than last year is staff friendliness. Try it and you’ll love it. And at a good price

Great Value, Helpful staff and fun course

This course winds through some natural areas with very few houses overlooking the course. Greens were in perfect condition. At $45 the very best value for a fun and moderately challenging course.

Nice course In better shape

Haven't played here in a couple years. It was a little rough back then, but the new owners have turned it around.

Greens were in great shape just a little fluffy and slow, but that's because of recent rains so obviously they couldn't mow or roll them. I would go back and play again.

Rough around the edges.

This course may be under new management and improving, but I don’t have any prior experience to measure it against. The greens were pretty consistently slow . I don’t think they had been mowed that day. And they could’ve used it. As for the rest of the course much of it felt like it was under Repair.

Course is ok

My only complaint is that the distance markers on the course are poor. Some holes have the markers, some don’t. Its difficult to figure out the yardages from the brochure they give you.
