The 18-hole North Shore Golf Club in Orlando, Florida is a semi-private golf course that opened in 2001. The course slides around lakes and wetlands, and then detours through a grove of large ancient oak trees before re-emerging into the clear at the finish. It has two distinct nines converging to form one remarkable 18-hole layout. Begin your round on the Modern nine, winding through native wetlands and Florida's natural topography. The Classic nine is carved through a grove of 100-year old oak trees, creating an enjoyably unique setting for your finishing holes. North Shore Golf Club is located less than 10 minutes from Orlando International Airport and offers a complete practice facility and world-class instruction.

Yikes

Pros: Everyone on staff is great. Nice new carts.

This is my "home" course, if I had one. I play here a lot and have for many years. The course runs hot and cold with conditions.

North Shore is in the worst shape I've ever seen it. Yes, we've had rain, but every green has a serious issue. Back nine probably shouldn't be open. The greens are borderline unplayable. Plinko putting. Sand spots, pock marks like a teenager with bad acne. Traps are concrete. Not sure what they were thinking with the trap short left of the 2nd green, but it is more of a low tide washout.

It is a shame because NS could be so good, but I'm gonna take a break and see other courses for now.

Slipping a bit

We've been playing here off and on for 10 plus years. The layout and people a great, but the course conditions are slipping. All the greens have multitudes of dead spots, ranging from golfball size to softball sized, I've never seen greens look like this anywhere, it's weird and definitely affects putting. Tee boxes are almost all in bad shape, thin grass and lots of sand/bare ground. Fairways are good. Some bunkers have good sand, some seem to have transition to sand/dirt combo.

Terrible condition - DO NOT PLAY

North shore is usually in decent shape and the greens are usually good. This was the worst I’ve ever seen it. Terrible shape, every green was in poor condition, it was a joke to pay $75 to play here. So disappointed, go play somewhere else, they let this place go to crap. Sad to see. They don’t even have a decent practice area now.

They let it go

Played here a bunch, but recent round you can tell the green management went down hill bad. Patches on every green and extreme wet spots due to poor drainage.

Cart path only

We played cart path only because they had two and a half inches of rain and a short period of time the evening before and it was very very wet.

Worst cause condition I played this year

From the start, the greens were in horrible condition. The golf course also very moody and tee boxes were in terrible condition.. I have never played on a golf course that was overpriced and in such bad shape. This course requires enhancements. Avoid this course it needs major improvement.

Too wet

The recent rains have made a mess of the property. It was cart path only, and actually the course should have closed. Some of the cart pats were under water, the fairways were “mush” and the greens are patchy- but did roll well in the sections not impacted by either the moisture or fungus. The course just needs to dry out so the maintenance staff can give it the attention it needs.

It was so wet that tee shots plugged in the middle of some of the fairways and were nearly impossible to find.

Never Was told CPO and Greens were Garbage

Course was basically under water, no mention of Cart Path Only whatsoever, Greens were in TERRIBLE shape. I won’t be back anytime soon. Go Play Eagle Creek right down the road. It’s a much better deal.

Soggy mess.

Apparently the course received a lot of rain the previous night. More than 3 holes should have been cart path only because some people will drive anywhere. There is drainage but it didn’t keep up.

Opening issue

I had a 710/715 tee time and at 701am the shop was still not open and 20-30 problem were out front frustrated. Tee times started at 7 as in understood it from those waiting and nobody could pay or go and hit balls. I ended up not playing and left disappointed that a golf course would not have the shop open at least 30 minutes prior to all tee times starting. I could not get a refund from GOLFNOW and had to eat the fee. Really disappointed as this is my local course that I have played for years. Not intending to return in the future and will not recommend. I have been playing for a long time and never seen this before. It is not the first time either.

Pond next to the teeing area for the 15th hole

The environment of the North Shoes Golf Course is deteriorating day by day. A large pond right next to the teeing area for the 15th hole has become an absolute mess. Just a year ago, it was the largest, most beautiful, and clearest pond on the entire golf course. Now, it has turned into the beginning stages of a swampy wetland. It’s truly a shame that such a beautiful pond has become such an ugly, foul-smelling, abandoned water pit. I really wouldn’t recommend anyone to come play golf at this course.
