North Shore Golf Course

Very disappointed with the course conditions, particularly for the price and summer rates. Lots of bad greens and tee boxes. Plus it was almost a 5 hour round with no marshaller ever on the course. There are definitely better options around.

After living here for five years and only ten minutes away from the course, I never played it due to the high green fee rates. Finally found it available on Golf Now for $35 plus tax, so I figured I would give it a try. The greens were so bad and literally un-puttable that I was just picking up my ball. The T boxes were an utter disaster and I was constantly looking for grass to T off. In summary, the course was a grave disappointment and I would never play there again or recommend it unless it was under $20.

course was tough

I was very happy with condition of the course. They really do a great job keeping it in such good condition. I have to say though that they really should have a cart person on the course. It was hot out there. There were no water coolers on the course either. Little things like that make a big difference in the hot weather.

To begin I will say that I really like this course, and have played it easily 60 times over the years. It is close to me and generally a good track. The staff is always friendly and the pace of play is usually pretty decent. That said the course condition is the poorest that I have ever seen. At least 7 of the greens and probably as many tee boxes have a significant fungus issue and there are several patches of NO grass, Im talking anywhere from 2 feet to 10 feet in diameter, I understand that these things happen and I imagine they will try hard to correct it however, it will take a lot of time to get these greens and tee boxes looking good again. For me if the round was like $40 bucks I probably would not be too upset, but for $80 honestly I felt ripped off. Again, not a reflection on the staff but seriously they should let you know before you book that nearly half of the greens are in poor shape. At the end of the day it will be awhile before I return, I hope they get things right because it really is a fun challenging layout.

Sometimes this course is in great shape, but this recent round the course was playable. Its typically in better condition. Everything else is great, the restaurant and pro shop people are very friendly..

They have rolled out new carts, they are really nice. They have gps, scoring, and Bluetooth. Some areas are too sensitive for locked cart but they will work that out.

Nice layout challenging but fair. We played at a fairly quick pace but didn’t realize it. We never really hurried but played in just over 3 hours

I am having trouble believing these reviews were written by players. I have played North Shore many times. Love the course but quit playing because they were charging as much as Shingle Creek. Saw it was $50 and thought I was getting a deal. I don’t know what kind of fungus/grounds keeper it has now, but resembles more of a goat ranch than a golf course. It might be worth $20 bucks at 8am on a Saturday. I guess they figured we will just quit maintaining the course and keep taking money. People working were great. Course, not so much.

Greens, fairways, and tea boxes are all in really good shape. Simply a great course and fun to play.
