Horrible Staff

Staff is horrible. They have major issues with golf carts here. I recommend people do not go here due to horrible attitude of the staff in pro shop. Freddy and the food and beverage people are great. Vic the manager needs to train the staff on customer service.

Nice Executive Course

National City Golf Course is an Executive 9 Hole course that is an excellent value for your time and money. You can use your driver and long irons and accuracy is rewarded on short iron approaches. There is snaggy rough in spots but the fairway is maintained and rewards the golfer with logical shots to the green. For the price, you can't beat this course.

Manners

This was the first time, we played this course. it was a 5:15 t-time and they were already running late. By the time we got out, it was almost 6pm. In the middle of our round (9 holes only mind you), a junior came to the greens and started collecting all the flags from the holes and inserted sand rakes into the holes, which meant we could n to see where the holes were at all.

They didn't offer us to hit practice balls at all in the beginning as we had to go out without hitting practice balls which made the start of the round even worse. To top it all off, after the round, went to hit some balls on the driving range matts, the same junior came back again and waited by me to clear everything up as they were closing and wouldn't even bother to go around and clear everything else first before coming to me last. And when I asked him what he was waiting for, he said I need to clear your spot up. Ive been in the hotel business for 10+ years and teach customer service to companies and individuals and he definitely need to learn how to treat clients and customers where you earn your income from. What else do you expect from a city course. I should have known better. Never again.!!!

Not bad

I wanted to play nine holes and so I thought this course has a nice layout where I can use most of my clubs. The course is in fair shape. I paid $9.99 plus fee at GolfNow which I thought was a great deal until I found out that the cart is not included with the price. GolfNow should have flag that one in. Other than that, it’s ok. Next time I play there, I will bring my golf cart.

Great Value

I have played this course for a few years and it has only gotten better, it still needs improvement in the practice area, but the course is great for the price.

It's not very challenging but it's great for a quick 9.

The staff is friendly, it's an easy walk and the greens are usually in great shape.

Practice round

I typically play this course when I want to practice and only have time for 9 holes. The course is in decent shape and the greens seem to roll pretty good for this time of year. Usually the pace of play is slow because of a lot of beginners on the course, but if you go in knowing it may be a little slow you'll get thru 9 holes in 2 hours or less. The staff is relatively new and not as friendly as past staff members. All in all the course and facilities serve their purpose for a quick practice round and the price is right!!!

Not bad for what you pay

I paid 23 for 9 and a cart. The course is always very wet, makes it difficult and uncomfortable
