Northstar California Golf Course

Been a hour away for ten years. Never played here because of bad reviews. I seen the last review and it stated don’t listen to old reviews the course is nice now. So I decided to try it out. Come to find out they have a new director of golf and have hired more maintenance staff. Really enjoyed playing. Course was in good shape. Front 9 open links and back 9 in the pines. I’ll definitely be back.

Played the course first time, will go back for sure. Course is pretty and front 9 in the valley and open. and back 9 is through trees and tight. Both are totally different and challenging. Course was in good shape.

Rough too long for resort course. Sometimes lost a ball 3 feet off fairway. Greens okay. Back 9 is a completely different course from front. Target golf on the back with a lot of elevation change. Fun course if you don’t care too much about score

Unfortunately, the golf courses in pretty shoddy condition. I see weeds growing in their bent grass greens. Bunkers are awful, a lot of the rough hasn’t been mowed as you can see dandelion heads growing.

For an additional $70 you can go play Coyote Moon and it’s in fantastic shape. You amortize that over 18 holes you’re talking about three dollars or so more per hole for a greater playing experience.

The worst part about it is I drove two hours to get there, and was very disappointed.

The best thing about playing yesterday, the two guys I played with were fun, and the Smashburger was delicious.

We were excited to play Northstar for the first time - well not impressed at all - course is not in good shape for the cost to play - it is not a forgiving golf course at all - course knowledge is a must on this course. We were given a very poor photo copy of a score card with recommendations on where to hit listed on the edge of the card - most of the recommendations were cut off and could not read. For the cost to play as well as high cost of food/drink, this course should be much better.

The back nine can ruin your day. Target golf on the back to be sure but if you have never played there you'll have no idea where your targets should be. Even then, you'll need to be on your game to score. If you're just out to kill some time in a nice setting? Maybe. But then there are other choices. The front nine is basically flat and wide open but you still need to hit fairways to score. The two nines couldn't be more different! But hey, it's golf. And who said it should be fair? ;') (I won't return, however.)

Northstar has a great layout, but is not maintained well. The greens had a lot of weeds in them, the bunkers were not maintained at all. The scorecard was a paper copy. For $140, the experience was extremely disappointing.

My experience at the Northstar GC was like playing two different golf courses. The front 9 is pretty straight forward. Wide open and laid out nicely. The back 9 is a different story. The lay out is a lot different from most courses I play. I had a great deal of difficulty with the design. For me…it just didn’t flow well. That’s just my personal opinion. The staff are very nice. For the price this was not a great deal.

Front nine is like a cow pasture. Fairways and greens in poor condition. Back nine is much better. Won’t go baxk

Rough long around greens. Greens spongy and slow. Good family value with kids or grand kids.

Use golf moose deals for best price.

Currently not in best shape. Surprised because it’s July and not May/June after thaw. It was fun once. Probably wouldn’t go back.

I am so impressed with the condition of the course!! It was a big wet winter and Northstar did a great job putting together the best conditions I've seen in years. The greens look great and play true! Great atmosphere all around! Nice job Northstar team. If you haven't played the area I would recommend Northstar, they have really good online rates and in my opinion the best views.
