About
Northdale Golf & Tennis Club remains one of the premier Tampa golf courses because of its affordable play, its use of water on 11 of 18 holes, bunkers, rolling undulations and contoured greens that really challenge players. Just 12 miles north of Tampa International Airport, this is a neighborhood golf course with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of your day. Renowned golf course architect Ron Garl designed the par 72, 6824-yard championship golf course. Northdale Golf & Tennis Club winds its way through 180 plus acres of property that is home to Brushy Creek and a series of small lakes and unspoiled wooded areas.

Nice course to work on your game
Nice course to work on your game.He has some rough spots, but you can see that they are working on them. I always enjoy Northdale.
review
Over-all conditions at Northdale were very good....fairways cut close and nice and wide, greens also cut very close and fast...my only complaint was that the sand traps ( and there are many ) needed attention......also water hazards come into play from even the forward tees ( at 5200 yds ),,,,,so your golf shots had to be pretty good.....looking forward to returning there again soon as the price ( $30 ) and the tee time ( 10 am ) were better than most places......
Gem in the Rough
A favorite course for the value. TEE boxes and FAIRWAYS are well maintained, but the rough is ROUGH so keep your eyes on your balls. GREENS are smooth and rolled, despite the dirt patches and multiple grass type that will impact putting speed. BUNKERS are overgrown with weed and relatively hard, hence no rake. CLUBHOUSES is in good shape. GOLF SHOP (Not-Pro Shop) doesn’t have much selections. STAFF is very friendly, but bring water, as I have NEVER seen a beverage cart or refresh water station. Parking lot and Tennis Courts needs a lot of TLC given the beautiful houses throughout the course.
Better Than 3.0 Rating
I’ve been hesitant to play this course due to the negative reviews. Overall, I was surprised as the greens and fairways were in good condition. A few greens are in poor condition — but it appears that management is repairing and not neglecting these. Will be back.
Ehhhhhhhh
Greens were punched a few days ago, and of course they didn’t mention that at booking. The course was in horrible shape. Even if the greens were rolling pure the rest of the course was still horrible. There was a Marshall on nearly every other hole checking on pace of play. I think they could use that money on fixing the course instead of Marshalls. Would certainly not recommend.
Great course
First time playing while my other two in the party had already played here once, amazing course. Excited to visit the other sister courses, love how it almost didn't feel like a Florida course.
My kind of place.
Relaxed neighborhood course. Continuing to see improved playing conditions. New mgmt ?
Nice Round
Was visiting from out of town and read reviews on this course. NOT TRUE. This course is a value for the set up, conditions, and pace of play. Starter was very polite. Tee boxes were good, greens were GREAT. Maintenance of rough areas looked behind schedule though. Will be back!
Good local course
Northdale is a nice local course , greens were good , grass in the fairways was a little long there were not many bare spots!
Fast play
I played a morning round of golf and their were very few players on the course. I finished 18 holes in less than 3hours. The course layout is fair. A few of the greens were chewed up. The course does not appear to be maintained properly. There is no drinking water on the course and no refreshment cart. That is not good especially playing on a 90 degree day.
Big improvements
Long time player at this neighborhood course. With the help of some rain and a seemingly newly conscientious grounds crew, this place is looking good.
