Fair

Rather wide fairways and accessable greens. Greens were fast and hard to read. Don't drive on cart paths because they are in bad shape and can really jar your back. Will play again

Once Again !!

I reviewed Northdale a few weeks ago and nothing has changed. Although its almost 40 miles from home it is easily becoming my favorite course. Unlike most courses during the "season" Northdales rates are very reasonable. Course is in good shape. Greens and fairways are excellent. ALL Staff are so nice, polite, and friendly - all smiles. Specially Renee and Kailyn. Will be back.

A wonderful morning round!

Everybody was right! This course was in fantastic condition. Easily the best course I've played at this price range. I started as a solo, joined a twosome, and we finished in 3 hours and 50 minutes on a Thursday 9:30 tee time. It's plenty challenging. Lots of water and visually challenging holes. The staff was great. I can't say enough about Northdale. The only downside would be that they don't have a driving range. You won't be disappointed!

Awesome turn around

Played here over past few years and up until last fall it was in very rough shape. However since the change of ownership they have done excellent job in repairing the tee boxes and greens. Keep it up and more golfers will return

What a change

I played it last year and there’s no comparison. This year, everything is perfect. Greens are great and conditions are awesome. Only same thing than last year is staff friendliness. Try it and you’ll love it. And at a good price

Great Value, Helpful staff and fun course

This course winds through some natural areas with very few houses overlooking the course. Greens were in perfect condition. At $45 the very best value for a fun and moderately challenging course.

Rough around the edges.

This course may be under new management and improving, but I don’t have any prior experience to measure it against. The greens were pretty consistently slow . I don’t think they had been mowed that day. And they could’ve used it. As for the rest of the course much of it felt like it was under Repair.

Course is ok

My only complaint is that the distance markers on the course are poor. Some holes have the markers, some don’t. Its difficult to figure out the yardages from the brochure they give you.

Much improved

I golfed here a couple of years ago and swore that I would never go back due to the condition of the course. After reading several recent reviews, I decided to give it another try. The greens are in much better shape, and the Fairways have also improved, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Good course

Staff were terrific!. Starter and Rangers were on point. Cart Lady was frequent. Conditions were good for this time of year. Will play again. Only problem. The bathroom was filty. Get a Biohazzard suit on before entry. Nasty prior to start and nasty at the turn. Find a tree.

Slowish

Elements of the course are still needing some work but overall it looks and plays quite nice. Pace was a bit slow although may have been due to a very slow 4 ball a few holes in front. Front 9 was 1 hour 20 mins, but back nine was close to 2 hours for 2 ball on a midweek afternoon? That said we would play again though.
