Northwoods Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Northwoods Golf Club is one of the Columbia area's premier public courses. P.B. Dye, son of renowned course architect Pete Dye, designed the layout, incorporating some of his father's signature features. The golf course is player friendly enough to appeal to any skill level but there are some challenges in store as well. Mature trees line most of the fairways and there are a few strategically placed bunkers that come into play. You won't come across much water on this golf course and it's not terribly long either. It's gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. The golf course's signature hole is the par-4 14th, which features the famous Dye railroad ties bordering a lake that hugs the bunkered green. Northwoods G.C. also offers a practice facility with a lighted driving range and putting green.

OK
This course is OK. It has improved. But was wet in winter time condition in February. The person checking us in was very cordial. Lady working in their snack bar was very quiet and unfriendly.
Really nice greens
The greens and fairways were really green and manicured. Cart paths are awful. It has some nice shady areas.
Day on the course
Overall the course was great! Gorgeous views and in good shape. Recent rains made it cart path only but that is to be expected. Fairways and greens were well maintained. The only negative I experienced was cart Attendant was quite brash and the snack area cashier was clipping BK coupons and seemed perturbed that I interrupted her to order a beverage. Customer service refresher could possibly be needed. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my round.
Good for the money
Good value. Nice condition. Pace of play was terrible.
It took 5 hours to finish and there were people waiting ahead and behind us.
Excellent.
820 tee time. Only bird in a threesome. The best greens to try. Shot a 104. Lost two balls hole one on me. Great experience

I will not use Golf Now ever again, it was cheaper to go direct than the "deal" at Golf Now

Beautiful course
The course was in good shape despite the recent rains. It was cart path only because of the recent weather. Great views and good fairway conditions. Bunkers were unplayable because of rain. The staff was a little disappointing. Not very friendly and seemed to not enjoy their job. Cart attendant was rude and snack bar worker was clipping coupons when I ordered a beverage. Definitely could use a customer service refresher. Price of round was very reasonable.
okay could be better
Greens were good
traps need work and more sand
fairways were good but have some drain problems

Nice little get away
First time playing here and I loved this course. Beautiful lay out with some tricky spots to challenge shot making skills. The staff was awesome and pace was excellent. A little wet in some areas especially a couple tee boxes. This course is on my play again and was not disappointed in the hour plus drive.
