Northdale Golf Club

conditions are great, 5 hour round on a weds is brutal though. no rangers keeping up pace, expect to spend the day out here

Haven't played here in a couple years. It was a little rough back then, but the new owners have turned it around.
Greens were in great shape just a little fluffy and slow, but that's because of recent rains so obviously they couldn't mow or roll them. I would go back and play again.

Can definitely see the improvements new owners are making.

When looking at the course map on The Grint, the course looked beat up & worn down, but recent reviews said all good things about the recent conditions and boy were they right! Had a blast & shot well!

We played back in August 2023 and had a very bad Round. But now under new ownership this course was Great today and we will be playing it a lot more Ten out of Ten! 10 out of 10! Boston Tom

We have played Northdale many times over the years. The course condition had become very poor the last couple years. I was pleasantly surprised to see the course was in much better condition than it has been for a long time. Greens were very smooth and fast. There are some rough spots here and there, but huge improvement over what it has been

From what I’ve read, there’s new management and the course has improved. It was my first time playing, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a good course for $35, but I wouldn’t pay $40+. 19th hole was cool with TVs and had good bar vibes. Pro shop is trash, and bathrooms smelled worse than a truck stop bathroom.

Overall, I was happy with course. A ranger would have been nice to help pace of play and prevent the high school kids from taking 3 shots off the tee box and watch them drive on the greens.

Coming along nicely. 1st green was a little rough, but the rest were great. Fairways and bunkers great shape.
Clubhouse much improved. Nice carts.
Can't beat it in this price range.

Course conditions are greatly improved. Sand traps much better. A couple rough greens in spots, But overall, Northdale is well maintained for a public course. My favorite play in the area.

I always try to make time to include a stop here if I'm in Tampa as it was one of the first courses I played when in the area.
The layout is the same and the new owners are trying to bring it back to the shape it was in after they resurfaced all the greens a few years ago.
Special shout out to Renee in the shop for being so friendly and to Kaylee behind the bar for the same reason. Apologies if I can't spell ladies :)
The course overall was in pretty good shape and represents good value for money. Just don't pay any attention to the state of the 1st green as it doesn't get much light so suffers. The other 17 greens are much better.

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.

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......

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.

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.

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.
