Northridge/ Pine Valley

the name changed from "Pine Valley" to "Northridge", but the course layout is almost the same. Very good test of golf with some very challenging holes. The course was in excellent shape, the greens & fairways were perfect. There were some changes primarily on the back, but still a stern test of golf. I will play this course again, when I'm in the area.

Much Improved

I had played this course many times in the past. The layout is tight.In my case, my directional control went awry, so I stopped playing there for about 5 years. I played there yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by how much the course conditions have improved. The fairways are PLUSH, and the greens rolling truer than many public courses, and at a good speed. I realize that they are changing to a 9 hole course, and are looking to modify that status. The management at this course is great for the game, and hopefully will be able to regain 18 holes.

North Ridge in Great Shape!

Played 18 and I'd have to say the course is in great shape! There were 2-3 greens which were a bit worn out (disease?) but the rest of the course was in amazing shape! Pace of play was very good for a Saturday, we had a blast and will return soon!

WRONG DAY - Great Course

I just want to thank John in the club house for accommodating me for my screw up. I had booked a T time for Friday on Friday thinking it was for a Sat 11:56 T time on GOLFNOW. I arrived at North Ridge Sat around 11:45 and checked in with John. He tried to find me in the system for the 11:56 and quickly realize that it was booked for the day before, but was quick to move it over to Sat and allow me to go out for my T time and honored the price I paid for Fri. I was pretty shocked as I'm sure some courses would have just said that they could not do anything for me. So I want to give a shout out to John and North Ridge for being customer friendly course and allowing me to get out at that time. The course itself is in great shape, fairways, rough, bunkers and greens, especially consider the lack of rain we've had. I highly recommend getting out to North Ridge for a round of golf.

Very nice course

The course is in great shape. Fairly short but the tight fairways and elevation changes make it challenging. My only complaint would be the carts and cart paths. The carts are old and one of the ones I got originally was broken. This is probably because the cart paths don't existent as more than dirt paths, some of which are over many tree roots. But I would still recommend a visit to this course

Great shape.

This is the 2nd time I've played here this year and both times the condition of the course was great. The greens are in great shape. Overall a great experience. Would recommend to others.

Nice course getting ruined by housing.

This is a very nice course, with good fairways and great greens.
The problem is there are many homes being built on the property borders with this golf course. On one hole they have built a home right next to the fairway. On another hole the homes backyard extends almost into the fairway. Many more homes are planned for this course. If this is anything like Chicopee CC in Chicopee Mass, the homes will get hit by golf balls and the owners will complain and the golf course will have to make changes to accommodate the homes.

A must play

Excellent conditions from tee to green. Greens are fast and true. Only recommendation would be that a ranger would be a nice addition. Caught a group on the back nine that was very slow and with no one in front of them for at least 3 holes we were not asked to go through.

Good course ... Too bad half of it will disappear

I really liked North Ridge, overall. Fairways and greens were in great condition, though the clubhouse is showing its age. A couple of awkward holes - short carries that result in long-iron second shots, a drive that brings one of the new houses VERY much into play, etc.

Played 2 days in a row

Had 2 days of pouring rain before I played. The few Cart paths they had were actually washed out and could be dangerous. Sand traps were washed out. The Next day I was impressed with how much work had been done on both! Otherwise course was in Good conditions. Got a Hot Deal the first day was worth it... If not a Hot deal felt it was a bit expensive.

Beautiful course

North Ridge is in excellent shape. This was my first time playing there and we were very impressed with everything there. The greens were very well cared for and ran pretty fast. Fairways and tees are also in beautiful shape.

The proshop personel greeted us very warmly and walked outside with us to help us head in the right direction. The carts all have gps and we also got a great yardage book to help us as first timers.

The course has quite a few doglegs and that kept it very interesting. The trees are really well maintained and the grounds between holes is pretty clean and easy to find balls.

The greens do have a lot of elevation changes so they can be tough to read for a newcomer.

Everyone we encountered was quite friendly and helpful. We will surely be back regularly although we live about 30 miles away.

Course in Great Shape

Greens Keeper Tom Rodden has done a fantastic job of improving playing conditions at the course. Greens are now quicker and consistent. Very little winter damage. Fairways lush. The course offers a challenge as the fairways are narrow. This course is a gem.

Good course, nice mid week round

North Ridge is coming along nicely from what it was as Pine Valley. Creative holes, well groomed and good price.
