Everything was in good shape. Fairways were excellent, greens were ok.

Play Westchase, Cresent Oaks, Fox Hollow or even Rocky Point and you will find much better conditions.

Your on the green, ready for the birdy putt but how to navigate the weeds and sand on the greens? How about the sand in the middle of fairways and on the tee box. Good luck.

Since XUDE golf took over the course has gone off a cliff in terms of conditions. They cant manage to kill the weeds or grow grass in fairways. Do yourself a favor, play Westchase, Cresent Oaks or anywhere but here.

Greens were great, tees were OK and fairways very good. New carts were nice, new markers as well.

Upon arrival I was greeted by a older grump who said he did not have any carts yet for my tee time. They had an outing and over booked. He put my bag on the ground. This happens all the time here. We waited 30 minutes past the tee time to get a cart (dirty) then waited again to tee off, now 50 minutes past our tee time. The course was dry and patches of the fairway were dirt. 5 hours later we made it to 18. Nightmare beware, go somewhere else that doesnt overbook.

Well the layout is really nice. After that, a lot of work needs to be done here. Greens have weeds all over, and some bare spots. No one seems to care. Fairways are literally burnt out. No one seems to care. Garbage strewn about on the course, in the ponds, on the clubhouse back porch. No one seems to care. It could be so much better but they need to care.

Sad to see conditions worsening at Norhtdale. If you thought it could not get worse, it has. IMHO they must be getting ready to develop this place? Otherwise why would they let it get this far out of hand?

The course owners are clearly making positive changes. New tee boxes, greens being re-planted, new carts. It looks like the Forest is returning to its glory,

Such a nice layout!

Forced carry on the first hole, so be ready to play! Overall conditions are wonderful. Greens and tees are in excellent shape and constantly maintained. Once you play here you will want to come back.

Hit it in the fairway, oh no! Dirt. No grass. Tee boxes are mostly sand, Areas of water from leaking sprinkler pipes. Trash all over the course. Not well managed and $50? Better options at Crescent Oaks, Westchase, or Fox Hollow.

Fairways are not over seeded so many are sparse. #2, #3 and #16 were mostly dirt and mud fairways.

No one seems to care. Bathrooms are filthy, garbage on the course, some carts hardly run. They can do better!

New managers took this over 6 months ago and they have done nothing they said they would do to improve.
They said they were installing a pizza oven, new menu, tournaments and even a food truck at the turn. Nothing has been done. To add to that the place is extremely dirty, just look under the coolers in the bar!

I would not order food here, surprised the health department allows them to be open. Today was Monday, burger and fry special. Guess what, NO FRIES!

Mis-managed

The only thing good about conditions here are the greens. They stand out against the otherwise poor conditions.

Wonderful conditions, if not just a little rough around the edges. Greens were fast and true, having been recently rolled.

Overseeded and very nice tree lined fairways. Could use a bit of TLC off the edges with some bare spots on most holes. They do not appear to be picking up leaves and sticks as they take away from the overall good experience.

Many of the greens have weeds growing all over them. The weeds will move your putts off line. Teeboxes are very weedy and some have little grass. The layout is great so worth playing.

I hear a new management company has taken over the Eagles and currently conditions are very poor. Long grass everywhere just off the fairways. It appears they have not mowed for many weeks. Greens and fairways were good, everywhere else good luck finding you ball.

Hoping things will improve over the coming months.
