Northdale Golf Club

I played a morning round of golf and their were very few players on the course. I finished 18 holes in less than 3hours. The course layout is fair. A few of the greens were chewed up. The course does not appear to be maintained properly. There is no drinking water on the course and no refreshment cart. That is not good especially playing on a 90 degree day.

Long time player at this neighborhood course. With the help of some rain and a seemingly newly conscientious grounds crew, this place is looking good.

The rains definitely helped the greens and fairways. Tampa bay been in a big dry spell, needed the rain. Pace of play is great 3.5 hours for a round.

One pet peeve the ball washers are always dry, not sure why it’s not a first thing in the AM to fill.

As a nearby resident I have been playing for many years at Northdale. About 2-3 years ago the course was getting continually worse as far as weeds, chewed up tee boxes and off fairway areas that were so overgrown you couldn't find ball.

The off fairway issue is improved as they are cutting the grass and balls could be played out of the rough.

Tee boxes were much improved.

There are still too many areas without grass, whether in fairway, near greens or even on putting surface.

The greens were exceptional for putting except for the patchy spots.

My round started at 5 and I was finished at 7:15, pace was exceptional.

When I rounded to the 10th hole I stopped in snack bar to buy a refreshment and it was locked up. I then walked over to the Pro Shop and it was locked up.

Course was nice even though not my first time playing it. Greens were just punched and had a lot of sand so they weren’t all that. They will however, be good in a week or two. Overall very decent condition and course. Will play again soon.

Northdale looked good today in context of all the hot weather we’ve had! Greens were well manicured and the staff was friendly. Want to give Props to Keith for the treatment of the course and for a Northdale ball-catcher JJ for referring me to the course. Im an advocate to let him keep referring people to the course!

Did not find out that they had aerated the greens until I got to the course. unable to really putt on any holes. There were a lot of really slow foursomes on the course. Especially for a Friday mid day. Some of them looked like they were just messing around and there was no ranger to move them along. I ended up skipping three holes just so I didn't have to wait. Hopefully the greens will be really good in a few weeks.

We played the first 9 holes twice because all 18 hole greens were sanded.

I have played this course many times through the years. I have been staying away because the course had really been run down. Still not in great shape but I am encouraged by the progress from the last time I played there a few months ago. As long as you can get a good rate on golf now it is worth playing. I still would not pay $40 or $50 to play there.

The course is very run down and just not taken care of. Will most likely not play here again and check out other local options instead. We were left disappointed.

Conditions have improved over the past 2 months. The condition of green on the first hole has always been problematic but the next 16 greens were much better. The layout is worth the trip.

Course has a great layout and great potential - however it’s got a lot of burn from tee box to green. Kids play free so that lessened the blow of the conditions but it won’t have a replay again for me.

The superintendent was fired for cost cutting and the course looks like it has not been maintained in 2 years!!! Massive holes dry patches everywhere and bumpy greens! Absolutely a waste of money!!!
