About
Northdale Golf & Tennis Club remains one of the premier Tampa golf courses because of its affordable play, its use of water on 11 of 18 holes, bunkers, rolling undulations and contoured greens that really challenge players. Just 12 miles north of Tampa International Airport, this is a neighborhood golf course with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of your day. Renowned golf course architect Ron Garl designed the par 72, 6824-yard championship golf course. Northdale Golf & Tennis Club winds its way through 180 plus acres of property that is home to Brushy Creek and a series of small lakes and unspoiled wooded areas.

Keeps getting better
Nicest I've ever seen this course over many years.
Greens a bit slow for my liking, but still great shape except #1. Seems to be in a tough area to maintain.
Overall, course is great!!
Good shape
Overall the courses in really good shape and it's a good value. I also like the layout
A BIG SURPRISE
Yes, playing at Northdale on the 10th of May was a big surprise, a positive surprise. Until 3 to 4 years ago my foursome played Northdale every Sunday morning. But former ownership or management let the course deteriorate to the point that grass was growing in the greenside bunkers and rough was not being mowed. I had heard rumors the course had improved and I found that to be the case big-time last Friday. Fairways were lush & the rough was penal but if you ended up in the rough you could at least find your ball & advance it forward.
Worth what I paid
The course obviously needs some work but over all for what I payed it was fair. Greens were decent and if anything needed more grass in the fairways but that seems the case at every golf course I played at the prices I paid.
Better each time
I’ve played Northdale 4 times in the past 6 months. Each time I’ve played I have noticed a difference in the course. The maintenance has greatly improved the fairways and especially the greens.
Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to returning.
Totally impressed!
I have not played this course in years. However, I'm glad I revisited Northdale! The course in excellent condition, you can tell the course maintenance employees have turned this course around. And now with new owners coming in, it's going to be interesting to see this fantastic course get even better.
To Keith, Renee, Karen in the dining room....the starter...everyone was very welcoming....everything was a ten plus!
Its my go to course nice layout
Grass to greens were great.just have to get rid of the water monster that keeps grabbing my balls
Great Value for the Money
As the fairways and greens improve with Spring approaching the course is in good condition. We played on a Friday and pace of play was right at 4 hours. Enjoyed the course and will return.
Getting Better
I stopped playing here for the past 2 years even as it is the closest golf course to home but I've been reading better reviews and Northdale Golf Course conditions have improved significantly. Esspecially the fairways and the approach chipping areas. The greens are decent, different from before when they used to be fast, now a bit slower.
The design of the course is challenging especially where water and trees will push you to hit very accurate shots.
I definitely see improvement and when they get the greens smoother and fill in some of the sandy patches in the fairways the course will be able to return to its past greatness.
It isn't an easy course by any means.
