Northwoods Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Northwoods Golf Club is one of the Columbia area's premier public courses. P.B. Dye, son of renowned course architect Pete Dye, designed the layout, incorporating some of his father's signature features. The golf course is player friendly enough to appeal to any skill level but there are some challenges in store as well. Mature trees line most of the fairways and there are a few strategically placed bunkers that come into play. You won't come across much water on this golf course and it's not terribly long either. It's gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. The golf course's signature hole is the par-4 14th, which features the famous Dye railroad ties bordering a lake that hugs the bunkered green. Northwoods G.C. also offers a practice facility with a lighted driving range and putting green.

Great place for money just wish there were gps and ball/club cleaners on cart but other than that the place is great
Beat rates in Columbia.
friendly staff and the golf course is in good condition compared to other courses in the area. I recommend to anyone one of the golf courses with the most affordable Rates
Great golf day!
Course is in great shape & offers a fun but not overwhelming layout. We have played here 4-5x since May and the quality remains the same. We will be back!
Great place, nice course, very nice and challenging greens.
I’d definitely play here again
My only real complaint is the rudeness of the snack bar help. But hey, her loss, no tip.
Good golf course
The course was in ok condition, but that is to be expected since the days before they got hit heavy with rain. The greens were in perfect condition, plenty fast for putting. Some holes had mud with 120 yards of the green but I think that should clear up with more sun and time. Overall great course and a great price for a weekday round.
A Great SC Golf Course!
This was a great experience. From the initial walk into the club house and being greeted, to sitting in premium leather seats on the golf cart, this has it all. The pace of play was decent, we got held up by an elderly foursome on the back nine. The course was challenging and well kept. If I were to offer any criticism, it would be for the course to improve their tee boxes; they were in rough shape (white tees).
