Northlands Golf Course Review






I first heard about Northlands from my golf buddy Rudy. He kept telling me to check this course out, finally checked their web site and was quite surprised with some of the accolades this course has received.

We played from the white tee's and total yards was just under 5700 yards. This seems quite short compared to other courses but the green's are very challenging and the fairways do not give to many favourable lies. This course will challenge all gofers and will give your clubs a workout. I was using every club in by bag.


I enjoyed this course on two occasions one week apart. I shot an 85 and an 88. The first round was in much cooler temperatures at twilight, paying $45.00 and walking the course. Walking this course is possible under the right conditions. The second round I played was in 30 degree temperatures and was definitely a cart day. The cost this day was $70.00 with green fees and half for the cart was $15.00.


Northlands has many elevations changes ranging from moderate to tough and on most occasions this would be a definite cart course. Overall course conditions were fantastic and the greens are very fast and sometimes unforgiving.


My best highlight was getting two eagles there. Once on the par 4 hole 13 and the par 5 hole 15.
