I recently joined Northgate Country Club.
The course has 27 holes, Bunkers, Bridges and Creek and was designed by Von Hagge. If you are familiar with his designs, you will know that this means from the tips the challenge will be all you can ask for and the quality of golf is top notch. There are enough tee positions that the course has the appropriate level of golf for all players. There are contour and elevation changes, plenty of water hazards along with a plethora of bunkers to provide you with all of the obstacles needed to protect par from being easily attained.
Course conditions are always very good. The pro shop is well stocked and full of friendly staff to help you with whatever your golf needs are. There is a nice driving range and three putting greens/practice areas. There are a variety of food and beverage options.
And the membership is very friendly.
There is a very nice tennis facility with it's own clubhouse. And a large pool complex behind the main clubhouse and dining facilities.
If you have opportunity to get out and play here, take it. You will surely enjoy yourself with a day at Northgate.0
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse, Pro Shop
