Northdale Golf & Tennis Club

Overview: Northdale Golf & Tennis Club is an 18-hole public course at 4417 Northdale Boulevard in Tampa. The current operator describes a par-72 Ron Garl layout with ponds, mature oaks and rolling fairways, while published course records list 6,824 yards from the championship tees. Four tee boxes and a daily tee-time program keep the course oriented toward regular public play.

History: Northdale was built in 1977 as the golf and tennis centerpiece of the surrounding Tampa neighborhood. Published course records describe a complete renovation in 2002 followed by additional upgrades in 2006. Under current ownership the property is being updated again, including an approved driving-range project on the former tennis-court area reported in 2026.

Did You Know? Water is part of the design rather than a single signature obstacle, with published playing notes identifying hazards on 11 holes. That distribution makes club selection and landing position important even though the course is framed by the broad, tree-lined feel of a Tampa neighborhood layout.
