In summary

Northwest Golf Club is appreciated for its beautiful layout, challenging length, and friendly staff, with many visitors enjoying the well-equipped driving range featuring modern technology. The course offers a peaceful atmosphere and is generally well-maintained, although some guests have noted issues with course conditions, such as patchy fairways, weedy tee boxes, and bumpy greens, which detract from the overall experience. Additionally, there are concerns about the pace of play and management during busy times, leading to mixed reviews about the value for the price.

Review for the driving range. Large and clean with decent prices. Don't go at sunset though because you'll be looking straight into the sun. PS watch out for mosquitoes during the summer

Took some lessons here with Billy and they were definitely worth the price. He was very patient with a high handicap golfer such as myself and the things he taught me definitely helped lower my scores. They also added top tracers to the range which is always nice to have. 100% recommend getting lessons with Billy they helped me finally break 100.

This isn’t really a four-star course. The people working here are great, they run an efficient operation, but unfortunately the course just isn’t up to par with other courses in the area. You can drive 20 to 30 minutes further north and west and spend the same amount of money fora 4 to 5 star course that blows Northwest out of the water. On the positive side, everything is fairly well-maintained here and the bunkers are actually very above average. The course has a great layout and great length, especially in comparison to other courses in this area. The greens roll true and are pretty quick…

Great course and awesome practice range with shot trackers included with a bucket of balls. The fairways and greens are in excellent shape.

Beautiful and long course, good condition and enough variety to make it a challenge. Well stocked pro shop, snack bar and grill with above average fare and a clubhouse patio with a great view of the first tees. Well covered and heated driving range is a plus.

Got a very bad starter today (09/04/2025). I booked 4:05 pm. The pace is very slow due to some HS kids matching. We started on back 9, but decided to move on hole 18 from hole 10 as the HS kids not even on hole 17 yet. However, the starter (Kevin) was very rude and stopped us continually play hole 1. This is the first time we meet such a nonsense management member in Northwest. We have to cancel the play as we know there is no way we can even finish 9 holes .

Really disappointed in this one. I’ve had good experiences across the MC public courses but unfortunately this just wasn’t it. Fairways were choppy and had grass basically the same length as the rough. Although the staff were very friendly and welcoming, I can’t get past the poor conditions. Not sure what the deal with the tee boxes were and the score card being wrong for the 5th hole. Left after the 6th hole because the course was too backed up. Wish I could have left a better review because of the nice staff!

Great course. The challenge is the length. Large fairways and large greens. Not overly difficult, but the length of the course still make it a demanding golf course. You won't lose a lot of balls, but you need to execute your iron play and get your drives into places that will allow you to hit a clean shot into the greens. It is a good place to play for all skill levels. The course is also generally in good condition. They have done a lot of the years to help with the drainage issues. The only real complaint is that they could move a little quicker in the pro shop but everyone is typically ve…

Before booking, I checked online for their fall aeration dates. It stated they were scheduled for 25/26 August, which makes since they have a 2 person golf tournament scheduled for 23 August. As I arrived I could see the back 9 greens covered in sand. So instead of 25/25, they aerated 18/19 August making for terrible conditions. The course maintenance was in very bad shape on many holes. Very disappointed in their scheduling not being accurate and wasting a planned round in conditions that leave a lot to be desired for MCG golf.

While I am a long-time patron of MCG courses and have generally had positive experiences, particularly with my Eagle package over the past two years, I must express my disappointment with my recent round at Northwest Golf Course. Although I appreciate the efforts of the staff, the course conditions were unacceptable, particularly given the price. Observed Issues: * Patches in the fairways * Weedy tee boxes * Very bumpy greens These conditions do not justify the full price, especially considering the current fee structure. While I understand that COVID-19 may have influenced pricing, the cou…

Terrible experience. The people working were extremely pushy. Several players very loud and rude to others on the course. I will not be playing this course again
