Northstar California Golf Course

The greens were top notch. Super fast like putting on linoleum but they were not hard so they accepted a fair and aggressive shot. Back nine will play u if u don't play it. Club selection key here.

From the friendly greeting by the efficient staff to the wipedown of our clubs at the end of our round, our golf outing at Northstar was a great time. Even though the course beat me up a little, I loved the challenge it provided. It was tough but fair with true rolling fast greens. Long hitters didn't always have an advantage and accuracy and good course management provided the better scores. Do listen carefully to the marshal's advice as course knowledge will gain you several strokes. Will be back.

Nice greens, above average staff, lotta play yet good condition

Marshal was constantly around yet refused to enforce pace-of-play issues for the foursome ahead of us. A 5 hour round is not acceptable. Staff friendly enough

The staff were friendly and accommodating, they exceeded expectations as they helped us by putting our clubs on our carts and saw us to the 1st tee.

The course was in good condition as all greens and tees were easily found, with the exception of one holt which we didn't notice the signage. Extremely enjoyable to play the course.

Look forward to returning again. First time playing be sure to have extra sleeve of balls just in case you get wild on tee shots.

We had a great day.

What I like about this course is the front nine allows you to get your game together with mostly wide open fairways where you can pretty much "grip it and rip it" and then you go into a back nine that is much more technical and requires significant accuracy.

Front was open and challenging Some very nice holes Good par 3s on both sides

Back nine is short and tight but fair and rewarding Aim for 150osts from the tees

Try it and you'll like it

This was my first time playing this course and I loved it!! It was like playing 2 different courses in one round. The front nine is played in a meadow setting and the back nine is a mountain course. Both have spectacular views. The starter was very helpful in providing many tips to playing the course. The scorecard also has great tips for each hole, all of which came in very handy. The cart girl was very attentive and very pleasant. The pro shop staff were also very friendly and helpful and so were the golf cart attendants and bartender. Overall this was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back and play again. *****

Two different Nines. Front 9 is open with great scoring opportunities, back is target golf in the pines. Played to rounds, had a lot of fun. Great staff!

Front 9 was pretty open with wide fairways. Back 9 was more challenging with more narrow fairways and more target golf shots. Course was in good shape with very fast greens.

The front nine is in the valley and relatively straightforward. The back nine on the other hand is in the mountains. It is very beautiful, but quite difficult. If you have not played here, pay attention to the scorecard which gives a nice description of each hole's layout. It is a shot makers paradise and a lot of fun.

Staff was super friendly. Had issue with my GolfNow reservation being not acknowledged by the course, so I showed up with no tee time, but they squeezed me in anyway and gave me a discount to boot. As far as the course, the second 9 was very difficult compared to the first due to much more rugged terrain. I played terribly, but not because of course conditions. I would recommend this course and hope to get a chance to play it again.

Back 9 is beautiful and fun to play, but, local knowledge is required.

staff was great, both on the phone and in-person.

course is ok - front 9 is in the meadow and it was soft/mushy in most places - had water coming into my shoes in a dozen shots or so, even as dry as it has been up here. Greens were pretty good and the layout of the front 9 is a good play. Yellow Jackets are everywhere and one of our group was bitten/stung - changed the round going forward as we all were hyper-aware of how many there were around us. Back 9 is tight and almost feels like the resort decided they should add 9 more holes, even through the layout wouldn't be that great. Several blind/tight shots that can cost you strokes and frustration even if you hit a good tee shot. Worth a play if you just have to play it, but bring your bug-spray, and hit a lot of irons off the tee on the back 9.

Unfortunately we were treated like Interlopers. Booking on GolfNow tagged us has something other than Preferred Guests. We were told for an additional fee we could go out at a more 'preferred' time, so the Tee Box at the beginning stood open for about an hour --- a completely ridiculous response by the golf course to the good deal we got through golf now. Back nine is a very cool layout while front is barely average, so, overall a worthwhile round in spite of the silly management trick thet tried to pull on us.

Staff was friendly & helpful. A tale of two courses. Front nine was wide open & rather warm; back nine narrow had to lay up but was cooler. Good thing we had a 89 year old man who play the course 3 xs a week , was a great help to how the holes played
