Description

Northwest’s Regulation 18 delivers a full public round that generally offers variety, solid pacing, and a fair test for many handicaps. The layout often rewards golfers who keep tee shots in play and play to smart targets into greens rather than forcing aggressive lines. Scoring tends to come from clean approach play and limiting mistakes, especially if conditions are firm or greens are running quick. It’s the type of course that can host everything from casual rounds to league play because it stays engaging without feeling punishing. Northwest Regulation 18 feels like dependable community golf with enough strategy to stay interesting.

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. The negatives are just that there are a lot of patchy spots on both the fairways and the greens. The tee boxes aren’t very well-maintained, generally you are teeing up in a divot or sandy spot. There are weeds growing on the tee boxes as well, not a huge deal, just not a great look for a golf course. There are so many areas just off the rough that seem like they could be cleaned up so easily, it’s unclear why they aren’t. Pipes spewing water into the creek on two separate holes was odd as well. So much potential here with the layout. If I could give it 3.5 stars I probably would, as it’s hard to beat the location of this course. Needs too many improvements though.

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 .
