Northport Golf Course

Played Northport VA Golf Course today with two friends. We’re all in our 30s, pretty regular golfers, and were honestly just looking forward to a relaxed round on a nice day. Instead, we left annoyed and disrespected, and not because of the course or the other players, but because of how we were treated by one of the staff members. We ended up behind a single older gentleman who was walking the course. And to be totally clear — he wasn’t doing anything wrong. He was enjoying his round at his own pace, and that’s totally fine. We weren’t in any rush. We gave him space, waited when we had to, and just respected the flow of the game. The group behind us was doing the same. Everyone out there was being patient and courteous. Then out of nowhere, this guy from the clubhouse drives up to us around hole 6 or 7 and tells us to pick up the pace. It made zero sense. We were literally waiting every hole — sometimes just sitting in our carts — so we didn’t crowd the guy in front of us. And instead of asking what was going on, the staff member just came in with attitude, acting like we were holding up the whole course. It was disrespectful and completely unnecessary. We were doing everything right, and still got blamed. That kind of energy just kills the vibe, and honestly, it made what should’ve been a great day feel like a hassle. Everyone on the course was solid today — except the one guy who’s supposed to be managing it. Won’t be coming back unless they get someone in there who knows how to talk to people with respect. The guy who runs the register, handles out bottles of water, and complains to customers needs to play some golf and take a breath.

We've only recently begun playing this nine-hole course and really enjoy it, we knocked off one star because it can tend to be a bit slow taking two and a half hours and even longer sometimes. The staff are super friendly and it's affordable and the course is very forgiving if not hilly. I wish there were more drink and food options but that won't stop us from coming back.

Great 9 hole course to practice your game and hone your skills. The Northport VA Golf Course is in good shape and the staff is "golfer friendly" ... try it and you'll be "hooked"! Oh, by the way, did I mention their signature clubhouse "Oyster Bar"? Enjoy!😉 …
