Decent Course - But no pace of play enforced..

Course is pretty decent, well kept, fairly easy to play. Too bad there is zero enforcement on pace of play, despite teeing off 35min late, the course was still extremely slow. We gave up after it took 5hrs to play 15 holes.

Starter is terrible

couldn’t find the starter when we were trying to get a cart and did our when we were up because he was putting ! When we asked when we were supposed to tee off he got upset that we asked and continued to putt despite a 45 minute delay! Course is great but because of the starter it took us 7 hours to finish the course because everyone was right on top of each other. Love this course but we may not be back to play with the price there should be someone coherent sending out groups.

Best value in the area!

I’ve been playing at Herndon Centennial several times a year since the late 80’s and its a favorite of mine. When my home course at Belmont Country Club is closed on Mondays, Herndon Centennial is my 1st choice.

I didn’t rate staff or amenities, because during the pandemic, I haven’t had any experience with either.

Too much Goose Poop

Course was in okay condition. The traps were racked or fluffed so it made it very difficult to play out of the bunkers. The goose poop was ridiculous. I understand it’s Impossible to control the amount of poop, but just be aware the fairways were covered in these landlines. All that said, always enjoy playing at this course.

Geese poop

Too many holes, 7 to 9 I estimate, were covered with goose poop. Including some tee boxes. Impossible to walk without stepping in or running over droppings.

Fun walking course

Nice course to walk. The greens have enough to make you worried if you miss on the wrong side. Green speed was not bad and always great to play golf in December.

Nice inexpensive course

It was not too difficult but definitely a fun play. It was very walkable. I got out very early and had the course to myself for most of the round. I would play again.
