Great course

This is a fun course to play. Unfortunately Herndon had had a lot of rain and the course was very very wet and cart paths only. Since it is a long course it was a lot of work to walk. However, the course is fun to play and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this course, but I would wait for a dryer day

Wet day on the course

There was a significant amount of rain that fell overnight resulting in cart path only conditions. Many of the fairways had standing water. Aside from the wet areas, the fairways were in good shape, as were the greens. Great course to walk. Staff are very welcome.

Good day

Not a long course, but tight on shorter holes and challenging pin positions on smaller greens. It's a place you can score well if you hit good shots and very playable for players that aren't super long. Greens had lots of ball marks like everywhere around here this time of year but rolled nicely. Some tee boxes were very beat up. Didn't have to go inside to check in which was also nice in these times. Good value and worth a shot if you haven't played.

Always a fun track. Greens are in the best condition Of any sub-$120 course in the area. Doing well handling the rain & heat. Big props to the grounds crew for keeping the course looking great!

Good Course for the Price

There are some holes that still have standing water and hazards on the fairways. Hoping it drys up soon so conditions improve. Overall, our pace for 18 holes was 4 hours and 45 mins, and the course was in fairly good condition. Will play here again.

All Good

Course is in good shape. Some of the tee boxes need a little work but its easily adjusted around. Pace of play was almost three hours for nine. Definitely worth the money if you have the time.

A No.Va. muni with good location and fun to play

Herndon Centennial is not the hardest course around, but it is a good place to walk 18 at a reasonable price and easy to get to from most spots within No.Va.

In early August, the conditions were the worst I'd seen, with many fairways lost and generally unkempt. But the greens are usually good and the bunkers well maintained.

Very walkable, except for the requirement to cross the W&OD trail four times, adding to the distance.

The design is fairly benign, but you will get some variety,, from the tight tree-lined par 5 15th to a wide-open drive on 17, for example. Overall, the course is pretty short, offering an opportunity to shoot a good score.

There is a driving range, but it's not the best.

Used cart

Wet Course

The area had received considerable rain and it left the course wet. Consequently, the cart rule was cart path only and that slowed the pace of play. However, it was still a good round of gulf.
