Herndon Centennial Golf Course

I played HCGC last year with my son (12). It quickly became our favorite course. It is a small municipal course, but the conditions of the course are fantastic. They are rebuilding some tee boxes and hitting off mats isn't fun, but its nice to see a course (other local courses won't be named...) making course improvements and putting real effort into conditions. Pace of plan on this day was relatively slow (we finished 30 minutes longer than pace), but not terrible. Staff is always friendly. Egg Carne is a great start / mid-way stop for every round. I have nothing bad to say!

Little progress on getting tee boxes functional over the past several months... can't even record my score towards my handicap because of course condition.

Greens are soft and chewed up - most players not doing repairs.

Staff is nice and the course layout is good, but the course has been really beat up the entire season.

It took 3 hours to play 9 holes here. If you go, plan to wait behind 2 groups on every tee box. They are also redoing the tee boxes and you’ll be teeing up on an uneven surface with more dirt showing than grass. The temp tee boxes also turn most par 4s into par 3s, they shorten the course a ridiculous distance. Also your tee time does not matter to the starter, as they let later times just play whenever they want

This review is tainted by the tee box repairs happening at the course. Most tee boxes were closed and using temporary areas that were just a part of the rough before entering the fairway. The course probably played 1500 yards shorter than advertised.

I’d be inclined to return after it is finished but there was not a warning about these conditions at booking and I feel taken advantage of. I would have chosen another option.

Play multiple holes on temporary tees, making the conditions unrealistic.

Looks like their first attempts to replace the tees didn’t take and they are doing a second round. Probably half the holes are impacted, usually by decreasing the length of the holes by perhaps 100 yards. Would suggest not playing the course until the tee project has been completed.

Course was in terrible condition for the price. Most of the tee boxes were under maintenance. Basically hitting your tee shot in the rough on most holes. Left after 9 holes.

I paid for a golf cart and when I got there, they made me walk even though I paid for it. Understandably, it was a busy day, but I deserve a cart if I paid for it, especially on a 95 degree day. Also I got paired up with a guy who wasn’t so nice.

Due to whole repair for the all teeing ground, the temporary teeing box that was installed on the fairway was not well maintained, also too forwarded toward to the green, all of the holes are too short, shorter than the senior tee. That is too easy for players to play... not excited, too boring!

Most tee boxes are under construction. The temporary tee off areas are in horrible condition. The tee boxes completed were not cut so if felt like you were teeing off from the rough. Pace of play sucked. At times, there were two groups plus us waiting to tee off on some holes. Ranger just drove around and said nothing. I've enjoyed this course in the past but would not recommend right now until it is back to normal. Not really sure how they can charge full price under this condition.

Bad conditions. They need to apply discounts for sure.

Paid full price and showed up to find that almost every hole was under construction. The pace was also incredibly slow. I’ve played there before and love the course but have dealt with slow play before and felt that there should have been a warning this time that they didn’t have tee boxes for more than half the holes before I paid $80.

First time playing here. I was expecting a normal public course. It had rained a bit the previous few days prior to tee time. But there was ongoing course maintenance that made the experience not worth it. None of the tee boxes were operational. The ground was soaked (to be expected from all the rain earlier in the week). If I knew that there was so much course maintenance going on I would have paid extra and played a public/private course. ... they should give a free round or a serious discount.

Tee box renovations and groups of 5 and even 6 slowed up play but overall solid

We didn't realize 14/18 or so tee boxes were going to be under complete renovation. We hit off temporary tee areas / matts. The staff discounted the round accordingly. Generally solid fairways and greens. Starters and clubhouse staff were incredibly friendly. Despite the renovations, pace of play was a bit slow for a Friday morning. Will look forward to returning when renovations are completed, but for now I will avoid until they have a (nearly) full set of refurbished tee boxes.
