Golfer Reviews
Discriminatory Behavior at JJ's Deli (Herndon Centennial Golf Course)
Upon completion of our 18 holes my friends and I went to JJ's Deli to cool down, we had a group of 8. The tables inside the clubhouse are situated to seat four to a table therefore we just pulled some chairs from the neighboring table (which was not occupied) to sit together. I stood up for a split second and an employee there took my chair and said she was cleaning up. I told her that I was using that chair and she became belligerent and began to scream at me. The owner of the course then came from the kitchen area and instead of inquiring as to what happened took an aggressive tone with me. Another patron saw me explaining the situation to him and even said "Jeff, she was wrong" (Jeff is the owner)...
However neither of them felt the need to apologize... To add further insult the belligerent employee than says "you know how these people are!" I am not sure what she meant by that, we had a diverse group of guys playing with us.
The poor customer service at JJ's Deli ruined the otherwise good day of golf at Herndon Centennial.
great course in middle of Herndon
Course was very well kept and pace of play was good. Difficulty wise it was average difficulty.
I will definitely play there again.
A great place!
I definitely recommend this course. It has some 3's, some 5's, and the greens were great!
Very nice municipal course!
One of the nicest maintained municipal courses I've played. The pace of play was extremely slow for the first 9 holes--but this was due to an office outing with extremely slow players. The men we played with said this was unusual. The second 9 played at a very good pace after these folks departed. The course is friendly in terms of losing golf balls. Fairly wide open. The greens are pretty fast--easy to 3-putt.
Good Local Course
I'm not sure how, but I was able to book a party of two with a cart for under $30/pp before tax. The rate was available through golfnow.com, and we actually teed off 20 minutes before our scheduled time of 1345.
We were paired with a walker, local to the course, who was very helpful in describing how to play each hole. The fairways were in great condition, as were the greens, but they were somewhat lacking. The par 5s are definitely eagle-possible and the par 3s are very short.
All-in-all an enjoyable experience. I plan to play this course again in the future.
Nice course
The course is nice, still not able to make single tee time., would be nice if that was fixed.
Dont play on wednesday is a ladies league day, and well you know how that pace of play is.
It is a nice course, so guys how about enabling golfnow app to book a single tee time?
If you are in reston, and reston national is too expensive , try this, you might have more fun.
Great Condition for a Municipal Course
This is the first time I had played here in a few years and the course was in great shape. Luckily we had an early tee time and got through in just under 4 hours, but looking back at other holes, there were quite a few back ups by the time we finished our round.
The course is pretty wide open so you're likely to find your ball on wild shots. It was a perfect course to test out anew driver that I wasn't totally comfortable with.
Overall, this course is a little expensive for a municipal course, but the conditions of the entire course (greens, tees, fairways, and rough) more than made up for the few extra dollars. I'll be back to play here for sure.
Good condition
The course was in good shape. As in most municipal course in the DC area, pace of play is rather slow as expected. I don't know if I'd pay $60 for a Friday afternoon round here but I got a great deal from golfnow.com..
Nice course for walking
Herndon Centennial is very well maintained, and a very nice place to walk. The terrain is mostly flat with slight rolling mounds and some slope to fairways. The tees have a broad range of distances so it's a fair test of golf. The greens, fairways, and tee boxs are in excellent condition.
Good course, great staff
The course is in great shape. Good lies in the fairway, and the greens are quick but not fast, and they roll true. It's not that long, but the greens have enough undulations to make a round very interesting.
You can shoot a good score here, even if your play is just average.
Great public course
Good course, with variety of hole lengths that allow you to play all clubs. Well maintained, except this time we played, the grass needed to be cut in all areas from rough to greens to tee boxes. Great value for the money.
Very Nice Course
Course in great shape as usual. For a Friday afternoon the pace was great, less than four hours for our foursome. The GolfNow price is great because the rates are going up every year at Herndon. I live in Herndon and very, very seldom play there on a weekend even though the rate is a bit cheaper for a town resident. It is a very nice course and GolfNow is the way to go if you want to play there. It would be nice if there were a few more times to choose from.
Very slow pace of play!
I've been playing this course a lot and it is usually in good condition. The problem is the pace of play! Last weekend it was a new all time low. After 16 wholes played and 5 hr 45 min later, I had to leave the course because of other commitments! We asked the pro-shop to send out marshalls on the course, but nothing happen in regards to the pace of play. Stay away from this course if you want to play under 5 hours!
Good, honest golf
Your basic golf course that will be enjoyable for the average beginner to intermediate golfer. Highly skilled golfers may find it boring and without challenge. Laid back atmosphere and cordial staff. The pulled bbq pork sandwich is not to be missed. Very lean and generous serving size. Tasty! Many birdie holes on this course; good course for the ego. Clubhouse could use a bit more pizzazz, but good enough to grab a dog and a brew. Course condition decent for winter golf. No complaints.
Nice course, in very nice condition.
While not the most challenging course design, the conditions (for a muni) more than made up for it. Well maintained fairways and tightly cut greens are rare for a course in this price range (golfnow hot deal for $18). Pace of play was pretty speedy (Wed afternoon), a pleasant change.
This course was in good condition, but not very exciting.
First, let me say that it rained 6 inched the week before, so it was no surprise that it was cart path only the day that I played. The course was in good shape but the greens needed mowing because they were so slow!
The course is rather tame. Water comes into play on only 1 hole (unless you hit a really bad slice on #3). Elevation change is rather minor. There are trees to contend with, but not too many areas where you could lose your ball.
Overall, it was a great value for $18.
Pleasantly suprised
Played it on whim due to a hot deal from golf now. Glad I did, will definately revisit. Cant ask much more out of a muni.
Beautiful conditions and not to difficult
The course is in beautiful shape at this time of year. The fairways and greens were pristine, and the rough difficult. But the landing areas are forgiving and it makes for a very enjoyable day. Staff were great. It is municipal, so pace of play can get slowed down with beginners, but everyone gracious about allowing play-through.
