Hot day to play golf at Herndon Centennial

Love playing this course despite the humid hot weather. Fairways and greens were nice, hope players fix their divot marks on greens. Tee boxes do need some TLC. Overall, I would like to comeback and play. One more kudos, to folks managing the course, I want to state that Herndon has the best looking condition and well kept putting green in any public golf course around NOVA.

Short, but fun's track

Not very long even from the tips (maybe 6100?) Long hitters can get over most trouble, but still will require iron tee shots on several holes which keeps it interesting. Greens are normally pretty slow but consistent.

Overall great course for the price, however pace can be very slow.

Enjoyed the course

Nice layout. Greens were in great shape. 1sr cut of rough did need cutting but because of weather, I understand. Course allowed me to enjoy my round instead of constant challenge.

Loved the greens ...

It's so early in the year, the greens were in excellent condition. Very few - if any - dry spots. Fairways were pretty good as well.

Overpriced Muni

It's just an overpriced muni. They don't even send you out with tees in your cart. It's pretty pathetic. Everything there is overpriced, not just the golf.. The only redeeming factor with this course is the course condition, which is good. Greens are a bit furry, but not too bad. I do see why a lot of golfers like the place. The course is so short that they can feel like they're hitting the ball farther than they are. I was outdriving the guy in my group with an 8 iron. It was a little silly. Anyway, if you're a short hitter and you want to feel like a legit golfer, or you have a score goal that yoiu just can't seem to hit, play this course. You'll probably score a few strokes better than you normally do and you'll feel like you have better approach distances. Everybody else should avoid this place. Overpriced course and concessions, no warm up balls, mat driving range(the range is completely pathetic), horrendous pace of play, it's just not worth spending your money on. Pay a few extra bucks and go to Stonewall. He ll, even Reston National would be preferrable to this place, and I'm no fan of Reston National.

Herndon Centennial is a nice course at a great price in NOVA

Played the course in June 2024, it’s in great shape this year. The staff is helpful and the on course restaurant Egg Karen is legit one of the best because it offers more than the usual golf course options - highly recommend the chicken and ube waffles.

Nice Course

I would rate it between 3.5 and 4.0.

Nice fun course. Good condition. Definitely opportunity to score! I’m from Jersey and this is only the second course near Tysons that I’ve played (Twin Lakes is the other one)…and wow, you have to hit the fairway or good luck finding your ball in the first cut rough.

Slow play

Pro sends multiple 9 hole groups off the back right before first tee times are making the turn which sends everything to a grinding halt. They should limit back nine tee time to one hour after first tee time to keep up pace of play and not punish players that are out early.
