A great round at Penderbrook
After 10 days of rain, we finally got a day of sunshine. I was surprised the course wasn't packed.
So we had a nice relaxing round of play with perfect 70s° weather.
Am looking forward to playing golf there again for a 9 and Wine round with friends!
Waste of Money
We got there for a 2:30 tee time. The first 3 holes were empty, and we were instructed to start on the eighth hole. We get there and couldn’t start for 20 minutes due to the poor pace of play. We ended up only playing 8 holes in three hours and left before getting to finish because it was so backed up. I have played here many times, and this was truly a disappointment. This was frustrating, as I paid to play 18 holes.
Army golfer
Good course and we loved the layout. Would you spect a little better course conditions for 100 dollars. No driving range and some of the greens were stressed. Overall good but pricey.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello, we are glad you enjoyed your experience and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. As of now, there are 5 greens that still have smaller stressed areas from last year, but they are improving daily and are hopeful they will be fully healed in the coming weeks. We try our best to inform all customers of this before booking by stating it in the tee time notes.
We hope to see you again soon.
Have a great day!
Very Nice Course
Wow, i always bring out of town guest to this course for a great time and beautiful course /greens. Don’t let the short yardage on some holes fool you. Play the high percentage shots and get your par.. it temps you to try pro shots you’ve seen on TV and somehow think, yeah i can do that😂
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello, we are glad you enjoyed your experience and happy that you enjoy the challenges the course has to offer.
Thank you for being a loyal customer and we hope to see you again soon.
Have a great day!
Conditions not with money
The conditions were not worth how expensive this course was! 100 bucks is insane! This course has so much potential but as of now don't pay more than 60! Won't play again this year.
What happened to this course…
A couple years ago this course was 60 bucks and for that I could except these type of shenanigans with ground under repair all the time but not for 100+. Won’t be coming back.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Your tee time was on a Sunday, the price per player has not been $60 in close to 10 years. However, we do still offer rates around $60 on weekday afternoons, as pricing on weekends is always higher.
We are unsure of what you are considering “ground under repair all of the time” as there are maybe two very small areas on the course that are ground under repair currently. As far as other conditions, all tee times have notes in them stating specific issues with 4 or the greens that is continuously improving and are close to being fully healed. We do our best to inform all customers booking online of any issues with conditions within the tee-time notes sections. Those notes are still listed on all tee times currently.
Have a nice day
Poor Value
Conditions were super mediocre for a $100+ round. Greens were very slow, with some bare/sandy patches. Pace of play was around 4:30, but that’s a long round for such a short course. There really isn’t enough land here for a golf course, but they squeezed one in. Back 9 is more fun and higher quality than the front.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello,
Yes, four of the greens have larger stressed areas, which is why all tee times have the following notes:
“Course update - four of the putting greens have larger stressed areas. Those areas have been seeded and topdressed(sand). We have seen improvements in those areas, but they are still recovering at this time.”
We have done our best to inform all customers before booking of the issues.
Aeration is planned for 4/13 & 4/14, which should help these areas recover.
Although we strive for a 4:00 pace of play, one extremely busy weekend days, like the Saturday that you played, rounds may take 4:20 – 4:30. We use GPS software to continuously monitor pace of play.
Have a nice day
Almost great
Penderbrook is a narrow course with a great layout and a few really fun holes. The staff is one of the best and friendliest in the area. The drawbacks are it's not always in the best shape (it looks like sections may easily flood), there is no range to warm up on )they do have a net area, but that's just weird.), and you often feel like townhouses are right on top of you. So some stuff could be better, but overall a pretty good experience. I'll keep going back.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we are glad you enjoy playing Penderbrook Golf Club! We are hopeful that the upcoming growing season helps with lingering conditions from last year’s tough weather.
We hope to see you again soon.
Have a great day!
Shameful
Course conditions are a disgrace.
Areas being repaired had no GUR signage.
There was no turf or grass on any fairway. I literally played off dirt many times.
Every green was covered with pock marks making it impossible to get true rolls.
Small tree branches on the fairways was not uncommon.
Greens had no approach area around them. You are on the green or on the fairway, nothing in between.
They have the nerve to charge full green fee. I’ve requested a partial refund.
Worst course I ever played.
The course hasn’t been well maintained for years.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello,
As we have responded to your e-mail and other review, your playing partner who booked the tee time was made aware of current conditions when booking online with a course alert, tee time notes, and confirmation e-mail. All of those state the following.
"PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE BOOKING –
Irrigation improvement project has been completed at this point. Some small areas are impacted by the work that has been completed.
Effective December 1st, 2025 it will be CART PATH ONLY until further notice.
Five of the greens have smaller stressed areas, over the winter months, those smaller areas will be covered by tarps to help with healing.”
Fairways are Bermuda grass, which turns yellow in color when it is dormant, but there most certainly is turf. We are also 3 weeks removed from the course being covered in snow for 6 weeks, and it being in the 20’s overnight three days prior to your tee time. You paid a winter rate, which is lower in price because it is understood that the course isn’t in prime season condition.
There are some larger mounding that has yet to be sodded on two holes, which although are not labelled “GUR”, would very obviously fall under the “abnormal ground conditions” part of the rules, so they do not need to be labelled.
We do not refund players as they were clearly made aware of the current conditions at the time of booking.

Hello,
As mentioned in your e-mail response, your playing partner who booked the tee time was well aware that conditions were not ideal. Every tee time booked has a course alert and the following is stated in the tee time notes and confirmation e-mail:
"PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE BOOKING –
Irrigation improvement project has been completed at this point. Some small areas are impacted by the work that has been completed.
Effective December 1st, 2025 it will be CART PATH ONLY until further notice.
Five of the greens have smaller stressed areas, over the winter months, those smaller areas will be covered by tarps to help with healing.”
The fairways and approaches are Bermuda grass, which goes dormant in the winter and turns yellow in color, but there is still turf. The course was also covered in snow/ice for 6 weeks and was in the 20’s three days before your tee time. For all of those reasons, the rate is still currently our winter rate, which is lower than season rate because conditions are not ideal during those months.
Have a nice day
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello,
Thank you for your review. We understand that the conditions weren't the best when you played, but we tried to inform all players before they book to the current conditions. All tee times have a "Course Alert" and state the following in the course notes.
“The tee time notes state "ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS - Drill & fill aeration was performed on October 14th and 15th, 2025 and will impact the smoothness and speed of the greens.
Course update - four of the putting greens have larger stressed areas from the extreme weather we experienced earlier in the summer.
Those areas have been seeded and topdressed(sand). We have seen improvements in those areas, but they are still recovering currently"
As the temperatures warm and the grass starts to grow, up we anticipate those areas improving back to normal conditions.
We hope to see you again soon.
Have a great day!
Penderbrook Golf Club
Hello,
We are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We see that you said pace was poor but our tee sheet shows that you went off 16 minutes ahead of your tee time and all groups that day played under our 4:00 hour set pace. Could you please reach out to info@penderbrookgolfclub.com to discuss your experience further as we take pace of play very seriously.
Thanks
Great bang for your buck and location
Can’t beat the price you pay for a nice course in the middle of Fairfax. About 5-6 really nice water holes. Layout isn’t overly difficult but no forgiveness for any slicing or hooking. The summer beat the greens up pretty bad this year. Clubhouse has a great patio and good food for post round. No range to practice but no problem with gripping and ripping.

Greens recovering
Course in good shape and greens recovering from hole punching.

Thanks
Nice layout fir the course, staff was very professional and friendly. However the course itself was not in the best condition! At least half of the course had reseeding going on and had some really bad greens, tee boxes and fairways sprinkled throughout the course.
Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello,
Thank you for coming out to play Penderbrook Golf Club. There are 4 greens and parts of 4 fairways that are cool season grasses that had struggled through the extreme weather earlier in the summer. We have posted two course alerts and the following in the notes section of every tee time “****Attention Golfers**** Course update - four of the putting greens have larger stressed areas from the extreme weather we experienced earlier in the summer. Those areas have been seeded and topdressed(sand). We have seen improvements in those areas but they are still recovering at this time.”
We hope to see you out again soon.
Have a great day!
Very patchy greens
The greens were very, very patchy, making the ball bounce and ricochet when putted. Honestly I have never seen greens in such condition before. The tee box and fairway and other overall conditions were good.

Terrible and a ripoff
Charged $85 for a course in absolutely abysmal condition from tee boxes to greens. Never playing again…
I wanted to like it … one and done
The first thing you see when you check in is mosquito repellent at the desk. That should’ve been the first thing I bought. The staff tried to sell me a frequent player card upon check in, but I was just visiting..I get into a cart that has a cracked seat and cracked windshield , no GPS I guess for $95 I was expecting more. There is no range, but they have a net. You can practice with. I put the ball down on the mat and it rolled to my feet because the mats are not level.
The putting green was atrocious. I was hoping it was the only green that looked like that, but it was not. I got a Gatorade from the beverage cart. Cost was $3.18 really $.18 who carries around $.18 I was given a cup of ice with no lid and quickly spilled the drink all over the cart because the cart path is full of bumps from cracks. we did play in four hours which was amazing on a Saturday morning. I had lunch in Mulligan‘s pub server was friendly. My coleslaw was warm and my pulled pork sandwich was mediocre at best.

Penderbrook Golf Club,
Hello, looking back at GPS cart data from your round, it looks as if you started at 2:29pm and finished your 18-hole round at 6:59pm. On Tuesdays, all players start on hole #8 to allow for maintenance to work on the first seven holes interrupted in the mornings. On Tuesday, you will play hole #8 through hole #7 (18-Holes). Your day of play, it was extremely busy between noon to 3:00pm, only having 6 of 56 spots still available. Unfortunately, the pace was not the 4:00 we strive for, but during extremely busy times it may be closer to 4:20 to 4:30.
If you could please reach out to management at info@penderbrookgolfclub.com we would like to discuss your visit directly with you since our data shows something different than you may have experienced.
Thanks, and have a great day
