Terribly slow pace of play

This is the second time I’ve been unable to finish a round at Penderbrook, because I’m unwilling to spend 5.5 to 6 hours on a round. It’s too bad since it is an interesting course layout, but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until they get new management.

Just ok

I would have given a higher score but the pace of play was awful on the back nine. There were literally 4 groups on one hole! Our tee time was in the middle of the day on a weekday so there is no excuse for the slow pace of play. A course ranger should have been managing this. We skipped 4 holes on the back nine to play the last 3 holes and on 17 we were waiting again. Crazy. I don't think I will be back when there are other options in the area like Laurel Hill in Lorton or Twin Lakes down the road in Clifton.

Looking into this further, I could see that our GPS Pace of Play system does not show any significant slow play and that the average pace was 3:39 for the day, which is well ahead of the 4:00 pace of play we have set. If you could reach out to me at babrams@penderbrookgolfclub.com and let me know your tee time I could investigate further.

Slowest round I have ever played

Most holes had 3 groups on it at once. 5 plus hour round on a course under 6000 yards is really bad. Marshall looked us square in face and said there is nothing he could do about pace of play. Only reason course got a 2 was the beverage court lady was absolutely amazing.

Course was good, get your grub before you come.

The course is good. Come for the golf that's it and that's the most important bit.

I would never recommend breaking the rules of a course. No outside alcholol is permitted. Be aware that two hotdogs and an irish coffee was 25 dollars.

Challenging and beautiful layout.

The course is very challenging and hard to compete with water hazards. Its designed layouts lot better than the 1757 GC at Ashburn as I experienced.

it's a shot maker's course

First, NO warm up range, just a net...that's bad

Second, it's a fun and challenging layout considering the tips are around 6200 yards

Third - LOTs of construction (new bunkers, etc) around the course, which wasn't so bad

It's a shot maker's course - if you can't hit your driver straight, leave it at home, you can be fine with a 3w..which is both good and bad. For a short course, the hole were fun and a bit of a challenge, the greens were lightning and tough but fair. If you prefer a "traditional" length and width, don't bother, this will test your accuracy and eye.

I'd love to return when it's grown in, it'll be fun to play again.

Also, @ $64, it's $30 cheaper than the other public cow pastures in the area, which is a positive too.

Hold It

Course conditions and layout were great, but lack of bathrooms...especially in consideration of female players is why I’m giving a lower rating...hole after the lane had a bathroom and it was “closed” and nothing was available until 18...UTI much?
