Penderbrook golf course

The course was decent conditions for cold weather. There are alot better options available for the cost. Selected course because it was close to home. However for the price and pace of play it was not worth it. I could of traveled 20 minutes further out and finished the round faster.

Hello, and thank you for taking time to write a review, we appreciate your feedback. As pace of play is very important to us at Penderbrook Golf Club, we recently installed Vantage Tag GPS Pace of Play monitoring system in every golf cart to help us better monitor pace and keep pace of play more enjoyable for everyone. Looking back at the data from your day of play and around your tee time, we could only find one group that was behind pace by 3 minutes, all others were either on time or slightly ahead of pace. We thank you for your feedback and you are more than welcome to reach out to our Director of Golf at BAbrams@penderbrookgolfclub.com with any more of your concerns.

Good value, great shape for the winter

Conditions were not good, about 45 with a 15-20mph wind blowing constantly making the windchill about 36. Course is in really good shape for winter conditions, green firm and reasonably quick for a public course. They are working on bunkers in phases, so the back 9 all bunkers are considered "ground under repair" and in some cases, completely torn up. Part of making he course better. Course has never drained very well so despite minimal rainfall the past 3-4 days, still cart path only and hole 11 in particular (with the little pond) has always been REALLY bad. Pro shop attendant and bartender very friendly, and they even did a little happy hour at course close (5ish pm) with free food and discounted beers. Pretty neat deal for the offseason.

There was a two-hour frost delay so the backup was obvious therefore the management should proactively speed up the pace to prevent further delay. At the 8th hole, the previous group was not moving for a very long time so I called clubhouse to get help with the slow pace problem. The guy at clubhouse said there is nothing they can do. I saw the two ladies hit the balls into pond and they hit three or four balls at the drop zone! It’s unbelievable. They should learn to pick up the balls after too many bad shots and be considerate, especially in a crowded afternoon play.

Golf rate and pace of play

Penderbrook is a $50-60 course max! Coupled with the very slow pace of slow it’s difficult to find a rhythm in the round. Additionally, I recommend placing fairway barber poles on 11, 12, 17, and 18 so golfers no where the 250 or 150 marks are located. This could increase the pace of play as golfers would choose the rate club selection.

Good Place to Play

Course layout is good and conditions were pretty good. Greens rolled great. Pace of play is pretty slow, but they seem to do what they can to keep things moving.

Good round for the price.
