Impressive condition for late Oct

I've played numerous courses around northern virginia in the last couple of months and due to the rainfalll a lot of them have struggled to keep their tee boxes, fairways and greens in good condition.

This was not the case today at penderbrook. The entire course was well maintained. Would definitely play here again.

Nice layout. Several challenging holes. Condition of course was average, would have been hard if we didn't agree to roll the balls in the fairway. Great patio for a drink after the round!

Surprisingly nice course - even in mid October!

Had a great first outing here and met some great guys who were playing Penderbrook for their 40th time this year. Quite an endorsement. Course was in excellent condition for this time of year and well-managed during times of Covid. Great experience!

Not bad but needs some work

the course had lots of wet conditions when we havent had rain in days. There are many areas being resoded which makes an already shorter course tighter. The staff was excellent and the others on the course were very nice. The course was okay but not in the shape to justify some of the greens fee rates, I have seen there in recent memory.

Good course for the money

Played for the first time today and it was a pleasant surprise. Course wasn't anything special but it was nicer then I expected. A couple holes had very unique designs that kept the round interesting. Some holes they are obviously still repairing but all in all most holes were in good shape. It's slightly annoying that carts are cart path only bit that's not a big deal. Will 100% be back.

Nice course, beautiful nature

I didn't play the course the last six months and today I was surprised how much has been going on. A very positive development - better course conditions, some greens redone, it is nicer than before.

Under repair

Normally a great layout but with all the construction going on, you feel like you’re playing on a construction site. Glad to see all the repairs going on but to me, $76 to play right now just isn’t worth it. Can’t wait to play it when it’s in better condition again.

Lots of bald spots

Maybe next year the grass will have grown in and the fairways and fringe will be in good condition.

Beautiful but challenging course

Second time playing at Penderbrook. The course is beautiful but very challenging as the fairway is quite narrow. Lost quite a few balls when my Driver slice or draw

Great Value

Great value. Glad I like to walk since it is cart path only. Looks like they have been doing a lot of work and new grass that was planted needs to grow in. Greens were still growing back since air rating but were in good shape.

Good course, lousy pace of play

Good layout, with some well maintained greens. Fairways were in pretty rough shape in spots, but that doesn’t matter to me as much. Greens were excellent. Pace of play was abysmal. Our foursome waited on every single shot, and two of us were walking. Another course trying to pack in tee times at the expense of pace of play. Took us over two hours to finish 7 holes, which is where I stopped.

Love the improvements

I started playing Penderbrook a little more than a year ago. I would say, at the time, it needed some work. However, they have been systematically upgrading and improving everything over time.

I feel the club has a lot of character from the super friendly staff to Mulligan's Pub. (I heartily recommend the Sunday buffet. Great food, great value for money,)

The staff is on top of pace of play more so than I have seen at other clubs, which is appreciated. I consider this a very "fair" course for the player, in that you can play a good round without having to be lucky. While there are many courses closer to us, Penderbrook is worth the extra few minute drive.

Very nice

I live here in the community and have watched the improvements yearly. It has become a very enjoyable course. Not necessarily for a beginner but the staff if very helpful. The fairways are tight and the bunkers are being upgraded to an excellent surface. Due to the extreme wet weather this summer some of the fairways need a good drying out but that should happen this fall. Kudos to the staff and maintenance staff. This is a public course after all.
