Some really nice improvements in this course over the years. I will gladly add this into my regular rotation moving forward, not something I felt the same way about over the past few years. Interesting layout, shorter holes that require different club selection than usual from the tee. A good but fair challenge.

Great and beautiful course

The course from the tee box to the greens were excellent. The greens run but in a great way very challenging. Might be a little tough for new players. There are also alot of water hazards so bring extra balls. I will definitely be back. This course does an absolutely good job at blocking out the houses so you feel secluded and focused on your game, just fantastic.

Not worth the increased greens fee!

It's no wonder the golfing industry in the US is hurting when courses such as this raise their daily greens fee's to match those of much better semi-private clubs. Even after joining their Commonwealth Club, the cost per round is over $20 more this year than what I paid last year. Simply not worth that much to play a municipal course in a development. I doubt they will survive too long charging those greens fees. I know my group won't be frequenting them anymore. Much better deals on better courses to be had elsewhere.

Enjoyable round.

Played Penderbrook quite a few times. It’s a tough track and is a shot maker’s course. The course is always in decent condition and greens are consistent. Great value, however I won’t return till my game is on again. Not a course for beginners!

Decent Course but too slow

Overall the conditions and layout were good enough compared to the relatively lower cost. The main problem was the beyond ridiculous pace of play. There was no ranger and many groups were sent off as singles or a twosome without being paired up. The whole course was backed up by the time I got to the 5th hole.

Hello, Brad1363082. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Penderbrook Golf Club, we hope to see you again soon.

Certainly improving!

They deserve credit for improving this course. For years it has been very poor. They are investing money to bring it back. Many fairways still have way too many thin/dead areas, and the same with the rough. That said, the greens are much, much better compared to recent years. They weren't fast by any means, but they rolled fine. Please continue to invest and make improvements!

Course to ourselves

Course was hosting a large shotgun start tournament, we were able to tee off early AM and play our round with no one in front and no one chasing us. But since there was a large group outing there was lot of groundskeepers buzzing about. Course is in decent shape. Lots of surrounding houses. If it had been a weekend the course would have been noisy as some greens and tees are right in some peoples backyard.
