Penderbrook Golf Club

Even with a GolfNow deal, this course was still almost $70 w/cart. The greens were fast, but covered in ball and spike marks. Having so much water on the course was a little gimmicky, and felt like it was poor compensation for how short the course is (6100 from the tips). Fairways were bumpy and patchy, and all the tee boxes were completely torn up with hacker divots. I'm terrified to find out what they charge for a weekend round when it's not booked through GolfNow. Either way, I've played a lot of really terrible courses and a lot of really nice courses, but I definitely felt like I threw money away on this one...

The course was overbooked; 1 tee time ever 6-7 minutes.

People hit into us 4-5 times, despite the group in front of us still being on the green.

Waited on almost every hole.

If the course was empty and I could play at a reasonable pace, I'd rate the course around a 2.9/5 (5 being Augusta National).

The course had a very interesting and challenging layout. Not unfair but relatively tight. Greens were slow. The rough was patchy at best which caused many ridiculous lies. Overall the course still needs quite a bit of TLC.

The pro shop was cordial. The snack bar/restaurant staff was a bit stand surly.

We played this course expecting a walk in the park by looking at the map and the hole layout on the scorecard. The course has a subtle difficulty in the rolling hills and challenging greens.

The grass was well maintained and the tee boxes were immaculate.

Plus the starter was very accommodating when I called to add a golfer after making the tee time on Golfnow.com.

the course layout is fun, the fairways and especially the greens were really nice this time of yr. The only drawback was the backup on the tee. There was an estimated 30min delay but it turned out to be a little shorter. We did have to wait a few minutes behind groups groups but the pace was pretty fast.

Fast and small and full of movement. Course was in good shape from tee to gren as well. Complete lack of yardage on the course except for stripes on the paths and the 150 stake.

This is one of my go-to courses in the DC area. It is very short and extremely tight (challenging for me, as I tend to spray the ball). You can very easily hit every club in the bag here. I especially enjoy the 10th (long par 3 downhill and over water), 12th (less than 90 degree dogleg left par 4), and 18th (driveable par 4) holes.

I really enjoyed my morning out at Penderbrook. In my novice experience I would say that this course is a more than average challenging with several holes that have long over the water distances from the mens tees. I was very impressed by how well the course was manicured for this time of the year. All of the fairways were free of leaves and the greens were pretty much perfect. I would definitely stop here again when I am in the area.

Penderbrook was a terrific value from golfnow. We were able to get off and played a full round with minimal waiting. The course was in good shape (great shape for November) and the prices for food/beverage are reasonable.

I generally avoided this course in the past because of what I had heard about it. Friends told me it was on the expensive side and poorly maintained over the last few years. As it was so late in the season, we decided to give it a try at a discounted rate. I was very surprised by the good condition of the fairways, tee boxes, and greens. No major blemishes, not many divots, and generally smooth conditions all the way through. Fairly challenging, with several holes requiring you to carry water for a good distance. Bring some extra water balls that you don't mind losing! Overall I enjoyed the course and would return.

18-hole play too late and often late, waiting time

The course is in excellent condition!!! The challenge comes from narrow fairways. blind tee shots, and undulating greens. My Sunday round was fast ( under 4 hours). I went by myself and had a twosome in front of me that was playing at a decent pace even with a little teaching going on.

Tough course, especially the greens. Course layout is apparently determined by the housing community layout, strangely architect-ed holes . The greens are difficult for amateur golfers in that many pin placements were on domes and speed control requires very advanced skills. Some of the cart paths require repair as adjoining tree roots lifted them. Tee boxes do not have adequate hole design images nor do the fairways and approach areas offer much indication of distances. The design of the course places next hole tee boxes and the previous green/approach in uncomfortable proximity to each other (safety). However, an entertaining course and if you wish to work on course management, an excellent opportunity to brush up on your true golf skills. It is what it is, and the staff and the pricing is right. The amount of water on the course is nice and different for this part of Virginia.

Penderbrook is fun to play. It has a variety of holes to score low or very high. Just off of I66 and Rt.50 makes it very easy to get to.

Course was slow for the most part.. It was a good deal compared to other local courses. Narrow in spots but could play driver on many holes without problem. Did not complete round due to darkness.

This was our first time playing this course. On a Saturday afternoon in October, it took us four hours to get through 14 holes before it got too dark to play. The greens were in great shape, pin placement was tough. The bunkers were clean and well maintained. Fairways were kept well, rough was cut to a manageable level. Houses line many of the fairways. If you don't hit accurate drives, bring your checkbook. Would certainly golf here again, hopefully when less crowded.

I go there frequently because it is so nearby. Friends and I almost always go there if the weather is uncertain. We don't want to drive 40 miles and not play.

shaggy greens and fairways. houses are too close to the course.pace of play is busy even midday on wed. quirky layout. short but crooked.

Well maintained course in a remote country landscape. I Like it but pricey...

Tee box, fairways, and roughs were not well kept. Had lots of clay and dirt in the rough. The fairways and tee boxes were really beat up. Greens were well maintained. For the price, you get what you pay for.
