Penderbrook Golf Club

For a practice round it's a nice course. can't beat the price.

course in average condition.. Greens on the day I played after several days of rain were very fast and pin placements were right on ridges of the green where ball speed has to be perfect to prevent 3 putts. Holes 10/11/12 involve water hazards. Hole 12 170 yard or more carry over water , tiny green to hit. I don't like the design of this course much. Good for ball striking practice and tee shots on narrow fairways. Grass hadn't been cut in the 2nd cut of rough near the greens. Hard to get out. Sand traps are were not maintained well after the recent rains so that is an adventure if you get in.

Not the best course to play in the area, but quick to get to and you can walk this course. Once of the reasons why I love this course is the fact that you can walk it. Usually on the weekends it is a 5+ hour round of golf though.

I play here on a regular basis simply for the bang for the buck. I normally pay between $25-35 per round depending on time of day. It usually includes two draft beers as well. This past round I played was directly behind a golf tourny which they failed to inform us of, if they would have I would not have played. It was a VERY slow round. Greens are a bit slow but the approach shots stick fairly well. You can go right for the pin on most holes. No driving range is a big downfall. They have a small net that you can hit balls into.

The price was decent for a Saturday afternoon and included a cart, so I don't want to complain too much. But there was nothing even average about the course. I should've thought twice when I looked at the score cards yardage before the round, you literally never have a reason to hit driver, even playing from the tips.

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.
