Penderbrook Golf Club

The course didn’t have 18 holes. Only 17. Management didn’t tell customers.

An interesting course, rewarding accuracy of shotmaking more than raw distance. Good use of water hazards and bunkers. The pro shop and restaurant provide very good service. The course snakes through a residential development, so play close attention. It would be a lot of walking if you choose not to rent a power cart. One complaint is the larger-than-usual number of cartpath-only holes, which slow down the pace of play. Definitely worth playing.

Used Golf Now to book a last minute tee time in the Washington DC area and found Penderbrook reasonably blose by. I drove to Penderbrook and saw a sign that read "Penderbrook, A Golf Community" which turned me off a little. No need to worry. Check in was smooth, groups were going out on time. I (a single) was paired with 3 other senior golfers (I'm 65) who were all from the area but did not live in Penderbrook. Very nice group and the course was in great condition. I had just returned from the Streamsong resort in Florida where you pay top dollar and get great conditions and I will say the greens and fairways at Penderbrook compare nicely to Streamsong.

Course does require you to play intelligent shots but every course should. You play among condos and houses but all are set back far enough that you're not crowded or risking a residents health by an errant shot.

Great course, nice efficient staff. Didn't stay to visit the restaurant or clubhouse except the proshop.

The tee box ground is so hard, it’s impossible to plant my tee. But that same hard surface made for greater success in low drives

$84 for 18 and cart. Kind of pricey for course condition and no driving range. It’s an ok change if you’re looking to change up playing location locally. I wouldn’t plan a special visit there otherwise.

okay, so first things first...no driving range, which is a SIN in 2023...nice putting green, but only a net (I guess) where you can hit balls?

nice track tough...they have put a moderately challenging course together, which has a fun layout and will challenge even better golfers at times...i'm a single digit and i enjoyed the layout and the holes that make you play a shot, not just hit it & hope...it's a fun track, and with a good pace of play, worth checking out imo

little extra crabgrass in places, not ideal, but like many other public courses in this area

weekend rate of $84 seems steep, but in this area they all overcharge...

odd rule is 2 carts per foursome, so you'll ride with strangers if you arrive as a single, which is fine with me, like making new friends

Pace of play and condition of course excellent! Will be back soon.

I like Penderbrook. This course can be challenging but it’s a fun course to play. I’d have enjoyed it more if there were amenities like on course water coolers and golf ball washers..

Course updates are great, greens rin great shape. However, the front staff and course manager is terrible.

Drive up to the DC area for a conference and had some time to kill. Found Penderbrook through GolfNow and decided to play 18 by myself. Absolutely did not regret it.

From the pro shop to the starters, everyone was super friendly and helpful/knowledgeable. Fairways were in great shape and the greens were fast. I’ll absolutely be back.
