Don’t waste your time

Bad layout, bad condition, no range. Putting green is terrible, leave your driver at home because there is nowhere to use it. Only course I’ve ever played where your second shot on a par 5 is a chip down the fairway because it’s a 90 degree dogleg with no hazard to avoid. Garbage.

Penderbrook Golf Club,

Hello, we are sorry you didn't meet your expectations. The greens were aerated on May 5th and are a necessary maintenance measure that is done twice a year to improve turf conditions throughout the year. Aerated greens normally take about 2 weeks to fully heal, the rest of the golf course is in great shape.

We have made many improvements over the years to improve the playability of the golf course and feel that the golf course is a fair test. The golf course does require accuracy off the tee and into the greens.

Hole #4 does have a creek going down the right side which comes into play on your second shot.

We hope that you come back soon now that the greens have fully healed.

Have a great day!

Staff lacks common sense!!

I had previously reserved a tee time for 2 people and had canceled within refundable allowable time. However, this course still charges you $15/pp for cancelation!

Regardless, I booked a Hot Deal for myself for a 12:40 tee time. My meetings ended early and I was able to get to the course earlier around 11. I asked if it would be possible to tee off earlier since I was a single. The employee said, No, you bought a Hot Deal and must wait... During the 1.5 hours of waiting, there were singles, 2somes, 3somes, and a large gap of no golfers!! Yet, they punish me because I bought a Hot Deal?!?! Have some common sense!!

This course employees lack common sense and golf etiquette!! They removed all water stations on the golf course! This is a dog track of a course trying to be dolled up to a mediocre course, but MAJOR FAIL!!

Great layout but bring lotsa golf balls.

This is a recreational golf club where the rough eats balls when you miss the pretty narrow fairways. It is actually a nice layout, but the rough is ridiculous. Even if you are sure where it is the chances of finding it are very remote.

Clubhouse bar/pub is very nice with a great selection of libations and I hear the food is pretty darn good.

A little more mowing and a bit wider fairways and it would be a go to course. .

Buyer beware!! Course is not customer nor golfer friendly!!

I bought a Hot Deal for a 12:40 tee time as a single and got to the golf course around 11:00 hoping to tee off earlier, if possible. I had a previous reservation for 2 golfers which I had to cancel. Even though Golf Now refunds the cancelation, this course still charges you $15/golfer!! RIDICULOUS!!

Regardless, when asked if I could tee off earlier, the guy said, "No, you got a Hot Deal and must wait!" I watched as there were a single, a 3some, a gap for a long time, a 2some, a gap for a long time, and I just had to wait and be punished for getting a Hot Deal until my tee time!! How RIDICULOUS!! The golf course conditions are very weak and other golfers are elderly and takes too long... AVOID THIS COURSE AT ALL COST!!

Penderbrook Golf Club,

Hello,

We looked back at your profile and saw that you were never charged for the two no-shows earlier in May or any other time. You had tried to cancel inside our 24-hour cancellation window which you agreed to when you made your tee time online. You were told that next time you cancelled inside 24-hours, you would be charged the no-show fees, but again, they were never charged.

As for your hot deal, we suggest that you read the terms and conditions fully next time when booking a special deal. Sometimes it may seem there is a bigger gap because one group goes off slightly early and one slightly late. Singles are paired-up with groups at the starter’s discretion.

Have a good day

Stay in the very narrow fairways

The rough on this course is a killer! If you are lucky enough to find your ball be prepared to hack your way back into the fairway. It’s a very nice layout. But it punishes you if you miss the fairway.

Staff - especially the pub staff are super friendly with a good beer and liquor selection and very nice menu.

Will try the course again - but I hope they get the lawnmower fixed !

Aerated greens, I did not see notice anywhere online

This is a tight smaller course. There are lots of hazards off the tee boxes. Overall the course was fine, but the greens were very rough. They must have been aerated that week, but I did not receive a discount on fees nor see any notice of the actions.

Penderbrook Golf Club,

Hello,

All tee times on GolfNow.com had an "aerification alert" on them from 5/8/23 to 5/14/23. We are sorry you did not see the alert, but it the only option we have for alerting customers on GolfNow.com.

We hope to see you out again soon now that the greens have fully healed.

Have a great day!

I wish they had told me

Greens were very recently aerated and full of pock marks and sand. Tees (blues) were not in very good shape.

Like I said, I wish they told me up front.

Terrible conditions

Course I’m pretty bad shape for it only being April and seems like they waited until spring time to do course renovations. Some fairways have areas that are closed off for new grass. Some tee boxes closes. Pace of play is ok. Not worth the $50 hot deal honestly, can’t imagine paying the full $70. Find somewhere else to play

Penderbrook Golf Club,

We are sorry we did not meet your expectations, but with it just getting warmer, the conditions are ever improving. As far as renovations/new sod, there is one hole, #2, which has had new sod put down in the left rough to widen the fairway and there are 3 brand new tee boxes that have not been opened yet because the sod needs time to establish itself.

Again ,we are sorry that the improvements we have made have negatively impacted your round and hope to see you again soon.
