Lakes/Fairways at Centennial Golf Club

With the exception on the aerated greens, the course was in good condition with an interesting layout. However, the greens had been aerated a week earlier and despite assurances from the club, the greens were a disaster. I'd still return once the greens are back in shape

So we tee'd off and played 9 holes (my buddy and I booked a tee time, and were matched with another double). We played 9 holes without issue and then came around the bend to begin our next 9 holes. The starter told us that we were playing Fairways instead of Meadows... the double who was with us had bee very clear that they had signed up to play Meadows and not Fairways... so they were not pleased at all. They explained that they had specifically requested Meadows instead of Fairways, and I was actually behind them when they were checking in... and I can verify this. So the starter proceeded to argue with the two guys and tell them that they showed up late, etc. The 2 gentlemen told the Starter that they were not late, and had been asked to tee of slightly later to help with the pace of play, etc. They just made it very clear they did not like the Fairways course. So the Starter, inexplicably, split up our foursome for the day, and started us off on different courses. This meant that my friend and I were sandwiched in between two other foursomes, and the back nine was literally twice as long as the front. I thought the Starter handled it pretty horribly. He was a younger kid and not a veteran of the golf course. It definitely screwed up our flow, ruined the nice chemistry we had developed within our foursome, ruined the competition we had going for the day, and left a bitter taste in our mouths after playing a beautiful nine holes. Would go back for the same price, but definitely think that this situation should not have played out as it did, this course is too nice to have unprofessional starters.

Got a great deal on the green fees, but would consider passing full price because of the experience. Tee times are separated perfectly, no one pushing, and we rarely saw the folks in front of us.

The course was in excellent condition, and all of the greens played similarly. There were fantastic views from most of the boxes.

Great place to play, fairways are always in great shape and greens are true and fast. This course has everything, water hazards, challenging bunkers, great views, not to be missed.

My favorite course because it is always in an excellent shape and well cared for.

I have never seen the course in such good shape. The only caveat is the sand, which looks great on the surface but twice in the round when my club hit the sand, I disgorged a nylon webbing sitting two inches under the sand. That is why I gave 4 stars rather than 5 on Course Conditions.

I played the Lakes and Meadows layout. Great weather. Course still wet from all the rain but in good shape. Nice variety of holes. Very playable from white tees and challenging for those who want to move back. Nice driving holes with elevation changes.

Took advantage of a $50 weekday special they offered. Tees and fairways are excellent, greens used to be perfect years ago before they allowed the Poa anua to creep in. They are still very good although golfers need to fix their ball marks. They could use some cart path repairs in some spots. The spring rain and cool weather has allowed the rough to grow like crazy and they seem to be having a hard time keeping up with it. 4 inch rough was the norm most of the day and with no step cut a ball just a foot off the fairway can be in some heavy stuff. Most greens have multiple tiers so putting the ball in the wrong place can leave you with a very difficult putt. The three nines can cause an issue on your second 9 start if groups aren't on pace. In our case a group coming of Lakes got in between us and the group we were behind on Meadows causing a 10 minute delay. Very large driving range using both grass (weekends) and mats, a bucket of 35 balls is included in the greens fee. Multiple putting greens and a short game area. For what you get it is one of the top daily fee courses around.

very beautiful layout. scoreable if you are playing well.... brutal if you are having a tough day. it's fair but tough. gorgeous hills and views. great greens and the course drains well. best practice facility in the tristate area

Centennial is clearly a lotta fun with 3 different 9's to choose from lakes, fairways and meadows.

Course had just opened for the year the day before and we had a frost delay of an hour and also has taken on a lot of water so cart path only and muddy

Not bad shape for so early in the year in sure as it warms up it will be back

We played on friday after thanksgiving as a 2 ball and the starter did a great job suggesting to play the fairways first nine. Fairways were a little softer after the rain and greens were fast and held well. Liked this nine and the beech trees. Played the Meadows after and is decent nine holes. We tend to find centennial more expensive but golf now rate at $45 was good value today but i see it is back to $85 for weekend. Putting green is big and they do include range balls which is additional value.

Great course amenities good condition excellent my favorite course looking forward to play again

Played lakes/meadows. Both were great but lakes was exceptional, layout wise. Greens were tough and fast and the overall condition we pretty good. Highly recommended.

The course itself was impressive. This is the first time I played here after hearing many people tell me about it over the years. I played the Lakes/Meadows route.

We were sent out a half hour behind an outing, and once we caught them after 3 holes the pace became abysmal. The ranger came out and told us they asked the groups to speed up play...it didn't work. We watched them play in front of us as if they were on the pro tour, hitting from the tips, of course. They each took several practice swings, then back off the shots, visualize, more practice swings, address, practice swing, and finally hit. Then they would move up to the next player's ball and wait for him to do the same - and this was repeated for each player. This is when the rangers need to step in and tell them how to play ready golf, put them on the clock and push them forward when they fall over a hole or two behind.

I absolutely HATE, DESPISE, LOATHE, slow play, whether it's on the pro tour or on the local muni. And when the round reaches 5 hours, it's time for the course to seriously review it's pace of play policies. It's no wonder so many people won't play golf anymore. My friends frequently tell me they stopped playing because they don't want to spend the whole day on the course, and I understand what they are saying, driving to and from the course, check in, warm up, wait at the first tee, then a 5 hour round equals about an 8 hour day!

Hey courses...wake up, you're losing business because more and more people don't want to pay high prices to sit around on the course for 5 hours. This is how golf courses get shut down. I likely will never be doing the hour long drive to this course ever again.

Staff was very friendly and seem happy and proud to work there. It has a private club feeling, they remembered my name and asked me how my kids were!!! Will go back again very soon. Pace of play was 4:20, very good pace considering the difficulty of the course. Our group was visited by the ranger who helped us find our ball a few times.

Played this course for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Course was immaculate and even though they had aerated a couple weeks before you could barely notice it. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. I live over an hour away but will come back to play many times in future.
