Large fast greens in great condition

Great 27 hole layout with an excellent variety of holes in wonderful condition. Put your approach shot in the right spot or a 3 putt is a good possibility.

Hot Deal / Sour Deal

I have to start by saying from the 9 holes I played twice were it looks like a really nice course. The course is made up of 3 nine hole courses. I thought I got a great deal by selecting hot deal for 18 holes, but when we got to the course we were told there was an outing and we had to play the same nine holes twice. This is something Golf Now should have pointed out in advance.

When we were starting out there was a group of 8 guys that tried to jump in front of us, we had to ask the starter to let us through. Same thing when we made the turn a group tried to jump in front of us. Other than that pace was good, the greens had some blemishes, but overall the course was nice.

Great courses in great shape

Very nice facility with a large driving range and short game area. Challenging layouts with great fairways and thick rough. Greens are still very good but used to be excellent when they controlled the Poa Annua. My only other complaint is the lack of a step cut from the fairway to the rough. Miss the fairway by a foot and you are in 3 inches of thick stuff. Pace can be a little on the slow side.

WORTH THE TRIP

DROVE 63 MILES TO PLAY THE COURSE AND IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT WAS WE HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR TO PLAY THE BACK NINE BECAUSE AN OUTING THEY BOOKED

WAS BEING PLAYED. THE STAFF WAS EXCELLENT AND DID ALL THEY COULD TO MAKE IT A GREAT ROUND.

A Day At Centenial

A very interesting 27 hole course. We played the Meadows and the Lakes. Each had their own unique set of challenges. The Meadows had length. The par fours needed two good long shots to reach the greens in regulation. Once on the green putting required the right line and speed. Otherwise you easily could end up with a double or triple bogey. The Lakes as the name suggests had lots of water and elevated greens. If you don't let the water intimated you, it is a fun course to play. However if water intimidates you bring lots of balls. I would play it again at the right price.

Centennial in the fall

Hands down quite possibly the best fall deal around! Course was in great shape. (Meadows and Fairways) greens are legit...quick and deceiving. This course makes you use every club in the bag. The layout and holes are full of character and many of them have great views from the tee box.

The deal was 55 for a 10 am Ttime. That included cart and range balls. Along with 3 dedicated practice areas...putting, chipping and bunkers. Everyone is really nice and your missing out if you don't get a round at this course.

Centennial overview

The entire experience from the environment and staff to the conditions of the course, was inspirational. There were no holdups anywhere, the couple my son and I were linked with for the day were pleasant, engaging and courteous. The course is one I hadn't played in 10 years but my return was truly rewarding.

Walked

Spectacular Setting

Very challenging course, it's steady uphill/downhill play. Course is in good shape. It makes me feel sad that a lot of Golfers do not respect the hard work of the greenkeepers.I saw hundreds of unrepaired divots on the fairways and ball-marks on the nice greens .
I am a passionate walker. So to me it makes no sense at all that you can either ride a cart or you have to carry your bag. Pull- or push-carts are not allowed.

Than God for GN!

This is a wonderful facility with 3 magnificent 9 hole layouts. I would never be able to play there if it wasn't for golf now. Thank you GN & Centennial for registering this fine golf course.

The staff at Centennial really, really makes this course a great venue. Although a public facility, the staff makes the golfers feel like members of a private course.

One of the best public period

From beginning to middle and toward the end of season, the conditions at this place is always beautiful. Food is great and staff is friendly. Layout for all 27 holes is beautiful and challenging. With the slope on the greens, putting is some times a tall task.

Consistently Good

Expensive but worth the occasional splurge. Technical course, Larry Nelson design. Traps need maintenance. Play can be slow. More rangers moving things along would be great.
