Greens are unplayable

Greens are unplayable. Greens are an inch thick with sand and deep cuts . Not worth the money yet, greens should improve in a month.

Very disappointing

We drove 120 miles each way to play a soggy course with tiny, hard to hold, beat up greens. The only reason I gave it as good a rating as I did is that is was cheap to play - if you shop for a bargain. To me, it's a poorly designed golf course in the "middle of nowhere". If you play there and have low expectations then you will not be disappointed.

Superbly Great!

I actually think that everyone should play this course at least once, even if you are a novice it is simply a great course. I had to take a couple of pauses to intake the most fantastic views of the areas, and also just for relaxation.

Good lay out

A few of the greens need work and the grass in the fairways could be cut shorter other than that it is a fun place to play. Try it I think you will like this golf course.

Hidden Gem

This course is a hidden gem. The lay out is challenging with lots of fun holes. Best time to play this course is durning the week. Weekends tend to get busy.

Pendaries is a great golf course.

First of all let me say that it was very easy to book our tee time through your website.I have played this course several times over the years. Every time I go back, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. It is clearly a hidden gem but more and more people are finding out about it. It is very peaceful, calm and quiet up in those mountains. The course itself was in very good shape from tees to greens. The pace of play was just right. The people at the pro shop were extremely friendly and really made us feel welcome. I would certainly recommend that anyone looking for a different golf course to play, come and play Pendaries.

Pendaries Golf

We began our round shortly after 2pm late July and the temperature was about 80 degrees. Three or four of the greens on the front nine had some weeds growing in them and a couple of greens had small bare spots but then the rest of the greens were in good shape. The fairways and rough were the type of grass that you see on most mountain courses. The grass in the fairways was a little long but did not seem to reduce the amount of ball roll. Due to a lack of rain some brown spots in the fairways. The rough was a little tall but no problem finding a ball. For the most part the course is a little tight and with several short dogleg par fours and you needed to select your clubs wisely. The staff in the pro shop and restaurant are very friendly. There was not a beverage cart but you can get a large cooler from the restaurant. They have a tendency to over cook the food in the restaurant. I would rank the course a 7 out of 10 and would play it again if I was in the area but would not drive to the area just to play the course. Some good mountain views and deer on the course.

Mountain track

Nice golf track! Some wide open and some tight. Nice mix. Greens where ok and fairways might have been better if they mowed it. Grass was kind of long which really slowed down the roll. Otherwise a nice golf experience. We played pendaries three times that week. Great value considering the excessive rate the charge at that other mountain course to the north.

fairways were fine, some greens a little rough, I know we are not suppose to play from the rough but when you do you should be able to find your ball. Rough grass way to long. Needs to be cut.

Pendaries Golf Trip

Great hide away escape to the cool mountain setting.

Expected afternoon showers and we got one for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards we played with the course it seemed to ourselves. Wonderful time, choose your clubs wisely course requires accurate shots. Lots of risk reward possibilities. Pin location and putting speed control are vital to scoring.
