Fun day, a bit windy, but course in great shape!

Had a 2 pm tee time, and had a great round! Very open tee sheet so we took our time getting ready before heading out. Chipped a bit and putted a bit on the putting green because these greens can be deceptively fast! Played as a 3-some in less than 4 hours, and we weren't really rushing. No problems with pace of play whatsoever. Course was in great shape! Fairways were lush, and even the rough wasn't too terrible. It played fair; if you missed your drive then you were certainly going to be penalized in the rough. Greens rolled true, but had some unprepared ball marks (customary for most Northern VA courses). Overall, course was in fantastic shape, and I will definitely be back! Played from the blues and it was very manageable. Good course run by the city of Herndon!

Underrated

What a hidden gem. Very score-able course, lots of forgiveness and fun holes to play! Fairways were pure and the greens rolled fast, tee boxes could use some work but overall for the price you pay it’s WELL worth it. I will be playing here a lot over the summer!

Bring a book

It took us a little over 3 hrs to play the front 9 - the beverage cart took orders just yards off of the back of a par 3 green - we had to skip 4 holes on the back 9 just to break free of the back up. Bring a book to read on a Saturday.

Best Maintained Municipal Course in the Area

The course is always well maintained. The setup is a little wonky with long walks in between holes at some points but great value for the money.

Great experience at this course.

Tees, fairways and greens were in great shape.

Very fun layout and some challenging risk-reward holes.

Starter was super helpful.

Pro shop was honest listened and accommodated my needs.

Clubhouse restaurant is really good.

I can’t wait to go back.
