Great layout

Other than the frozen greens, snow and rain, had a great day. Truly enjoy this course, short ,but challenging. The greens are very protected by design and traps. Thanks to Golfnow we got a great rate. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for another deal at Herndon centennial, can't wait.

Good course to feel good about yourself

Not a lot of trouble, not very long, several wood and wedge holes, greens in great shape. Might be better value paying a little more for something more challenging, but was an overall enjoyable early season round

Course is great but a few minor issues

Lovely course with fast greens and thick roughs.
2 minor issues:
1- the starter is not nice. He’s pushy and makes you play early rather than allowing you a few minutes to warm up and play at your designated tee time. His attitude leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
2- the tee boxes could use some work. It’s challenging to find a flat spot to hit off of. Most of the time you are teeing off with the ball below or above your feet.

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!

Well designed and maintained course just make sure to stay out of the unforgiving rough. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only complaint was the pricing ( a little too much for me).

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.
