Will be back!

Great playing condition, nice staff, and nice food options at the turn. My only complaint would be that our gas carts felt very tired. Other than that, fantastic experience!

Gem of a muni

Herndon is a great value in NOVA. The course has a lot of character. So interested green sites and a atmosphere that is bare bones in a good way. The course is in fine shape for its pecking order in the area. Could eventually use some green expansion and fairway expansion, both which have surely shrunk over the years due to cut lines. The bunkers are actually really interesting, not your normal flat muni circles, and well maintained. The tee boxes could also use some light renovation to get them back to grade. I hope Herndon might consider putting some capital back into the course to make it truly great.

Good not great

Grass was incredibly long and the rough was impossible to get out of. Course conditions were lack luster but the course had a lot of character and I had fun. Will definitely play here again despite the conditions and the ridiculously slow pace on the back 9. Fair for the price could very well be exceptional with improvements.

Nice day to walk a course

I play Herndon quite regularly. The clubhouse is a great vibe and the staff are all great. Glad to get out on a very nice weathered day in April. The layout is shorter but I've seen the best of golfers struggle to break 80 here. The greens will be getting aerated next week but the punches really never seem that bad. Today unfortunately had a slower group in front which was skill level not lack of etiquette, and for that it was more accepting. The group behind us lacked patience as one of the guys hit over our heads three times. Nevertheless, I'll continue playing here frequently as I find this course to be one of Northern Virginia's best.
