Good Course

Starter misplaced my pre-paid on line tee time so he had to slide me into a group. Good course with some decent character, definitely needs a regular marshal to ensure the pace.of play (took us 4.5 to play).

Good, shorter course.

One of my local favorites, good value related to other courses in the area. Great for walking. Definitely a shorter course so if you like 6500 yds + courses this isnt for you.

Great Course - one of the best in the area.

Overall, definitely recommend this course for all skill levels. It runs a bit short but from the tips is a nice distance. My only issue is the old guys trying to rush through their round. We finished around 4 hours and I had old man river hitting in to me all day with 3 groups in front of us and no where to go. Then the marshall showed up to hurry us a long, again with no where to go. Outside of the grumpy old men, the course was great.

Decent Public Course

Not bad for a public course. Staff was very nice and helpful.

The fairways and greens were well-maintained but do not drain well. Played two days after a thunderstorm came through overnight, and the greens were still soggy. The tee boxes were incredibly uneven and could use a flattening.

The carts are old and could use an update.

The pace of play was slower than slow, so pack your patience.

Great round at Herndon Centennial as always

Love this course, a little short but can always play from the tips. I enjoy the layout and the past of play.

Well done!! :)

Herndon with some rain

While I always enjoy this course, the rain at times today (6/7/22) brought out a deficiency. No back rain flaps on carts! Had to use my towels as best I could to keep bag and clubs from getting soaked. Had an insert for an umbrella but that was too small for my golf umbrella.
