Love/Hate Relationship

Played this course one other time a few months back and wasn’t very impressed. However, came back and the conditions and greens were actually fabulous. Was by myself and able to complete 12 holes in an 1.5 hours until I ran into miss LPGA. She was in front of me and alone as well but decided to tee off SIX times with me behind her and continuously did this. I also waited 15 min on the fairway for her to leave the green as she decided it would be a great time to work on her putting.

Feel like this happens a lot in the area as I am a new resident of 2 months. Trying to find a course that’s cheap on weekdays after/during work seems to also be a struggle with the conditions I’ve been getting. For 55$ at 3pm twilight and overall conditions Penderbrook was in, it was worth it.

Greens 9/10, Fairways 6/10, Box 6/10

Miserable staff and course

Staff was rude and inconsiderate course had aerated greens without notice and no change of price. Pace of play was slow and Marshall yelled at groups to play faster while waiting on every shot. Starter puts groups out too fast without any consideration. Cool layout and course but would not recommend to anyone in the area.

Penderbrook Golf Club,
We are sorry you feel this way, but players are never allowed to play in groups of 6 and the ranger was informing you of this.
Greens were aerated 13 days ago and are almost completely healed at this point.
Have a nice day!

Secret Gem

Amazing condition! Fairways were great and greased were better than most in the area.

Allen, the starter was awesome. Super friend helpful.

Great value for the money.

I will be back!

Yeah - lots of improvements

Course is working hard to fulfill its destiny. Riveted bunkers, GOOD green complexes, improved tee boxes and alignment planning - I’ve got to give this place props. Playing it for about 10+ years - it’s a ‘real’ course now - not just a neighborhood hack&slash.

Fun and Challenging

I enjoy Penderbrook Golf Course. Every hole has a uniqueness to it. Some short par 4's, some long par 3's, shots over water, a couple blind shots that require an ego check on club selection. Played on the 4th of July and was never slowed from the group ahead. The 9th hole is in the middle of the course so they have a snack bar in between 9 and 10, which was open. Saw the cart attendant at least 5-6 times. No complaints, price is pretty good for the area. Not a super long scorecard but requires skill to play well. Next time I'll see what the food and bar area is about, looked very inviting! The only problems would be the driving range is literally a few rubber mats inside of what looks like a batting cage, and the course gets hit with a lot of sun so the sprinklers are occasionally on and/or maintenance team is out hosing down dry areas. All in all - highly recommended

Hadn't played there in a while, but staff was great and course was in good condition overall. There were aerated greens and various parts being worked on...but once they're done the course will be even better. Will definitely play again soon.

Under Repair

The course is being repaired but was known from the outset. The course will soon be great once finishing the upgrades. I’ll play again.

Course was great, still dormant but the course plays well. The new carts and the developing new bunkers are awesome.
