Fairways/Meadows at Centennial Golf Club

Booking the tee time the headline says aeration on Aug 7th. Normally you expect 12 days is enough time for a greens to grow in. Greens today looked liked they were punched no more than 3 days prior.
Talking about it with the first ranger I seen, he stated aeration started on the 7th. There were delays in the process and still didn't finished the entire facility. As a life long New Yorker, I really feel duped not seeing this coming. Next time I will call and ask specific questions. Boy did learn a lesson from this today.
I understand there was rain yesterday and keeping conditions on a course is priority. Anyone who every played Centennial knows this track is virtually unwalkable. To my knowledge, having a golf cart is a must and walking is not allowed. It's a mountain course with many elevation changes and many greens and tee boxes are not adjacent. Having cart path only on a slow pace hot humid day with recent aerated greens is a lot for anyone to take in at the same time. I myself walk many rounds but most golfers I play with I realize are not in the same shape as I am. I realize preserving conditions is important, at least meet in the middle with 90 degree or not riding out to fairways on days after rain. Paying to play a course run by Troon, people don't expect to deal with all these variables in the same round.
FYI all these variables happening in one round is rare. Any other day I played here I enjoyed this place very much due to the beautiful scenery and layout.

The course was in great shape and the fall day was perfect! Lots of downhill and uphill lies and the greens were very fast.
Played as a single with 3 other experienced players and we finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes. A Perfect day!

Good course. Very challenging. A little pricey compared to surrounding courses.

Great course layout - a bit pricey ($85-115)
for not being able to take carts of path for wetness.

Should be a discount for those conditions ,
also most greens had small tree debri everywhere

What a beautiful course in the fall! In pretty good shape for all the rain that we've had!!
Today it was cart path only and the bunkers will need a bit of repair, but the course conditions seem to be well taken care of and a lot of work has gone into upkeep this course with all the rain that we have had.
The staff is friendly, especially the starter and cart guys. The restaurant was pretty good too!
Take advantage of their off the grass, driving range, and great putting greens.
One thing to note the cart girl doesn't have any warm beverages which would be a great idea as it's getting cold, a little windy and sometimes rainy it would be nice to have hot chocolate, and hot toddys available for purchase from the cart girl. 😉

Generally, a great course but when they go Cart Path Only it may be best to avoid it. A lot of walking from cart paths a long way from the fairways. That said, it’s doable. The problem lies with the pace of play. Usually not much of an issue but when it does come up there’s no ranger around to push the play. Last round we had to quit as darkness rolled in and we had four holes to go after being on the course for almost 5 hours. When we finally drove into the clubhouse we saw the last four holes vacant with not a golfer in sight. Our two foursomes ahead of us was incredibly slow.
Fix that one issue and we recommend this course highly. Always in great shape with true greens. Just remember, better short than long on approach. Good food, good staff.

While the price, conditions and course were all great, our pace of play was horrific - six hours to complete a round. Two of our foursome packed it in after 15 holes and with the sun beginning to set. They called us upon reaching the clubhouse and informed us that the foursome just on the green at 16 had no one on either hole ahead of them. There was also a foursome between us and that group. The two of us finished all 18 in the twilight at about 6:40 p.m. Even when the staff was informed, no ranger was sent out to speed up play - in fact, we didn't see a course ranger our entire round. If they do not do something to ensure a quicker pace of play, they will lose customers - especially at the regular rate they charge to play (one hundred-plus dollars, we paid the senior rate)

The extreme hills, staircases and needless cart path only holes make it a misery.

Post aerated conditions but the course is otherwise well maintained.

Tee boxes were chewed up, uneven. 2:50min for 9 holes at 6:50am. Greens aerrated with no discounted rate.
Golf carts are slow and no gps
Staff very friendly but not worth $150 price tag for what we got

I have always loved Centennial, the course has a great design, and the greens are quite challenging. I just played it and it seems like they’re letting the course go. I was in the Teebox and thought I was standing on something and noticed that there was just bare ground underneath my foot. Some of the tee boxes were quite patchy (grass/dirt). The carts do not have GPS and while riding down the cart path you feel like you’re off roading. Mind you, this course gets a premium for a round of golf so one would expect to find GPS is in the carts. I booked through GolfNow and while they would normally give you range balls if you purchased directly through them, they nickel and dime you for range balls when you book through GolfNow ($10 for small bucket of range balls. Finally, I have used a lot of websites to book tee-times, but theirs often makes you click a separate link. It’s just kind of surprising in this day and age where probably most tee-times are booked online, their website is so crummy.

Course is always top notch. However, we were charged $140.00 for the round yet every single green was air rated. We love this course but under these circumstances the price of $140.00 a head was unreasonable. Not even a heads up when the tee time was booked.

Hadn't played it in a few years. Saw a good price for a single on this site yesterday. Course is best shape I can remember. Greens really fast and tricky. Got around in 3.5 hours on beautiful Sunday afternoon, walking. They have plenty of drinking water on the course. A rarity these days.

Awesome set up. Played lakes for the front and fairways on the back. Very picturesque course with very nice elevation change and forgiveness. Recommend lakes to start to have more wide open landing zones because fairways can get tight. Comp it to patriot hills in stony point.
