Penderbrook Golf Club

They have done a lot of work on the course which made it a pleasure to play today. They also have GPS on the carts which is convenient! There is no driving range to warm up before you play, just nets you can hit your own ball into. Kitchen was also closed so we could not get breakfast for a 10am tee time, cart girl (came by a few times which is nice) did not have any food other than bag of chips. (No hot dog??🌭) also no water stations around the course on a hot day.

Potential for a 4.5/5. Actually a 3.5 currently. Giving a 4. Hear me out. Nice staff. Excellent new carts. Layout is awesome. They are clearly making good progress on course rehab but there are still some rough spots in places. Greens are pretty good after recent aeration. Install some water stations and fix the vending machine at the turn please! (Turn is not close to the club house so…) Rack rate is a bit pricey for the conditions compared to similar courses in the area. But you can get some deals to make up for that a bit if you are flexible and use the ‘deals’ link on their website. Give it a chance folks!

Came with a group of 12. Has to be the worst public course in Virginia. Slow to check in. Kitchen closed at 11:15 am. Random people driving up the cart path while we are teeing off. The Marshall telling us we were 20 mins behind (No one behind us) only to see him randomly playing golf on another hole 5 mins later. Laughable. Groups of 5 playing… now for the course conditions…. Quite possibly the worst tee boxes I’ve ever seen. Entire course is a hailed out goat track. With $11 beers you would expect them to fuel up a mower and maybe take a lap. I didn’t know if I was on the green or the rough. I hope they mow the fairways this year, I won’t know because I will never be back. I would rather play in traffic than play Penderbrook Golf course again. Update to below: If Penderbrook considers their course in “great condition” I would encourage them to visit any other golf course, potentially on the planet. Having one half hole reseeded with “Bermuda” doesn’t really cut it. Not a green or flat tee box in 18 holes. Goat Track- no other way to put it.

Course wasn't bad, greens, tee boxes, fairways and bunkers were all in decent shape for the most part. Reasonable greens fees. Pro shop was sad, very little merchandise, was not greeted or told who I was playing with, if anyone, where to go or asked if I'd been there before. No starter either, I basically just loaded an open cart and teed off, never saw anyone from the staff. Restaurant was also pretty dire, most of the lights were off and limited options. Also no beverage cart out there although there was a water in all of the jugs where they had them. Very slow play, no Marshal and they definitely need one. Decent value, decent course but missing some of the other details.

Do not play. Worst golf experience of my life. $90+ for unplayable greens. Check out the pictures to see how big of a joke this course is. Oh yeah, and a 5 hour round.
