Penderbrook Golf Course opened their course for Thanksgiving and made it a Shotgun style at 10:00am. The weather was forecasted to be in the mid-40's making it for a chilly Thanksgiving golf round. When I arrived, at 9:30am there were roughly 30 other golfers (mostly Korean) waiting to tee off at 10:00am. Around 9:45am, the starter stated that there would be a frost delay and that we would be teeing off at 10:30am. That was understandable since the morning was in the high 30 degrees. When it was 10:30am, the starter claimed again there was still frost and the tee time would be pushed out to 11:00am. When I saw holes #1 and #7, there were clearly no frost showing and stated that fact to the starter. The starter said that there were still areas under the shade that had frost. When it was 11:00am, the starter again pushed the tee time to 11:15am and said anyone who wants a refund can get one and leave. At this point, half the people had Thanksgiving plans and decided to leave. By the time it was 11:15am, the starter said he no longer knew what time we would tee off and told us he would keep us informed (which he never did). By noon, the starter declared that no golf could be played ruining the Thanksgiving golf for the remaining people who waited over 2 hours and not play a single hole. I’ve spoken to 2 of my buddies who golfed on the SAME day on different courses in Virginia and said that they had no problems playing. This debacle by Penderbrook’s management ruined all of our Thanksgiving golf plans and could have avoided this by just canceling the shotgun golf since they knew the weather would be cold. This golf course has gone through so many different managements and I will NEVER play at this course ever again. DO NOT PLAY ON THIS COURSE!!!

Furniture a bit old, but is a nice space for small groups. Has a kitchen and small eating area with a fridge and a microwave. Has Wi-Fi. Ample parking, in a nice area.

My family play here almost every weekend. It is a great place to have a lot of fun and enjoy a good game. The green fees are very reasonable and the course is a very challenging with a narrow fairways, a lot of trees and water obstacles. We lose a lot of golf balls so bring lots of old golf balls if you are a beginner.

Great place! Friendly staff and some of the best golf in the suburbs you can ask for, want to challenge yourself? Well you're in luck, try to go at least 3 holes without losing a ball OR your temper! Let fly on some of their larger fairways with your biggest driver or heck, just let fly with a stream of profanity as you once again shank an easy approach shot. Want to unwind after a bad round? Grab a cold beer at the bar or perhaps try to hit one of the thousands of geese on the course with a well placed shot on what's most likely your last 4$ ball after 8 holes! Either way, golfing here is a magical and enticing experience, and remember, if your blood pressure isn't through the roof, are you really golfing?

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.

Thanks to the new management team, to include Josh at the front desk, attending to each detail in a personal manner is outstanding.
Professional demeanor and flexibility to all golfers is 5 stars.
I've been golfing at penderbrook for some 15 yrs and feel comfortable and welcomed.

Terrible course. The condition of this course has deteriorated significantly over the years. Dead piles of sod are left all over the course. Several tee boxes have literally no grass with patches of mud and crab crass. Many greens have new sod laid around it and it's completely dead. The staff is constantly driving the course turning sprinklers on/off throughout your round. We played through active sprinklers on at least 5-6 holes. The cart girl doesn't even drive a beverage cart. She had coolers with bungy cords and didn't accept credit cards. Only saw the cart once through the round. If you want to play a dog track and be disappointed, this is your course for a nice $60, you can get all the dead sod and sprinklers you can handle. DONT PLAY HERE.

Course needs better maintenance. There were huge cracks on the fairway. The layout of the holes is great though.

Good 18 hole golf course for the price, especially with the Commonwealth Card.

I don't understand how come people can give 5-star rating to Penderbook recently. I took my daughter and her boyfriend to play there yesterday (September 3, 2016) and Penderbrook became one of the worst golf courses I have ever played. I used to play there in a weekly basis from 2008 to 2011 because my golf buddy loves the challenging layout and it is in a convenient location for both of us. The condition was okay back then. I was shocked yesterday when I saw crabgrass everywhere. It is sad.

Small fast greens and tight fairways . Good deals on rounds if you search for them. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
