For $95 dollars, this is by far one of the worse maintained, raggediest golf courses I have ever played. Located in Fairfax, VA, apparently this is the best/ worst the area has to offer. Fairways on 7 and 14 were disgusting and the greens or edge of greens on holes 6, 10, and 14 looked like they had the mange, and totally ridiculous!! Penderbrook should be shaving at least $10 off their fee for not having a driving range. They have a 3 or 4 mats, net cage near the 18th hole and an absolutely Disgusting practice putting green. I just showed up and started playing due to bad practice areas. From what I heard from locals Penderbrook is about the only golf course option in the area so the owners of the course seemingly could care less about presenting a quality golf course, because they are the only option. The ownership should be Embarrassed at the trash they are offering for $95 dollars. Upon complaining, Alan in the pro shop stated, "My confirmation email supposedly had a statement about the course conditions." Unfortunately, I deleted the email and was unable to confirm such statement. This course should be no more than $65 for weekend tee times and $40 for rounds after 12 noon. I have played courses in Maui for cheaper that have ocean and mountain views. Next time I will Uber to Maryland, as suggested by several locals. I suggest you consider the same options as well. The attached photo is just one example of my complaint. Thanks and happy golfing!

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.

Played this beautiful course for the first time in mid-October. It’s GORGEOUS!
The holes take full advantage of the hilly and challenging terrain, the fairways and rough are immaculately maintained, and the greens are challenging but fair. The staff - from the rangers and cart people on the course, to the management in the pro shop - couldn’t have been more helpful or friendlier.
I played with my two adult sons, and the three of us were joined by a fourth fellow who was a frequent player here. Honestly, it was hard to tell who enjoyed ourselves more - we first-timers or our seasoned playing partner. Clearly, we all enjoyed the magnificent course and can’t wait to return.
Thank you Penderbrook GC for such a fun and memorable outing!

Course was in terrible condition for $90. Was reminded multiple times to stay cart path only, even when geese were hanging out on the path, guess we were supposed to hit them. Seems like the mowers were cutting poorly, and some of the greens had huge burn spots.

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.
