Course is always in great shape, and for the price it is tough to beat. Tee box renovation is finally done, and so it was nice to play the course as it normally plays. Walked 18 for $35 and did not see a single person on the course; can't beat that! I think the aeration scared a lot of people away, but the greens were still running true and fast. Although I think the $80 is a bit steep to pay for a peak tee time with a cart, this course is still a favorite of mine.

Herndon is a great muni, the groundskeepers and greenskeepers are the best in the business, especially considering the amount this course gets played and their budgets.
The issue with this course is that it is fairly easy and can manipulate your handicap for the better. The tips are essentially the mens tees at any other golf course and there are maybe 3 challenging holes, and that might be generous.
If you are a beginner to intermediate, or play a couple times a year, highly recommend. But if you are a weekend warrior who likes to go and play more challenging courses, and bet with your buddies, I wouldn't make this your home course.

I am not a golf person, so my review is a general one.
From what I see, this is a medium size golf course.
There are many good things about it,
If you have free time during weekdays, or you are a retired person, you can go there in the middle of the day, then all the course field is yours!
Their prices are good, even they sell golf accessories and hats, shirts, etc at a reasonable price ( comparing Sterling and Reston with them)
They have a nice small restaurant, with acceptable quality and price.
The manager in charge also was very nice and polite and helpful.
Negative points :
The parking space is not great, the golf carts were not in the best condition.

Venkat Girish (Girish Venkat) Updated review - course is in horrible shape - stay away for at least a month. Played on the last day of July 2022 and found that the course has taken a turn for the worse. Rains combined with what looked like people carting everywhere has ruined this course. This combined with gnats ( because of the sogginess ) made playing a terrible experience. I sincerely hope that course management starts enforcing cart path only on many if not all holes so that the golf course can heal. I am adding a set of new photos to reflect the current course condition. I will stay away from this course for at least a month to give this course a chance to recover.
Older review below ( was a 4 star l)
A nice inexpensive Muni course to play. Can get busy over weekends and twilight times. It can also get quite soggy when there is heavy rain. This is one of the courses where you are better off walking ( it is not a long course) rather than taking cart in what likely will be cart path only most of time when it rains.

Great course but I was surprised that they are fixing the tees for 3 or 4 holes during peak time. This should have been done during off season….
