About this course
Herndon Centennial Golf Course is a municipal 18-hole layout in Herndon, Virginia, a Washington D.C. suburb. The course sits on land that was on the edge of the region's development when it opened, and it is now surrounded by the built-up town.
Designed by Edmund B. Ault and opened in 1979, the course has an unchanged, straightforward routing with a mix of wooded and open holes. It has hosted USGA Public Links sectional qualifiers over the years and earned Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification in 2009 for its wildlife and habitat efforts.
Owned and operated by the Town of Herndon, the course is open to public play with an onsite driving range and a clubhouse restaurant. The layout plays to a par of 71 and measures 6,197 yards from the longest tees, suiting walkers and higher-handicap players as well as more experienced golfers.

Algonkian Regional Park Golf Course
Sterling, VA · 5.9 mi away
Algonkian Golf Course lies along the Potomac River within Algonkian Regional Park in Sterling, Virginia. Originally designed in 1962 by architect Ed Ault, the 18-hole course was acquired by NOVA Parks along with the surrounding park in 1975. A long, tree-lined front nine plays flat and straight, while the rolling back nine adds doglegs and an in-play stream across several holes. Bermuda fairways lead to large bentgrass greens, and water comes into play on a number of holes, including the par-5 sixth and the long par-3 sixteenth. Operated by NOVA Parks as a public course, Algonkian offers a driving range, putting green, cart and club rentals, and tournament and outing bookings, with tee times available online.
Pleasant Valley Golf Club
Chantilly, VA · 7.4 mi away
Pleasant Valley Golf Club sits about 25 miles west of Washington, D. C. in Chantilly, Virginia, and is one of the few daily-fee courses in the Northern Virginia corridor with no housing built along its holes. The 18-hole layout opened in 1998 to strong reviews and was designed by Ault, Clark & Associates, the firm responsible for a long list of mid-Atlantic public courses. It plays to a par of 72 and stretches to 6,915 yards from the Gold tees, with the Blue, White and Red sets at 6,509, 5,953 and 5,106 yards, and the course is routed through rolling hills, mature hardwoods and stretches of native grass meadow so holes are framed by trees and tall grasses rather than back yards and cart paths. Length comes in bunches: the par-5 third measures 596 yards from the back and the 13th runs 563, while short par 3s at the 7th (186) and 14th (152) give the card some balance. From the championship tees it rates 73.5 with a 138 slope, a genuinely stiff test, and the medal, club and forward tees step down to 71.7/135, 69.0/129 and 69.6/128 to keep the round playable for higher handicaps. A modern clubhouse, full pro shop and practice facilities support a busy outing and tournament calendar, and the course rewards driving accuracy and comfortable iron play over raw distance.

Ashburn, VA · 7.9 mi away
