Lake Presidential Golf Club is one of Maryland's most popular public courses. It is a challenging championship layout that is player friendly enough to accommodate a wide range of skill levels. It stands out from run-of-the-mill municipal courses with exceptional conditions from the tees to the greens. The layout offers a diverse mix of holes that will have golfers using every club in their bag. There are some especially interesting par 3s that are visible but with enough hazards to make them a challenge. Houses border the front nine holes but they are absent on the back nine. The fairways on the last nine holes are densely lined with mature trees. The golf course finishes with an enjoyable par 5 that plays over a lake. It can be reached in two with a little skill and accuracy.

Course is in great shape!

There was a bit of a hiccup with the frost delay on Saturday morning. They decided on a shotgun start which worked out well. Only issue was the carts were locked and many of us couldn't move to our tee in time. Once that was resolved, we had no issues. The pace of play was very slow but that is typically in a shotgun start. Took about 5 hours.

Nice course in nice condition

Played as a single and joined another single and he was a comparable player, so it was a good time playing. Course was in nice condition, I was able to hit every fairway, unlike the other golfer who went into the rough numerous times and due to the high volume of leaves in the rough, he lost a few balls. No leaves in the fairway, which was nice of the maintenance crew. Greens rolled a bit slow, but were still nice to play on. I enjoyed the round.

Terrible value

Compelling course layout but awful tee boxes, peppered greens with no attempt to clear debris, and for $90 an absolute disgrace of a track.

Need a starter/ranger

To group people appropriately and also to assist slow groups that hold up the course. I used to caddy at Muirfield Village in Columbus, and this course is every bit as good,

Poor management

ACE OF PLAY IS HORRIBLE. There was no communication of Frost delay to later tee times (I had 12:30). Staff was unorganized to get groups out to recover from frost delay.

A work in progress

It was a 6 hour round. Yes they are working on it. Just my opinion would be to cut out tee times. Space them out more.

Staff friendliness is what would keep me going back. Shae the cart girl was on top of her game where serving drinks is concerned. They had an awesome deal on US Open shirts. $10 a piece apart of clearance. Not a bad deal at all.

One day I'll be back

Fees for GolfNow

Please include the hidden fees in what you advertise is the cost for the round. It’s very discouraging to think you paid $36 and then find out after you are charged that it was $47. Bush league tactic. I probably won’t use golf now in the future.

Customer Service

Greetings

I have played Lake Presidential several times over the years and have always enjoyed it up until my most recent visit. I am a veteran and sometimes I have issues with my knees or ankles and the day I played, it decided to act up.....after 9 holes of which roughly 6 were played due to me inability to turn on my left ankle so after 9 I decided to.depart so I asked if I could get a rain check and told Chris I believe was his name that I was having some physical difficulty and would like a rain check........with not a glimmer of customer service skills he simply said no and since it was after 1, you play as many holes as you can since I was only charged 50 dollars.........I understand that this is a business but had I of known that my body would decide to not cooperate then chances are I would have stayed home vs donating my 50 dollars to a course which hires employees who don't seem to care or lack the tack to deliver policy in a less offensive way.....perhaps he was having a bad day as well.....we never know what people have on their plate.....I have no hard feelings with the young man but would appreciate a little appreciation for patronizing the course because my dollars play a part.in keeping the doors open. Thanks

Terrible pace and greens

I used to love this course. The greens are long and lumpy. Pace was terrible. Why would you just put 2 some out at a time. Pair them up. Played 4 holes in 1.5hrs. I left right after.
