Lake Presidential Golf Club

The greens were aerated but that's the nature of this time of year.

Title says it all. 5 plus hours to finish. Partly due to CPO but come on why charge full price when greens rolled like a sandy beach. It's a very good challenge no doubt.

Course was in good shape,; however, they did just airrate the greens. They gave a discount for airrating the greens which was nice. Pace of play was a bit slow, mainly due to cart path only.

Booked a tee time on golf now as a single at 6:45am. Got bumped to 7:05am iin order to get grouped as a foursome. I was OK with that except that we got put behind a foursome that was excruciatingly slow. Waited at almost every hole and ended up playing in about 4:45 min. That pace is way too slow, especially for the first groups to tee off. I trulyI felt sorry for those behind us. The course should send someone out to enforce pace of play and make the round enjoyable for everyone. They could also mandate fast play for the early groups. Anything would have made this round better.

No issues with the course conditions. I thought the greens were rolling really well for this time of year. Not the course for a beginner as there are some forced carries. No dobut would play here again, if not for the SLOW play. We teed off at 1040 on Sundy morning and it took 5 hours and 20 mintues to play, with us having to wait to tee off most holes. Made it hard to get into a rythem out there. Otherwise I was happy with the place.

A friend (18 hcp) and I (2 hcp) played this course on a Friday morning at the crack of dawn. 6:30a tee time with only a few groups ahead of us. The layout is impressive: challenging, with plenty of variety and difficult-but-fair greens. Many blind shots and holes that you have to play once to know what to do next time—except there won’t be a next time.

Staff was not friendly to us when we checked in; we couldn’t even get coffee at 8:15a when we made the turn. But nothing was as bad as the carts.

The GPS-enabled carts basically ruined the round. Locking up 100 yards from the green and 15 yards before the “Carts Exit” signs was frustrating. Unskippable advertisements that popped up with incredibly loud beeps, sometimes while we were playing shots, was worse. Multiple warnings to “increase pace of play,” also accompanied by loud beeps, when we were virtually alone on the course and played 18 holes in 3.5 hours, was unforgivable.

It’s a shame. The course isn’t really walkable, which means I won’t be going back. Can’t abide those carts again. Using GPS to lock carts before they access greens, etc, is absolutely reasonable—but this was three steps too far.

This was my second time playing this course in 2023 and both times as a single. Staff were great and pace of play wasn't an issue since I was allowed to start off the back. The course was good shape and greens were decent. Only issue with the course itself is that it is not user friendly. 4-5 holes were cart path only and most had cart restrictions within 80 yards. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but the course is not easy to walk even with a cart. Great shots may still require hiking gear. This isn't a complaint since the layout is the layout, but for anyone worried about pace of play, Id guess it has less to do with people playing slow and more to do with the actual time it takes to reach your ball. As the title says, you can lose rhythm really fast when traversing the terrain after a tee shot. Overall a good outing, but I don't think I'll play there again.

Had morning tee time and nobody was on the course. Courses was in good condition and no bare spots on the greens. Will definitely play again!

Why this course receives anything less than 5 stars is beyond me. Beautiful course with beautiful greens and fairways. Conditions were amazing. Pace of play was a little slow, people Infront if you don’t really seem to care but that’s nothing due to the course. It’s challenging but forgiving at times. All around great experience, just maybe the hot dogs at the clubhouse could have been way better.

Super fun course with a variety of holes. Staff is friendly and carts come with gps and bluetooth. Going to come back soon!

Course was in excellent conditions!!!

If you can find a Hot deal for under 60$ like I did this course is a steal. Challenging layout, in great shape already for early in the season. First time playing in and will definitely be coming back

Pace of play was to slow no one monitoring groups.

I would appreciate the course maintenance staff stop trimming the edge of the Greens with his riding lawnmower during my outing routine. Totally in considerate!!

Hole #3

All I can say is I hope you are ready for a 6 hour round on the wknd. They were so booked up we waiting on each tee box for at least 5-10 minutes. Started told us they were 30 minutes behind schedule. Although its a good course they need to not overbook and get the ranger to do more then “nothing I can do”.
