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.

Good and bad

Course is in good shape for wintertime, green and not beat up. Busy warm day during holiday week I expected it to be busy which it was-ok. We had a 5 some playing in front of us and would have been behind another group of 6 but they offered to let us go ahead. The single my wife and I were supposed to share tee time wanted to play by himself. No starter, ranger or course management of play to say the least. The group in front was slow, frequently having multiple people spending lots of time looking for balls that were hit into hazards and they were about 3-4 holes behind the group in front of them. Never offered to let us play through so we skipped the 9th and went onto back nine. Never caught up to another group until 12th hole and they were moving at pace. I’d read bad reviews last summer regarding pace of play here and can say I’d love to come back to this nice course often if they could mange their tee times and pace of play better.

Course is in great condition

Love playing Lake Presidential, especially in the off season when the rates are down. You can't beat the grass range and chipping green. The starter was wonderful, doing his best to mitigate the frost delay. Only went off about 10 minutes after our tee time.

Great Test

This was my first time playing this course. I’ve read mixed reviews but wanted to see for myself. I was very happy with the layout and the friendliness of the staff. I was paired with a great threesome. I will definitely play this course when I’m in town again.

Never Again

I had a 2 PM tee time and was not allowed to tee off until after 3 PM. When I requested a refund as I was not allowed to tee off for the time I reserved, I was rudely denied. Needless to say, I will never entertain the idea of going back based on the level of unprofessionalism I experienced and complete lack of competency by the individuals managing the course.

Bad Management

We booked what we thought would be plenty of time to play 15 holes or so today at Lake Presidential. They had let so many players on the course that we teed off 40 minutes late. Pace of play was abysmally slow; we had long waits at each hole. Although the cart message system kept telling us the Marshall would be forcing slow players to skip holes, if it happened it didn't help. We were running to our balls to do our part. It took us 3 hours and 15 minutes to play 9 holes. We asked for a 9 hole voucher. The manager was very brusque and told us the rate was a good one so we should only expect to get in as many holes as we could regardless of the slow pace. It was not offered as a Twilight rate nor was there any such warning. It"s thev2nd time I've had then bait and switch rates on me. Don't waste your time and money at Lake Presidential.

Incredibly beautiful golf course

I played this course a lot when I lived in the DC area, and it has really matured well. The fairways like a carpet and the greens oll nicely... Tee boxes need to grow in a bit but I would recommend giving this track a try...

Great Layout, Great Staff, Horrible Conditions

This is a gen of a layout and the course staff were excellent. The course itself is in really bad shape. The greens were aerated and that is part of maintenance so I can’t say much about that. Tee boxes were in really bad shape. Lots of mud in various places. Not every course can afford heavy maintenance but this would be an absolute beauty if it could be upgraded.
