Rating 74.3

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.

Nice Hidden Course

First time playing at Lake Presidential and had a great time. Staff was friendly, cost was very reasonable and course was challenging. Other than the greens not being in good shape, had a great time.

Bad Course Management

I have played here before and had no complaints. On the day I most recently played, the team managing the player situation made a serious mistake. After a frost delay (which I know can't be avoided), they sent off all the backlog in a shotgun start on all holes. They did NOT notify everyone else of the situation. I arrived for a Noon tee time about 45 minutes early. I didn't even have a cart until 1:00 p.m. and didn't tee off until approximately 1:20 p.m. Once we started, there was an extreme backlog at every hole, sometime waiting for three groups ahead of us to tee off. What should have been noon start and easy finish before dark turned into the worst golf experience of my life with about 13 holes played before dark. We all know you can't avoid frost delays, but no one around that day had ever witnessed such poor planning. On top of that, the staff made no effort to apologize or make up for it in any way. On top of that, they had not put any water out on the course and did not have a beverage cart - this was on a holiday with a fully booked tee sheet. Another sad example of limited supply and large demand for golf in the DMV.

Pace of play was excellent until I ran into a foursome. Played 14 holes in 1:45, but took 1 hour to play the last four holes.

Great course and friendly staff

It was my first time playing Lake Presidential. I was really impressed with the course and the driving range. Friendly staff but no food available. Possibly COVID related or lack of workforce. Either way we came for the golf and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Winter Golf

It’s our last round of the year and couldn’t have picked a better day to play, and not to mention the course was pretty empty so the c.p.o (cart path only) worked out well.

No one holding us up and no one pushing us either. The overall course conditions were exceptional and for what we paid online was satisfying. Looking forward to playing again @Whiskey Creek as long as the price is right.

Well kept, challenging layout.

This course is challenging but doesn't beat you up with "through the windmill into the clown's mouth" holes. For Dec. 25 it was in very good condition. It was busy but play was kept at a reasonable pace. It's a little pricey but on par with comparable tracks in the area.

Slow greens and slow play

Course was in OK shape, but the greens were significantly slower than the practice green and every green actually had multiple holes cut in them for some reason. Also, none of the flags made sense. Red, white, blue, colors alternated by hole, but didn’t seem to have any consistent meaning. Staff was nice, but seemed confused and unfamiliar with their computer systems. Pace of play was slow despite having twosomes in front of us and didn’t see a single Marshall all day. Course layout is interesting and this course could be great with some more attention to the conditions and pace of play.

Sad Situation

I can’t say anything good about this place anymore. Since Troon let the property go it has completely went down the drain. I wish there was a way to get a refund….
