Lake Presidential Golf Club

6 hours to play a round of 18 here. Three 4somes on a hole when you pull up. Completely overbooked. No marshals in sight to try and speed up play. Greens punched in May, tee boxes in bad shape. Yet to have a pleasant experience here.

I reserved a tee time for myself and three colleagues on 04/23/2022. As healthcare workers it is difficult for us to find time to get together and enjoy a round, and unfortunately this day one member of the group had a family conflict arise while another was called to duty, leaving two of us able to play. Given the late cancelation policy I arrived as early as I was able hours ahead of pur tee time and notified the pro shop of the change. We also requested use of the second cart which was included in the reservation/fee for 4 people. We were told that we would only be allowed one cart and that given our circumstances we would just be allowed to switch to a twosome. The course itself was okay, though around half of the greens were indistinguishable from the surrounding sand traps, making for an interesting short game.

The week following our round I received an email from GolfNow through whom I made the reservation that the course had instructed them to collect a no-show fee for the two members of my party who had been unable to come! I called GolfNow and they spoke with someone at the course who insisted on charging the fee. While I certainly understand the need for such fees, I do not appreciate the dishonesty, and in the least I would have liked to have use of the second cart if I was going to be charged for it all along! I do not plan on playing here again.

We teed off 20 min late because of delays and quit after 9 we had a close to 3 hour 9 holes The Marshall blamed the quality of players on course Short staffed and slow They gave us only a 35 dollar credit each even though we paid 99 each for 18 and said 9 holes was 60 ? Not good condition overall maybe later in season it will come in sad such a nice place is not more professional and upscale as it could be they act as u should be ok with the pace of play even when you have other plans you can’t cancel and you should eat the cost because of it

Super friendly staff, clean and well managed facilities, course layout w/ interesting up & down hills & the lakes…I can’t ask more… one of my favorite corses. Keep up the good work!

Great layout, but the course is not run well. Round took 5 hours and we were unable to finish. It seems like this is the normal here. Also doesn’t help the greens were airrated and we were not aware before getting there. Has so much potential if the Marshall did their job

There was no warning to us when I booked that the course was being/had been punched. Since the punch was only 4 days old, the greens were obviously awful, making the long round we always see here pretty rough -- thankfully it was good company! I don't know if that's a GolfNow issue or a Lake Pres issue, but when we were told at check-in, they gave us all $25 gift certificates to Lake Pres which is a nice gesture but a meh solution and makes me think Lake Pres didn't communicate the schedule with GolfNow's system.

Terrible pace of play. When we arrived, we were informed they were running about 30 minutes behind. No complementary range balls were offered. Once on the course, it was super slow. At one point there were 5 groups backed up on one tee. There was a marshal that drove up to that tee and just sat there staring at us. When asked, he said "it's just normal summer golf...you gotta expect 5 hour rounds". We only played 9 holes ($70 each) and it was over 3 hours, never more than a shot behind the group ahead. Terrible experience on the course.

Several blind holes…course makes one think. Good variety of wide open fairways and tight as well. Greens have been recently top dressed and punched. I believe they will be tremendous in a few weeks. Staff was great, provided good, useful information about the course. Pace of play was good for a Saturday afternoon. Would definitely play again.

Just aerated and had to play the front twice since the back was unplayable. Seems like they should have been charging half price.

Greens and fairways were aerated and there was noalert

The course was nice enough albeit slow moving and a late start. My complaint is with their policies. I reserved a foursome but one of my party tested positive for covid the morning of our tee time.

Management was entirely unwilling to work with me. I was charged the $120 of his tee time without any concern or attempted customer service. I guess they'd prefer my friend show up and infect the rest of their staff & clientele. I will NOT be booking at Lake Presidential again nor should you unless you want to roll the dice to throw your money away.

Showed up to the course and immediately found out the tee times were nearly an hour behind schedule. No golf carts available until we tee’d off and very little communication from the staff. Once on the course the pace of play was terrible. Played 11 holes in 4+ hours and decided to give up after the 12 hole was backed up. I understand that some of this was beyond the management’s controls but the lack of communication was extremely frustrating. I will not go back to this course based on this experience:(
