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.

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….

Great course, but slow

Everything was good except for the pace of play. It took 2:40min to finish the first 9 hole. Sometimes 2 different teams were waiting to tee off. However, i will definitely return and play it again.

This is where you want to play golf!

Staff was very helpful and attentive, course layout and surroundings were very nice and scenic. Elevations were exciting to play but not overwhelming. Carts were powerful and very maneuverable. Course was in great condition and greens too, for this time of year. Golf offers prices were fair and reasonable. Deals for old FNG's like me (8 weeks old playing 57 years on this planet) are plentiful. Go here soon and enjoy the game!

Course conditions so so

Played LP Monday 11/8. Perfect weather day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Driving range was stellar. Pace of play was excellent. Biggest complaint is that at least half of the holes are roped off so that no carts can enter. One might as well walk the course. Not golfer friendly in my opinion.
