Lake Presidential Golf Club

First time playing here and I enjoyed it. The course has a great layout and is very challenging. A few fairways were recently aerated and some areas around a few greens were scraped for new sod, which was fine. It was nice to see all the maintenance going on and monies going into the upkeep and course improvements. Five stars for that for sure. Even the two men cutting grass were working hard and respectful when hitting your shots. It was a great course and a great ball striking day. Rolled in a few birdie putts too !

Imagine your party is just getting started its 9p and the staff comes to tell you to shut your party down now...you look in disbelief at how insensitive these people are. You ask why...she says you have to be out by 10p. Ok I know that but its not 10p. She says well we need one hour to clean. I ask, "My contract says 10p and there is ZERO clause indicating you need one hour to clean." Now I am just angry. As she proceeds to angry with my sister about shutting down the party with an attitude like we didn't pay every dollar to host our event there, I instantly regret selecting this place and paying $3200 for next to nothing. How dare you speak to your customers this way and how dare you approach us with such coldness. The people here are trash, the place is beautiful but not worth it if you will be treated with such disrespect. We cleaned up in 30 minutes and without kicking our guest out. They left when they were ready and we were out at 10p like we had planned to be. New management needed again or extreme customer service sensitivity training is needed because clearly these people do not know how to run an attractive business. I will not golf and spend a dime in this community ever again. Maybe she didn't like to see our people happy. She should do something about that and not antagonize the customers. What a trash person.

The course layout is absoluely great. Very challenging with many dog-leg left and elevated greens. Loved the hilly contour

The course had been hastily aerated, which in the wet conditions left mud piles everywhere along fairways and green skirts. A group in front of us took 2 hours to get through 6 holes. We breezed through the last 12 holes in 2 hours after playing through. Course was pretty empty, as expected for Wednesday early afternoon. The course was also very long, especially as tee box markers were clustered at farther tees as the course repaired and resodded some closer tee boxes. But the rate was $27 for 18 during the week, and GN coupons made it even cheaper. Ok value for the shape it was in, would’ve been tremendous if the course was in normal shape.

Just relocated to Chesapeake Beach from the southern Oregon Coast. First time playing LP. Awesome experience and will definitely play again shortly. Considering the club’s Player Development Program for $69 per month.

The only reason I selected 4 stars on conditions and pace was because of the time we choose to play (recently after necessary aeration and Thursday evening during league scramble).

I have nothing to gripe about. Staff was super kind and informative as were the follow golfers. I’ll be back soon if not later today.

9 min between tee times = 5 hour round, even on weekday mornings. Course conditions not great either, it seems no one fixes ball marks on the green.

Great course only thing is the fairways are beautiful and wide although right now they don't let you drive the carts on most of the fairways and cart becomes very far from your ball. Sometimes it feels like your hiking climbing the hill to get back to the cart

Course is completely beat up. Dry dirt patches everywhere. Took my friend there and I was completely embarrassed. He call it the worst he has ever seen. I am inclined to agree. Staff is also the worst. General manager is the least helpful I have ever seen. Got there early for my tee time and even with only 2-3 groups going out per hour, would not let us out earlyy.

I have played this course many times and typically find it an enjoyable and challenging outing. Today there were two problems: golfers started on the back nine; fine. but by reaching the 10th (first) hole things got totally mired down. This course does only 8 minutes between tee times; probably the fewest in the area and it became impossibly slow (waiting 10-15 minutes for the party in front of you to clear out. We quit after 13 holes.. And they had just aerated some of the the fairways. So for many holes it was almost impossible to find an unencumbered piece of grass from which to hit your shot. At their rates they. need to better on both counts.

Slow pace of play, 5:15 round. Expensive green fee. Course in rough shape (Fairways look like they hadn't been mowed in a week, dead/patchy areas on and around greens, patchy tee boxes, number of bunkers flooded).

What an awful experience we had at Lake Presidential. We show up for a 10:20 tee time and the starter says there is still two groups ahead of us so we don’t tee off until 25 mins later (which is a joke). Then the round proceeds to take 5:30 mins….just terrible pace of play and they did nothing to improve it and just said “it’s a nice day out and full course.” At one point there were 4 groups on or waiting to play hole 15. The course also costs over $100 is in below average shape with uncut greens and lack of grass around the greens. I’ve played this course 3 times before this one and this will be my last. Staff were jerks too and did not offer any accommodations for the terrible experience. Lake Presidential is officially off my list of tracks.

I’ve been a repeat customer at this course despite the fact that it’s priced way above the actual conditions. Will not be going back after the experience today. We were told that our tee time would be delayed by 15 minutes, which actually ended up being close to 30. The starter accidentally let a group go off the wrong nine and then called them back after had already played two holes. In the meantime he refused to let any of the groups that had arrived for their tee times go off. Once we did get on the course, pace of play was the slowest I’ve ever seen. We had 4 groups on one par 4 more than once. The Marshall came by only to let us know that we should expect a pace of 4 hours and 30 minutes, which was just clearly not true.

Beautiful, challenging layout at a great value. The course the last time I was out wasn’t in top shape as it usually is, but there were heavy rains earlier in the week so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Still on of the best public tracks in the area.

Slow Friday afternoon. No marshal. Greens a disaster. Need to explain how ball marks damage greens and give out free divot repair tools. Love this layout - they just can’t get it all together. Played on a hot deal - so fair value - but NO WAY - should anyone pay the premium prices or come to expect high end golf conditions.

I had a Hot deal for $57.00 and the regular price is $105.00. $57.00 was too expensive for this course. There were a lot of repairs being made to Tee boxes. The greens were aerated several weeks ago and the were still in rough shape. Hairy greens. Some of the fairways were as long as the rough. The Tee boxes were pushed all the way forward and were so worn out that you could not get grip on the sandy TEE box. The cups on the greens look like they have not been moved in weeks. The grass was burnt up around the cup edges and the edges were very rough looking. I am not frustrated that they were working on the course. I am frustrated that the conditions and the price do not match. This condition is as tops a $40.00 course and they are charging $105.00. I could play in better conditions at the local municipal golf course for $40-$50.

Unfortunately greens had just been aerated,, course was not in great shape. Since it’s close to the end of the season I guess it could look better in the Spring. Fun layout, definitely helps to have played here before or ply with someone that can tell you the angles and what lays ahead for the blind shots. 18th hole & 9th hole are memorable and fun.
