Lake Presidential Golf Club

I figured it can’t be as slow as people say, we only see the bad reviews… Round took 5.5 hours with no stop on the turn after delaying the tee time 10 mins to wait for a cart to free up. Starter did nothing despite call to clubhouse on 11. Greens can’t hold up against the golfers that don’t repair their ball marks, tee boxes beat up, some bunkers unplayable. This course has the bones of an absolute gem, but I have no interest in playing it again.

Lots of bare spots in the fairways. Lots of large brown spots in the rough as well.

The course layout is nice, the course condition not so much. The pace of play was also brutally slow (5.5 hours). I’ll be back again, hopefully things will be in better shape and marshals out to regulate pace of play

This course as is is not worth the greens fees that are being charged.

Conditions were complete garbage. Grass is struggling everywhere. Bunkers haven't seen attention in weeks. Greens were in bad shape before being obliterated by pitch marks. Very slow greens, except for the two healthier ones. Cups looked like they were cut a month ago. Rock Creek in DC is the only course I can think of with comparably bad conditions. At least Rock Creek doesn't think such trash is worth $100 to experience.

Staff seemed stretched thin with many people worried about giving folks carts "too early" when people asked to load up 20 minutes prior to their tee time. No marshal or starter. Teed of 15 minutes late because the pro shop didn't have their act together. We were backed up with 3 groups on the tee by hole 4. Finally finished 9 in 2:50. Back 9 moved a bit faster after multiple people gave up on their round. Total time: 5 hours. Funny what not having a marshal or starter can do...

This was unquestionably the most disappointing round of my year. I hope my friends never ask me to return. I won't pay for this mistake experience again.

Do not play this course until they sort it out. The condition and pace was woeful. It really is gross, and somehow it’s around $100 to play. Worth about $25

Played with hot deal. Price was great. Pace of play was awesome. It was hot so not many were playing. Great layout. Good greens and fairways. A bit patchy around some greens.

No complaints about the course, greens were in nice shape, although not enough players are repairing their ball marks. The greens were slow, I guess due to being watered well, probably a necessity to the extreme heat lately, and the heat index in the triple digits was just oppressive. I'm looking forward to early Fall golf. Kudos to the concession cart driver, Natalie, she may have saved a few lives today. :)

The greens were a little slow and a little beat up where people don't lift there feet or fix ball marks. With the excessive heat a few greens needed cups moved and the greens syringed.

Course was in moderately good condition. Recent aerating of fairways. Damp in some low areas, other areas dry - typical of recent rain pattern. Staff all polite and helpful. Sadly and unexpected - no coolers of water in the course - wooden holders all empty. Almost 90 degrees out and humid. Only recourse - bring your own H2O or buy from beverage cart. Except one, all holes are bending left, many blind shots. Still all in all, a good round for a couple of hackers.

I have family and coworkers who live along the fairways of some of the holes. Ive played this magnificent course for over 5 years and I am impressed with the layout everytime I play here. The scenery is awesome, the staff are always friendly, even the grounds crew are mindful of when we're hitting and will pause or sometimes turn off the machines to not disturb our shots. I promise you that if you book a round, you won't be disappointed.

Your course is beautiful, and well kept. But having me walk all the hills, in the heat and humidity was too much. I ended up stopping after 14, because I was too worn out to continue. I sympathize with your need to keep carts off of fairways that are waterlogged, but it’s extremely difficult for seniors to play. Lesson learned. I won’t be back if it’s cart path only.

This course is supposedly award-winning for public courses in Maryland. This round didn’t feel like it. We’ve had a good amount of rain so I can’t give them a lot of flack for fairway and rough conditions. As for the tease and greens, I’m extremely disappointed. The tea boxes hasn’t been cut in at least three or four days, and the greens were impossible to hit a straight put on given the amount of ball marks. Even if you did hit a good pot on the right line, it wouldn’t go in because the cups were so smashed in that it would just roll around the edge. I know what a good cup is because I’ve worked at courses and cut them myself. It seems minute but it makes a huge difference. I’m glad I got a cheap hot deal because I’d be mad if I paid full price.

Hit the 1st tee a little after 10. The fairways were super wet. There was no rain the day prior. I get sprinklers but it was super wet.

There were several greens that had multiple burn marks, and of course no one seems to care about fixing their divots.

Overall the course was in great shape except for the few burns on the greens

The staff was super friendly: the friendliest I’ve ever seen at Lake Presidental.
