About
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.

a day of golf
weather was beautiful course was beautiful, pace of play was great at 8:30am
Other reviews are correct
Lake Presidential is a beautiful, challenging course. We teed off 18 during golden hour and it was an incredible sight. However I don’t think I would play here again, simply based on the value. We knew aeration would be an issue, however I was expecting much better conditions for the price. We may try again in the summer, but I recommend giving this place a shot yourself. You may get better conditions.
Rewarding course
The greens were just aerated but this is a very well kept course
Back closed with no notice
Back nine closed, could not buy beer computers down, kitchen was closed. Cart died and needed a act of congress for them to bring new cart.
Nice and Challenging
Overall a nice course but second time playing it and its pace of play has been slow each time. Many holes are cart path only after even a light rain making it slower as getting to your ball can be a challenging walk up and down the rolling hills.
The rolling hills make the course itself pretty and fun to play. Very long for the average golfer, even if you're playing from the whites. Many par 4's you'll be laying up if you dont hit long. Greens are in good shape and fairways are above average.
Overall fun but challenging course.
Top Maryland public golf course
Fast green. Several holes with water. Few holes with large elevations. Play winter time/weekdays/twilight will cost less.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We look forward to having you play with us again.
Great track, overpriced
If you’re charging $100 the greens should all be immaculate and rolling med-fast. Have been here a few times and it’s fun to play but not worth the money. They don’t even have gps screens on the carts. There’s 7 other courses at around $70 that are in much better shape.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry the course was not up to your standards, aerification is happening this week. Come visit us have the course heals and I am sure you will be impressed.
LP
Nice course but the first time I’ve ever been charged because a player in our group couldn’t make it. Would not recommend because of this strict policy.
Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate you coming out to play, we do hold these spots based on the number of people booked and lose that time and unfortunately cannot fill it once the time has passed. This policy is put in place to protect that loss.
In the future just give us a call on your way in so we can open that time up to someone else.
Thanks again.
Thanks Mike!
Mike was the starter today at Lake Presidential and he took great care of us. The Course is long and most folks use a cart, but my buddy and I were determined to walk. Mike encouraged us, let us out as a twosome, and we had a wonderful day. ,
Thank you for your feedback. I will share your kind words with Mike. He will surely appreciate it.
Still a great course!
Lake Presidential is a great course to play with a very nice layout and great maintenance. Albeit a bit pricey, but I guess that is to be expected for his quality course while courses around the area are closing.
Thanks for your feedback. We hope to have you back out with us again soon.
