Lake Presidential Golf Club

Pace of play was stop and go. When we were waived through the group ahead of us on 12 there was no one ahead of us. Challenging course. Green tees ahead of the regular white tees were not listed on the card and seniors should consider playing from those as holes 5,6,7,8, 13 and 15 are long if you do not hit a long and straight tee shot. They will wear you down.

This course is always a nice challenge for me. The greens and fairways were in great condition. Fun course. Distance marks out there but a little hard to find

I think the other nine folks in my group would agree

This was the worst experience I've had playing in the DMV. Front 9 took three hours and 15 minutes and the GM said this was acceptable to them. The refused to offer a refund even for 9 holes on an already overpriced round. Will definitely never play here again and would direct others to stay away.

The 2021 gotta be the best year for Lane Presidential since its inception back in 2008. From Tee box to the Greens, the course is in awesome condition! .. I know there are few bunkers and some areas on the fairway or around the rough areas needs some improvements, but we constantly see ground crews out there up keeping the course. This golf course gotta be one of the top golf golf courses in the dmv area .. go check it out! you won’t be disappointed!

Course starts out with 4 fairly easy holes then punishes you on holes 5-8 and 9 if u do not carry the water. A little more friendly on the back nine except for the approaches on 11, 13 and 15. Definitely need your A game here.

Requires some local knowledge to get the most out of your round.

I was very excited about this course. The flyover feature on the website gave me a great impression of what was to come with my round.

While the course was in relatively good shape (fairways and green had a ton of unfixed divots) it was simply not fun to play. There were a remarkable number of blind shots and holes that were not reachable even after a good drive. Combined with at least 6 extremely guarded pins, even a good ball striking day would not have lead to a good score.

The best example of this was the Par 4 5th. This was 420 yard par 4 that plays as a 90 degree angle of a dog leg left. To reach the green in 2 one would have to hit a 300 yard tee shot to the right side of fairway that actually slopes to the LEFT! What is the point of a hole like that.

I am happy I checked it out and I might have enjoyed it more if I played better, but I really did not love the layout. I will not be returning.

This course is just fantastic, albeit very challenging. We played this course from the Blues and it is long with really well-protected greens.

The course is always in great shape and I love to make a long drive to play here.

Really friendly staff too.

I played here for the first time last year. I’ve heard that Lake Presidential used to be a nice course. So in the nicest way possible, the course layout was nice and challenging, but the condition was bad. Patchy roughs, shriveled up fairway, and greens weren’t in the most favorable condition either. I played there again for the 2nd time yesterday after hearing from a buddy of mine that the condition of the course had been revamped and back in good condition. After playing there yesterday, I can attest that the course is freakin AWESOME! The greens, fairways, roughs, everything was in great condition. Would definitely recommend this course to a friend.

Great course couldn’t figure out green speeds due to the greens being really long think they were prepping for a tournament

Nice to play this course when it is firmer than previous rounds when it is usually saturated. Greens were inconsistent in speed but they were better than prior rounds. A constant issue is that players do not fix divots in the fairways and ball marks on the greens. In certain collection areas near the greens, there were many land mine size divots. Figure this out and this course would definitely move up the ladder. It is getting better. Received good deal on Golf Now otherwise would not pay the price.
