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.

Always the longest round

Makes no sense to spade out tee times 5 minutes apart, be cart path only , and NO Marshall

6 hour rounds of golf are not a good thing

Terribly slow play. Almost a six hour round. No marshall available to speed things up. Had to wait on carts for a 12:27 p.m. tee time. Golfers at this course have newer heard of a ball mark repairer.

Presidential lakes

The golf course was in spectacular condition. I teed off at 7:30 in the morning. The greens had been mowed and we’re in mint condition. A great value for the price to play this golf course. Was a fun track to play. I’m a six handicap and the golf course was very fair.

Worst experience ever

Worst experience on a golf course. Marshall was hounding us, and tried to make us tee off of ladies tees on 18. The group behind us was 2 holes back! I later found out the problem is with the head pro (Adam) and the Regional Manager (Chad).

Overbooked

My tee time was 3:18. We arrived to the clubhouse at 3. We were told there was a deley. So we hit the range for approximately 30mins. Finally got a cart around 3:45. Headed to the first tee and it was a back up. We didn’t tee off until 4:10. Almost a hour after our original tee time. 3hrs later we finally made it to hole 10. And we decided that this wasn’t worth it with the sun coming down to continue to play. Keep in mind we paid for the full 18 holes and asked for a refund and we were told the clubhouse was closed. So when it was all said and done after 4 hours at this course we only got 9 holes in and lost money. Me and my friends play this course often but after this round i don’t know if we will be going back for awhile.
