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.

Golfer Reviews
Some tee boxes had long grass growing on them and all the greens had unrepaired divots and spike mark around the hole. Bunkers were inconsistent some with sand and some with almost no sand. Challenging layout though
Overcharge for greens fees
Booked a foursome, one of our group didn’t show up, I got charged for the missing person. I don’t care if it’s written on the website under cancellations – that was $119. I will warn every golfer that I meet that they should be aware of how Lake Presidential operates.
Nice course but it never fails that no matter how early your tee time is you are looking at a 5 hour round. There is never a marshal out on the course making sure pace of play is in line, you always have groups searching endlessly for golf balls on every hole so its constantly backed up.
Great course!
Great layout & challenging - especially in the wet conditions! Be careful on the cart paths - carts will slip on the hills. Loved the course & staff - will definitely play again!
The Best Golf Course in P.G County.. Period!
I’m so disappointed with how high the price is to play golf these days, and some of these courses are absolutely a ‘dog track’ .. but not here at Lake Presidential.. the price is very reasonable and the course layout & conditions are a top notch .. don’t take my words for it just go experience it for yourself ..
happy golfing !
Don’t play here
They’ve started packing far too many tee times on since they’ve been under new ownership. The starter had no clue what was going on and we were delayed nearly half an hour just to tee off. Took us 2 hours to get to the 5th hole. Will likely never play here again.
Never Disappointed
My second round of the year, and also my first round playing this course since I played last winter season. Don’t need to go into too much in detail because simply speaking, I personally think Lake Presidential golf club is One of the Finest golf course in the D.M.V area 👍👍
Don’t take my word for it, go out try and experience it for yourself! Have a good round! ⛳️
Needs some TLC
The course seems to be struggling with the volume of business. When I played early afternoon the bar/restaurant was closed and there was no cart service. Fairways were decent (there were some bad spots but did not affect play) and the greens were bumpy with lots of unrepaired ball marks.
Wide fairways and challenging greens
I will say when I checked in, the guy told me to at least roll a few putts on the practice green because they're different than most places. It rained the night before so I was expecting them to be slow and it took almost the entire round to get to the point of trusting having hit a putt harder than I thought I would need to.The greens rolled nicely, just slow for me. I had a 6am teetime so there was nobody else around and I got to hit two balls on each hole and play at my own pace. For the most part I found the fairways to be wide enough for my hitting. There are plenty of elevation changes and a couple of blind shots, but a nice challenging course. The only issue I saw and it has nothing to do with the course itself, is that players aren't filling divots with sand. I didn't see a Ranger, so my suggestion would be to get a Ranger and if the play is at a good pace, then the Ranger can fill divots as a part of his daily routine.
Incredibly nice staff. Fun golf course
I've played like presidential several times and each time the staff has gone out of the way to be helpful, nice and professional. The course itself is wonderful. It's very difficult. I will use all my clubs. It gets a lot of play so the greens are pretty rough but they're still good enough. The only thing I don't like is because of the slope of many of the fairways. You can't take the cart into the fairway. I understand but it's some of it seems unnecessary
