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.

Bad Experience
Yesterday, we played Lake President and was charged full rack rate $94.00 and the greens were aerated on the front and we were told to check into the club house on the turn because they were unsure the back aeration would be completed. Because of the double booking - there were four groups on hole three and beyond. Pace of play was outrageous. How can you charge rack rate when the greens are aerated with sand all over them? This was highway robbery and the clubhouse never informed us….
Not a good value for current course conditions
Tee boxes were a mess and this is not the first time. Fairways were over-watered to compensate for lack of rainfall but still had bald patches. Greens were the best part of the round. Because they are one of the few games in town for PG County public golf access they feel justified charging the current rates, but not worth it.
Pace of play. Woof. 5.5 hour round. Guys in front of us played a 3h front 9 and then quit. Then we caught a foursome and played a 2.5h back nine. Love the course layout. It’s very challenging and varied. But I will only torture myself to play here once per year until they put a ranger out move people along.
Poor management
I went into the clubhouse to complain to the managers about the slow play about the people, dropping three balls in front of us, and holding up the golf course no Rangers out there on the course at all all in the clubhouse sitting around, I went in to complaint. the managing inside of the clubhouse ain’t doing nothing. Lake presidential used to be one of the best course in the area now course is the last in the area. management really bad. I would never recommend this course to anybody because of the sorry management they had on staff today and the people that live there don’t deserve the management that’s in their clubhouse. fired the head manager.
...can't fix lazy
Great course and staff, but you spend way too much time fixing other peoples divots around the greens just to putt. Not a course problem, I realize, but sadly, the majority of the golfers playing there are the laziest golfers I've seen in all my years of playing.
Pace and Condition
Had a 10 tee time on Labor Day and was told in the pro shop the box was 10 minutes behind, ended up teeing off at 10:40, 40 minutes late, round took about 5 and a half hours with waiting on almost every hole. Great layout and friendly staff but poor management is turning a once great course into more of a hassle then it’s worth. Not saying don’t go but def look around at the other options in the area before you lock a time in.
Great
Amazing course!! The course is well kept, the staff is great, and the value is unbeatable for the DMV area

Course is nice, but they did not offer real food that day.
