Preakness Valley (West)

I am really beginning to like this course. The greens are fantastic. It is obvious the amount of money and work that has gone into both West and East courses. Tee times are difficult to get but not impossible. The restaurant is very good and has entertainment on weekends. Great overall wxperience.

Nice Course

The course was in very good condition. The layout on the east course was a little confusing. They need direction signs to the 1st tees and the pros hop. It was a little difficult finding where to go, as a 1st timer.

Preakness East -- a good time

Having played the West Course a few weeks prior, I jumped at the chance to play the East when my Thursday morning freed up.

What a treat.The conditions were terrific, weather-wise and also groundskeeping. Greens are a little on the quick side and I was actually surprised at how firm the green s were given the recent rains.Pace of play was fine -- did a full round at just 4 hours exactly.

The track itself is a nice one -- not too long form the whites, no over abundance of trees, and fair layouts. Speaking of the layout, it does have several forced doglegs and blind holes.Im not typically a fan of these but once again, mostly fair without being gimmicky.

Would definitely recommend.

Course is a bang for the buck

I am a golfer with a single digit handicap , and for a public course that is pretty local to me, I cant be mad at all about the course. Greens are in good condition, same with fairways and teeboxes. Will be back a few times before the season ends.

great fun...but really???

As always, course was well groomed, with greens, fairways and tee boxes in great condition. Starter and check in were welcoming and great. I brought two golfers who never played here before one a newbie. I was not happy when one of the rangers felt the need to tell us to hurry up in just the 3rd hole. Because, there is a group two holes behind us who may catch up! HUH? MAY catchup? REALLY??? They are two holes behind us? I HATE WHEN RANGERS feel the need to MANSPLAIN women golfers!!! BY the end of the round, no one caught up, and we had to wait behind a group ahead of us. And the group that was 2 holes behind us...was 4+ holes behind us! I will return because I like playing here - but not sure if I'm bringing a girlfriends anymore.
