Great course

I’ve played twice once on each course(east/west). Driving range is not bad and the small bucket is a good deal (55ish balls I think). Starters on both sides are very personable and friendly. I’m newer and they offered tips, advice etc. the people I played with were exceptionally helpful. Course is in great shape. East was a bit more fun for me since I could tee off with a variety other than a driver. West is probably a bit more challenging but still plenty of room for beginners. You won’t lose many balls.

As far as of course-. Pro shop is nice looking and clean. The staff there is friendly and fun to talk to. Bathroom was clean. Overall everything seems to be well taken care of.

Overall I highly recommend it. I will definitely play here again. It’s towards the top of courses(if not the top) I check to see if they have a tee time that meets when I can play.

What a gem

I’m not that great but the pace of play was good and not overbearing as to sap the fun out of a round. All my friends from out of town also loved this course.

Preakness East

First time playing this course and had a good time. The fairways are open and forgiving. The rough was not too rough but that thick grass can hurt you. A great deal and well maintained for a county course . Most of the challenges come from the tee box - the back nine have a few holes with the inability to see the hole from the green

Decent Value

Enjoyed the course overall. Decent value, good pace of play, good conditions (a bit dry / burnt in some rough areas, otherwise greens, tee boxes, and fairways were all in good condition) but overall very good for county course. Would play here again
