Great course

Best bang for your Buck. Staff was friendly, course was excellent and very well maintained. Gnats seem to be an issue but that’s nature. Would highly recommend this course to anyone.

Best Condition Yet

Always love the value of playing at Preakness but the West course right now is about as good as it’ll get. Just fantastic. Fairways are brilliant and the greens post aeration are really coming in nice. Big hand clap to the staff for all the hard work!

Bugs!

The gnats are very annoying. I read some reviews prior so made sure to spray ample repellent, which didn't matter. The repellent keeps them from getting in your mouth, nose, ears...etc...but the little buggers still fly within millimeters of your face They are everywhere on this course! The course is short, but wider than it looks on paper...one hole was under repair. Tee boxes were in decent shape as well as the greens. Service was good. I would play here again if it were not for the bugs.

East Course

Started on time. Pace of play was just over 4 hours. The course from the back (blue tees is less than 6,00 yards. The real problem is that there are NO YARDAGE MARKERS WHATSOEVER anywhere on the course. Some of us don't have GPS. If I have to guess what club to use, a confident swing is very difficult to produce. Without yardage marrkers, you can't play. How hard is it to have blue, white, and red markers. I'll never play this course again
