Great Course with the value
This is such a great course with reasonable value and the condition. Staffs are also friendly.
like a country club
I felt like I was at a country club. great golf. great band and drinks
This is an amazing course
Being a novice golfer, this course is great to be introduced to the greens. Love the layout and pace, and the staff are extremely friendly!
Beautiful day, beautiful course.
Conditions were perfect, greens ran well and challenging track for those of us who aren’t strangers of going long and wrong. Loved every second. Great track.
Better of the two Courses
If you can, try to book this side of Preakness, it’s much more open and features some challenging holes, albeit strange on the 7th and 8th. For the most part, greens were nice with limited debris. There aren’t many par 5s, but you will get your money’s worth and enjoy a round. I particularly enjoy their bar In the Drink, it’s much better than your typical golf course bar, food is pretty good and the staff members are very friendly.
Terrific shape, average layout.
Preakness Valley West is in tremendous shape. From tee box to flagstick, it’s impeccable for a county course. Greens are fast but not lightning, and as true as can be expected from a well trafficked course. Kudos to the greens keeping staff.
The course features generous landing areas in a parkland layout. There aren’t a ton of surprises, a few gentle doglegs, but most holes are straightaway and straightforward, flat, fairways flanked by old towering hardwoods, and tall marshland grasses. There is some water, but a lot more marshy carries and waste areas.
The greens are firm; I landed a half dozen high short irons that rolled through the putting surface. If you’re not hitting from fairway chances are your ball will not hold the green with anything more than a PW.
The course plays much longer than the card says from the tips. It’s a legitimate test.
The entire course sits on a what used to be a colonial estate which once served as George Washington’s temporary headquarters . There are no homes in the course and fairways are built around quite a bit of natural protected land.
Overall, a very well kept course, with a somewhat uninspiring layout. Practice faculties are excellent, and the rambling clubhouse has a proper restaurant with outdoor seating looking out onto the 18th green. It’s all very civilized.
Well kept greens
Friendly staff, carts are permitted in the parking lot. Course always looks nice
