Preakness Valley Golf Course - West

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.

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.

Friendly staff, carts are permitted in the parking lot. Course always looks nice

Fun track, staff is great, course is in great shape-today the rakes and ball washers came out! Its a local go to place gor me to play.

The conditions of Preakness Vally golf course are outstanding. The golf course staff has done a remarkable job over the past few years.

It would have been nice to get my money refunded, but after pre-paying you arent told anything even when you check in. I learned the 6 holes were closed when i grabbed a score card at the starters shack. lus they had some sort of tournament earlier in the day and the course was backed up on the East waiting to hit tee shots and second/approach shots on every hole.

Great track-few holes closed due to rain, played it as a 20 hole track-great deal!!

This course keeps getting better every time I play it. East course has beautiful tee boxes. Greens in great shape, fairways and rough top notch. Played a 3 hour round on 5/6.
