Preakness Valley GC West
I found this course to be wonderful. Fairways, greens and practice facilities were in great condition. Very nice senior rate as well. This was my first time playing here, visiting from Florida, but will definitely play here again next time I am in town.

Good, but Pricey
Great course, played here a few times. Payed $80, in my opinion that’s a lot for this course. Greens are fast. Hotdog at the turn was 7/10.

Tricky track
I was fooled by the total yardage for this course. Thought that under 6000 from the blues was going to be a boring round, but I was wrong. While not long, this course is a challenge. Holes are interesting and don’t let you try to bomb it out there at every hole, you’ll need your whole bag. Add to that the conditions were great, this course is one I went into thinking I wasn’t going to like but left wanting to play again.

Pretty good alternative despite....
The swarms of gnats (on the East course)....bug spray is a must!
Nice, comfortable course layout .... fairways, greens & especially the bunkers are well maintained. Recommended.........
