Preakness Valley Golf Course - East

My last few rounds here took entirely too long to play. Almost 5 hours each time. Today, however, we played a perfect 4 hours round on the west side. The course was in great shape, the staff is always great and the bar cart was always available.

The price, however, is steep for this course. They should never charge $65 for a round....that is insane. The only benefit of the $65 is i think it drives people elsewhere and therefore reduces the time to play a round! lol

Due to recent rains the rough hadn’t been mowed which made play from off the green something like US Open like conditions. A challenge but not unplayable.

Friendly staff. Course was in good shape and pace of play was great.

Fairway condition is good but slow green. Too many ball marks on green, nobody fixes ball marks.

Everything was great except one staff member. Please note that most of the staff (from pro shop to service)was exceptional but for the 2nd time there was one member of the team ( a different member from last time) that was very unhelpful. I’m not sure what would make someone want to work at a golf course (other than maintenance) if they have no people skills.

For a muni this course is in great shape. It's been really taken care of. The greens are a bit slow and the bikers could use some sand, but all in all a good day at the course.

Good place to play even for beginners. Courses were in nice condition. Overall layout was simple but straightforward.
