Great as always!
Great course as always. We were about 15-20 min late due to traffic for our tee time on a day that was fully booked with tee times. They still found time for us to get out and enjoy the round. Love the course and the people!

Not a truthful course
Played Friday on April 22 and they aerated the greens on Tuesday and there was no notification online, not right they should have had some kind of alert so people can make their decision.

Friendly Course with adequate maintenance
I played Preakness Valley (West) in April 2022. The course was fairly well maintained for a public course but had it's fair share of beat up tee boxes and bumpy greens.
Fairways were in solid shape and not too wet like I've seen in the past. The biggest negative of the round was how crowded it was. Tee times were spaced 5-10 minutes apart creating some traffic around holes 8-14. Given the wide range of golfing talent that plays here that's fairly expected so keep your expectations in check.
All in all it's an excellent course for the money and I'll gladly play again.

Good early April round
Pace started slow but picked up on the back 9. Greens were aerated today but otherwise conditions were fine. Not too wet, but cart path only today. Hopefully no cart restrictions soon. Always happy to play here.
