Two well-maintained 18-hole layouts offer distinct challenges, with the West Course ideal for walkers and the East providing a rewarding test. Exceptionally friendly staff, a full driving range, and a bar with patio views round out an impressive public golf experience.

Gnats galore

While a relatively pleasant course to play, the gnats swarming on every hole, incredibly unpleasant. Much worse than other courses in the area. Bring your cigars if you want to survive the round.

The worst customer service I’ve recovered on a golf course.

Booked 18 holes twilight with my buddy Good Friday through golf now. Walked through 11 holes and the ranger Daniel comes out to tell us we only paid for 9 holes and we have to leave. Confused I showed him my golf now booking for clearly 18 holes. He then hands me my receipt from the starter saying 9 holes. Apparently the club has changed their rules and after 3pm only 9holes are allowed in their system, which we were never informed. Our tee time was at 3:20… Because this was entirely the clubs fault for mischarging us and still allowing us to book 18 and I did not receive the service I requested I offered to pay the difference was denied and rudely mistreated until I was forced off the golf course in the middle of a round. I’ve never seen such poor treatment of a regular patron that I couldn’t walk and finish a round. Happy Easter Daniel and Preakness Valley maybe you’ll learn to treat your customers with class next time when you make a mistake!
