Lake Presidential Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Lake Presidential Golf Club is one of Maryland's most popular public courses. It is a challenging championship layout that is player friendly enough to accommodate a wide range of skill levels. It stands out from run-of-the-mill municipal courses with exceptional conditions from the tees to the greens. The layout offers a diverse mix of holes that will have golfers using every club in their bag. There are some especially interesting par 3s that are visible but with enough hazards to make them a challenge. Houses border the front nine holes but they are absent on the back nine. The fairways on the last nine holes are densely lined with mature trees. The golf course finishes with an enjoyable par 5 that plays over a lake. It can be reached in two with a little skill and accuracy.

Really Enjoyed!
We got out during the week, and its been dry so the course played pretty well. Breezed through 8 holes before we met 2 4somes, then needed to remember the pace of play is a little slower - but overall very happy
Remember to rake bunks and fix ball marks/divots - no one is going to do it for you!
Lil bit of Heaven in Upper Marlboro
Top shelf course without the top shelf attitude.
Staff could not have been more hospitable.
You can't help enjoying the course even when your not at your best..
Thanks to all the staff for your friendly attention to your patrons 😊
I will be seeing you all soon.
B.C.
Very nice public course. Will play again.
Course was in great shape. Definitely will play this in season. 5 different tee boxes set the course up well for any skill level. Large undulated greens can be challenging. Overall great value and well presented course.
Slow play, punched greens, and lame manager
Nice course, good facilities, absurdly slow play. 20 minute wait to tee off. 10-15 min between holes. Front nine was 3 plus hours.
Manager grudgingly gave partial credit since we ran out of time to play back. No apology whatsoever, like he was doing us a favor.
Also greens had recently been punched but there was no warning on website like most other courses have’
Probably wouldn’t go back but since they only gave us vouchers and not cash refunds I guess we kind of have to.

Course is in great shape!
There was a bit of a hiccup with the frost delay on Saturday morning. They decided on a shotgun start which worked out well. Only issue was the carts were locked and many of us couldn't move to our tee in time. Once that was resolved, we had no issues. The pace of play was very slow but that is typically in a shotgun start. Took about 5 hours.
Nice course in nice condition
Played as a single and joined another single and he was a comparable player, so it was a good time playing. Course was in nice condition, I was able to hit every fairway, unlike the other golfer who went into the rough numerous times and due to the high volume of leaves in the rough, he lost a few balls. No leaves in the fairway, which was nice of the maintenance crew. Greens rolled a bit slow, but were still nice to play on. I enjoyed the round.
