Race to the Bottom

This Great course is racing to the bottom, not because it’s not a great course but due to poor management and poor decision making by the person(s) in charge .
For starters Aerating a course a week to a major two day tournament is bad business.
Aerating when the tournament is in progress is suicidal for any golf course not mentioning unethical any way you look at it.
This did happen during my three days of playing golf on this otherwise great course on October 8th, 10th and 11th 2023.
Truth be told I will never set foot on this course ever again in my golf life and not a dime of my money will go there directly or indirectly thanks to the course management.

Aeration During a Two Day MSGA Tournament

Played at Lake Presidential for the Maryland Senior Open.
120 of the best golfers in Maryland converged on this “Great “PGA owned and operated golf course.
The course was recently Aerated, Informative that should have been conveyed to the major tournament organizers… for them to decide whether to hold the tournament there or not under those conditions.
On the first day of the tournament, Hole #11 was Aerated .To make matters worse on the second day of the tournament, Hole # 8 was being aerated as the tournament was going on…. The tour man organizers decided to have players skip the hole as it was not playable.
There has to be a really good reason to aerate a course during a major state tournament that escaped all the golfers and tournament organizers but was made business sense that was solely known by the course management.
One employee who has worked at the course for more than 30plus years could not pass judgement on that decision when questioned. Hats off to the decision maker for this outstanding disregard for paying golfers in the state.
I’m still reeling from the experience and will continue to do so for years to come. Hopefully never at Lake Presidential again…

Course in Poor Condition Greens and Fairways

Course was in bad shape. Recently aerated, Information that should have been mentioned at booking. Greens were horrible and not cut. Was practicing for a tournament there. Felt like it was total waste of time and money. Travelled an hour to the course. I could have played elsewhere for better value. Played with someone who paid $37.00 to my $91. 00 we were equally dissatisfied with the course condition. Obviously I spent more for same outcome.

Great course going bad

I have played on this course several times . My third time this year. The course has always been in great condition. I especially have liked the greens for their smoothness and speed until now.
The greens have been neglected. Crab grass all over the greens. Seems like they must have lost an experienced caretaker and don’t have a replacement.
Pace of play was very slow….. hardly any Marshall made the round on Saturday. No cart girl either on the rounds either.
At least that would have helped. A stop in the club house after the 9th hole only to be told cash only…. Order took longer than the 10 minutes given, luckily that meant the pace was better on the back nine.
What’s worse, I went to the pro-shop after my round and talked to the GM and the golf professional about the course conditions and they swore everything was great on the course…. apologized that the greens were not to my liking.
What a pathetic response to constructive feedback. Head in the sand approach like the proverbial ostrich was the last response I expected!
I’m sorry my golf now price of 39 dollars was too much for a crappy round. I could have had a better round at a county course.
Unfortunately I have to endure this course one more time as I have a prepaid tournament to play there next week.
Please take care of this once great course and heed the feed back you have been getting from the players, They are more objective than your perception.

Appreciate the feedback, but don’t appreciate the serious unfair exaggeration.
It’s been a long hot summer.
We are not perfect, but we know we have strong ratings and a hard working committed Team. …..and a great value round of golf and food and drink.

First time playing this course. Having heard a lot about it in the past . Not what I was expecting for a country club. Poorly kept fairways and greens, No treatment has been done this year and from the look of things last year. Would rather play a public course any day even for the $15.00 golfnow deal. Fairways were either soggy or extreemely dry. On one Par 3 (Hole #7) The makeshift T-box was a dirt cart path two blue pins on either side!. Definitely off my bucket list and never coming back.
