I have played this course many times and typically find it an enjoyable and challenging outing. Today there were two problems: golfers started on the back nine; fine. but by reaching the 10th (first) hole things got totally mired down. This course does only 8 minutes between tee times; probably the fewest in the area and it became impossibly slow (waiting 10-15 minutes for the party in front of you to clear out. We quit after 13 holes.. And they had just aerated some of the the fairways. So for many holes it was almost impossible to find an unencumbered piece of grass from which to hit your shot. At their rates they. need to better on both counts.

I realize that a lot of resources were put into this course to make it a better place to play. And I also understand, in the interest of keeping up a reasonable pace that tee times are spaced at every 12 minutes.

The course is fine; the pace of play not. From the 4th hole on we had to wait; sometimes for a long time. Best I can tell, the main slow down was people spending an inordinate amount of time on the greens. I really would encourage management to use a marshall to move people on; putting need not take forever. I played Bowie today which, I believe, has 8 minute tee times; we moved well through 18 holes because the golfers there understood there were many behind them and things need to move well. That was not the case here. We finally quit after 11 holes.

Bowie, with the closing of some nearby courses, has become very popular. Nevertheless, the course is still fun to play, with many interesting holes. On Golf Now, great value. My one request is that they once again allow tee times to be booked on-line. Most of us just don't want to call the clubhouse and go back and forth on what's available.

This is generally a decent course with some interesting holes and is (at lease on Golf Now) reasonably priced. However, today a group of 20 (I guess five foursomes)went out shortly ahead of us and the pace of play became so slow that we quit after nine holes.

The course is in good shape. The layout is interesting; making it generally a fun course to play. Today, however, the pace became way too slow. The first seven holes went well; then things really slowed up, After 4 1/4 hours we had finished 15 holes and decided that was enough. As we drove to the club house we passed seven foursomes either playing or waiting at the tee box. Had we played all 18 holes it would, I'm sure, been a more than 5 hour round. This doesn't usually happen here but clearly today something wasn't working.

The course is in great shape. The layout is always fun.

Great layout; lots of hills and valleys ,make for a good golf day. And, given its late August, the course was in very good shape.

The course layout is nice. The fairways, however, were anything but. They use, I assume, Zoysia grass and its completely brown. So its, of course, not so much fun hitting a ball off that surface. More frustrating is that while you can; 't ride on the fairways -understandable - you can't,, as other similar courses allow,, drive on the rough. All in all a bit of a long golf day. Will be back but not until the fairways green in.

Lake Presidential is a well designed course with several challenging holes. Perhaps a bit too tough for some but still worth a try. Course in the best shape of any course I have played in quite some time.

Fairway Hills is an interesting and challenging course that is currently in better shape than most other similarly prices courses I've ;layed recently.

I played this course in June and the layout was challenging and the course was in good condition. The layout is obviously the same, but the course conditions have seriously declined. The tee boxes and much of the fairways are without grass in way too many places. And given the recent rain and the lack of grass to absorb it, it was oftentimes a case of hitting out of the mud. if you could even find your ball, often plugged on the fairway.

Just not an enjoyable course right now; they need to do some serious work to improve condityions..

This is a well laid out, well maintained course with lots of fun holes, including two that abut the Choptank River. Prices vary a lot, but if you can get a decent deal at golf.now, go for it.

This course is in reasonably good shape - the fairways and the greens were in pretty good shape. And the course layout is reasonably challenging. The reason for the relatively low overall rating is that on a day where temperatures approached 90 there was no water to be had anywhere on the course. This is just not ok and they need to quickly remedy it.

Compass Pointe is an enjoyable course, fairly priced, and nicely challenging. I enjoyed the day but for the greens. You could hit a towering pitching wedge into a green and it would just not stick; rolling off the green. This happened way too many times. Management needs to do something to make these greens softer. Everything else was fine.

This course has a decent layout and some of the holes were in reasonably good shape. However, on several holes - particularly the front nine - there was goose poop on the fairways and even on several of the greens. Management simply needs to do a better job about cleaning things up more regularly than they apparently do.

This is a fun course to play; well designed with challenging but not impossible holes. Course in very good share; staff very helpful. A little pricey but Golf Now bargains may be available; if so, do book it.

The course layout is enjoyable, and you're treated to some scenic views of the Wicomico river. The greens were in good shape and the traps have mostly just been refilled with excellent sand. The problem is the condition of the fairways; they were simply not in good shape. Hopefully, as warm weather arrives management will work on making the fairways more conducive to a good round of golf.
