Course Overview
Lake Presidential Golf Club offers an 18-hole public layout that balances accessibility with a rewarding challenge for golfers of varied skill levels. Situated in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, this course integrates a blend of well-maintained fairways and strategic water hazards across gently rolling terrain. The setting presents a thoughtfully crafted environment where natural contours influence shot selection, and the presence of water bodies adds both visual appeal and tactical complexity.
Designed to accommodate players from novices seeking a friendly introduction to the game through to more seasoned golfers aiming to sharpen their competitive edge, Lake Presidential’s layout encourages a paced, steady round. Many holes sweep around ponds or streams, demanding careful approach shots and providing a dynamic test of accuracy and course management. The greens are sizable and generally receptive, fostering opportunities for creative putting lines without punishing slight errors harshly.
The course’s well-kept driving range and practice facilities allow players to warm up adequately before setting out or hone particular aspects of their game after a round. Despite some reported delays during peak play times, the staff works to maintain a welcoming atmosphere with helpful service and responsive attention to player needs.
Players who prefer walking will find the terrain manageable, although the course’s natural water features require navigation around several crossing points where solid footwear is recommended. Golf carts are available but many appreciate the chance to experience the course on foot, soaking in the varied landscapes and pockets of mature trees that punctuate the property.
At the heart of the experience is a commitment to value, with green fees positioned competitively within the region and amenities that support an enjoyable day of golf. Whether arriving for a casual round, a practice session, or a social gathering, Lake Presidential Golf Club caters to a broad audience while delivering a course that rewards thoughtful strategy and steady play in a straightforward yet engaging setting.
Course Highlights
The course is characterized by multiple water hazards that come into play on nearly half the holes, requiring precise shot placement. Large, receptive greens paired with moderate bunkering create a fair test of strategy and skill without excessive penalty. The driving range and practice green provide ample space for preparation, while the proximity of mature trees adds subtle shading and definition to the fairways.

Played on a Tuesday and had almost entire course to myself. The layout is beautiful and course in excellent shape, although people need to repair balk marks and divots better. Staff super friendly and for $55 can't beat it.

My wife and I attended a birthday party here and it was beautiful. The hall was well decorated and they had friendly staff. The hall was well maintained, awesome facilities and good pace. They had separate restrooms for males and females and they were extremely big and clean. The restrooms also had a big storage closet and a sections where you can change outfits. The bartender was so professional. The hall also had a section where you can buy anything related to playing golf. In all we had fun.

This turtle walked from the teebox to the green faster than we did on hole 6 because pace of play was so slow. If you’re looking to get away for 6 hours of your day, this is the place.

Worse golf experience I've ever had. Took 5 1/2 hours to play a round of golf. Starter put a 5 some out on 2 groups in front of us at 0900 on a Friday morning. 4 holes in we had 3 groups waiting on same tee box. To top it all off made it cart path only because it rained the night before making it even worse. Should not have to pay over $100 for cart path only. I'm disable and had walked over 15K steps for a round of golf that I paid for a cart. Not an enjoyable round of golf at all.

Nice Golf Spot...

Terribly managed, horrible pace of play - unless you're alone early in the middle of the week expect a 5 hour round. Pro shop will say they're monitoring it but that's a lie (or at least they won't do anything about it). There's no drinking water on the course to top it off. Interesting layout of the course though

I was here on Saturday June 14th for my High School (Potomac High) reunion. This was my first time visiting and it was nice.
