Golf Now Issue

I did not play it. I booked it on Sunday by accident. I meant to book for this Saturday instead of Monday but since it was less than 1 day laster I could not cancel and got screwed for it and had to pay.

Nice & Enjoyable..... Recommended

Despite the course's season conditions (tee boxes, bunkers, greens) being what they are, the East course (West is closed) is a nice, comfortable (for intermediate players) course to play especially with great hosts/partners (Dennis & Brian....members) who made for a very enjoyable day!

johnny pataco and preakness

I played both east and west and they are both challenging. The east has a more open feel to the holes and the west is a bit closer and tighter to play. Both are equelly as challenging. I enjoy playing at Preakness.
