Member Golf at Preakness Hills
Our challenging golf course is a true test for players of all abilities.  Our facilities include our newly restored, expertly maintained championship 18 hole golf course, new short game practice area and driving range.  While Preakness Hills has always been regarded as one of the most beautifully maintained courses in the area, our newly restored course is one that everyone will want to see and experience. 

Preakness Hills is set on moderately hilly terrain with tight, tree-lined fairways.  Water comes into play on seven holes.  Greens are on the large side and individually shaped; many pitch from back to front. 

The course is best known for its par threes.  Six is the centerpiece, extremely narrow, 224 yards long, with a row of tall trees overhanging the right side, out-of-bounds and a creek bed in their shadows.   The putting surface is punctuated by a "burial mound" center rear.

The home hole is a par three, which plays across a pond to a two-tiered, back-to-front green bunkered once left and a horseshoe bunker extending from the back to the right side.  The putting surface is set in a natural amphitheater in front of the clubhouse.

Lengthwise Preakness Hills plays from the back tees at 6600 yards, carrying a slope of 134.  The challenge at Preakness Hills isn't necessarily it's length but it's demand for accuracy on all strokes. The greens have subtle breaks that are not always obivious to most golfers.  Local knowlege is the key to success at Preakness Hills.
