Not in good condition

I played the course with a friend. We were both disappointed. The course layout was ackward and the aerated greens were terrible to putt on.

Extremely Disappointing

Played this when it opened, such a shame the condition it's in now. Course is terrible with no marshals to speed up play. 5 hour and 30 minutes plus round. 8 to 10 minutes each hole. Played well, least fun I've had on a couse in a long time.

Favorite Course in this area

I have played this course many times. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. My wife and I went to the Tidewater Grill for lunch prior to our tee time. The food, drinks and service was amazing! Highly recommend this place to eat, even if you don't have a tee time.

Very Disappointed .. Jack Nicklaus needs to make another trip out to Woodbridge, VA.

I like Jack Nicklaus designed courses and I would go anywhere to play it .. but over here in Woodbridge, VA

Potomac Shores is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. For the past 2 years. the Entire course was a Cart Path Only because from what I was told by the people who works at the course have told me that they have redone the fairways, bunkers, roughs, etc.., my goodness, I played there with my buddy and the course looked better before the ‘supposedly a renovation’ .. I thought the whole ideal of going c.p.o (cart path only) for the past 2 years was to bring back the course in a top notch shape, but from our recent experience, we really can’t see this golf course getting any better than what it is now .. it’s a shame because I have recently played at a course such as Whiskey Creek, Laurel Hill and Stonewall, to name a few, and those courses conditions were far lot better than Potomac Shores. This is a such a nice layout course, but I can’t see myself going back there and play at a cost of $60 ~ $90 range. Absolutely Not.

I’ll pass next time.

Poor conditions, greens had just been sanded and aired but that wasn’t the problem.

The whole course was just a lot of weeds. Way too expensive for the conditions. Definitely paying for the name.

Very Nice

The course is very nice and very very challenging. For such a nice course, it lack yardage markers!! Playing cart path only and carrying multiple clubs and not knowing what to hit was irritating.

Strange in many ways

First, the course has a good layout and potential. But the day was strange from the beginning: no signs on where the pro shop is, etc. The grill was by reservation only, so no place to eat. And even the signage on the course was odd: no markers on the holes with yardages and small signs telling you where the practice and first hole are located. Even the score card and yardage book were from before the course was reordered! Fee was $60 for a round, so you’d expect a little more from the facility. Starter was nice and directed us, but the course needs an overhaul in management and pro shop staff.

Hidden gem

I normally play the Ocean City courses near Berlin MD. Played this course and totally a must play again. The track is nice even with the shift in playing holes gives your GPS a run for its money, but its really an awesome course to play.
