Potomac Shores Golf Club

Great people here, great course, is in awesome shape.

The ride from green to tee's is long which sorta makes it a over 4 hour round...but really worth the experience.

Only thing that keeps this from being 5 star is its a more then 4 hour round …any holes are 1/4-1/2 mile in between green to tee. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice cool ride through shady trees but I just played a 4.5 hour round and wasn’t waiting and no one was waiting on us.

Staff is super nice. Beverage cart is well stocked.

Course is in nice shape. Not as much break as you may think on fairly nice quick greens.

We have always found this to be an elite course but not the day we played. The greens were about the worse I've played this year. They weren't cut and were crazy slow (very disappointing). They had received some rain two days earlier but everything was very dry yet we were not allowed to go off the cart path which made for a longer round. They had a small shotgun start in the morning but had no golfers go through for half an hour yet would not let us tee off the front. This has been traditionally one of our favorite courses but we may not go back. VERY SAD!

Course looks beautiful. Greens were punched/aerated 5-6 weeks ago. Still need to be dress with sand at least one more to even out the holes. Kind of disappointed the greens aren’t cut for at least 4/5 days and bumpy. Probably will play again sometime in June and hopefully the greens should be grown in and rolling true. Tee boxes and fairways are nice. Fringe around some greens will need another month to grow. Good track though.

Beware, this course is extremely challenging, even from the 5,790 tees. The holes look like they were designed by Picasso. There are deep bunkers; steep hills and ravines; heavy woods immediately off fairways; trees and bunkers in the middle of fairways; and small, elevated greens. Do not go near this course unless you are at least a 10 handicapper. It's unplayable, unfair and unenjoyable for the average golfer. I've played it twice and won't go back. Moreover, the conditions were not worth $70 weekday. Lots of bare spots and dirt patches around the greens. Other area public courses ar in much better shape at this point. Finally, the starter, while friendly and helpful, went on an unprovoked rant about how he thinks the Covid epidemic was overblown. Very inappropriate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Course was in good shape for this early in the season. Greens were very firm. Great layout.

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.

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.
