Potomac Shores Golf Club

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.

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.

Nice, but the rough is patchy and you can get some iffy lies...

Great round of golf - definitely worth $70. Will play it again.

Played this course a year ago and had a great time. This time was not so fun. The course layout is fun enough, but the course was pretty beat up. Lots of mud spots and places in the rough with minimal grass. The real issue was the pace of play. We were only able to complete 15 holes in the 5 hours and 5 mins we played. I'm usually not a stickler for this, but it seemed to not be improve over the entire round. It would have taken us close to 6 hours to finish if we didn't run out of daylight.

Given the long drive to get their, the course condition and pace of play there is no way I could consider this course worth the cost. We may try it next year, but probably not because it takes forever to get there.

Definitely one of the top 3 courses in northern Virginia. With lush Bermuda fairways and stunning greens, it’s make this course stunning. Go play it.
