Potomac Shores Golf Club

Course was in great shape, worth the money. Difficult and very sloped course, extremely fun. Highly suggest bringing more balls than normal!

Overall a nice layout. Rolling hills with lots of elevation changes. Greens and fairways were in good shape but the green surrounds were in very rough condition. Lots of bare spots and weeds. Not anything that can be remedied in a short amount of time.

This course is perfect. Tee boxes,fairways and greens are in excellent condition. I will play this course again when I’m driving up north again.

Played on a Tuesday morning with two other guys. Pace of play was excellent. We never saw another group and finished in under 4 hours. Course was in excellent condition. Greens were quick and rolling well. Odd routing doesn't bring you back by the clubhouse until after #16. Drinking water is only available at the two on-course bathrooms so bring extra water.

I recommend this course and play with my friends again

It’s very nice course

course is tough and great condition, staff and lack of amenities makes it not worth it. slow play and no food or drink. skip it

Didn’t play well at all but this place is fantastic, I’ll be back as soon as my game improves!

Not the best for beginners but one of the nicest courses I’ve seen in person and on TV. Must play in the area but stock up on ice and drinks if it’s a hot day

First tee time of the day, so pace of play was no issue. Lots of blind and challenging shots especially off the tee. Usually hitting over a bunker. Course is in good shape and trees help protect it from any wind that’s in the area.

First time playing Potomac Shores. Great layout, with massive elevation changes second only to Devils Knob. The rough was penal, as it should be, with very challenging pin positions defending scoring. It would’ve been nice to have a hotdog at the turn, but no hot food available on a Monday.

Love the course. Amenities are almost nonexistent. No on course beverages, no shack or cart. No gps in the cart. Range is fair. No chipping and average putting green. The grille is very good.

This course is in great shape and a fun layout. The main issues they have are the beverage cart is very sporadic/slow and it’s always cart path only. If there’s even a tenth of an inch of rain within a couple days of your tee time, “cart path only”. This course does not hold water, in fact every time I’ve played the fairways are good but the green are rock hard, so it shouldn’t always be cart path only.

Also the last 3 times I’ve gone out, I’ve first seen a beverage cart on Hole 15, Hole 1 (when we didn’t need anything and never saw them again) and hole 9.

Again, great track but expect cart path only if it’s rained even once in the last 3 months and load up on beverages and whatever at the clubhouse before you go out.

Best conditioned course for the price, and it's not even close. Quality from tee to green. Bunkers, rough, you name it. Not a single complaint. Views were very pretty, but it being my first time I definitely didn't know some of the lines. Any approach level with the green is ideal, as there as pretty steep hills on almost every hole protecting the green. I would say green speed was the only thing that could be a little better, but they're almost fully back after being aerated so they should be rolling at at least a 10 in a week or two (probably a 7-8 today).

A hilly course with dramatic elevation changes, sharp doglegs and several blind shots. With all the peaks and valleys it's easy to get great views, so there's lots of places for photo opps. Also, the course is well-maintained (which it should be for the price), and I would say conditions were excellent even though when I played the fairways and tee boxes still hadn't fully healed from aeration. The only thing impairing the beauty of the course is the rows and rows of townhouses that border many of the holes.

The terrain variation adds to what's difficult about the layout - lots of uneven lies and the possibility that your ball will be lost down a ravine if it takes a bad bounce. Also challenging are the small greens on several holes and the abundance of sand traps. But being in the bunkers reinforced to me the quality of the course; they were full of fluffy sand, no skimping. Small greens, generous bunkering and uneven lies make approach shots intimidating, especially from long distance; from the fairway it's hard to know the right place to miss, so course knowledge will definitely help lower your score.

All-in-all a real treat, but I think you need to be fresh and alert - it's a track that can beat you up and frustrate you, especially if you're tired, or if it's 95 degrees and humid.

Pro shop was limited in apparel. I normally like to get a poker chip or something from every course I play at and sadly they had nothing close to that.

There is a beautiful grass driving range, but for some reason we were on the mats. The mat quality was poor. Grass growing through, unkept, looked like they hadn’t replaced them since putting them in.

Other than that, the fairways were some of the purest I’ve ever played. The tee boxes were fantastic. The greens had been punched maybe 2-3 weeks before we played so they were still scared.

The layout and course design is just fantastic. Every hole makes you think and demands the use of all the clubs. Every hole is unique and the par 3s were challenging and scenic. The nice thing is the distance between the holes and the length of each hole kept the pace of play up. It could have been faster without the slow group in front of us but it took 4.5 hours.

Carts didn’t have gps or any frill. Pretty basic. Beverage cart was out the whole time and we were visited 3 times.

Would like to go back in the fall.

Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Being our first time, they pointed us in all the right directions and even gave me the proper discount with my junior golf. Had a blast!!

Course was in good shape considering how hot and dry it’s been.
