Love this course!
We play Potomac Shores every time we are in the area visiting family. The staff are friendly and the starters we have met have been terrific. The course layout is challenging but not extremely tough. If we lived in the area, this would be the course we would join.

Monday round
Love this course but the greens were still a little bumpy from the aerification 7/10 days prior to be charging 95 in my opinion.
Rough was chunky as well...
Still beats a day at work.

Overpriced
Beautiful layout. Course was in great shape despite the aerated greens. Range has crappy mats to hit off of. Practice green is too small. Saw cart girl once in 18 holes. There is no turn, so you can’t get beverages at the clubhouse. No video screens in the carts. Great course but overpriced.

Interesting Layout
The course is in great condition. The one critique I have for the course condition is the second cut on the greens need better trimming; it was inconsistent and no defined borders around the greens. This course has no halfway house so you have to wait for the drink cart but there was only one out when I played so you could go over an hour without seeing it again. Make sure you grab what you need before heading out. This is not a course you can walk due to the layout. The holes are far apart from green to next tee for a lot of the holes, but I like it cause you aren’t bothered by others on either the teebox or green.

Expected Better
Perfect day to play golf. Course was in great shape but pace of play, not starting on time, not having some kind of snack or something at the turn. We only saw cart lady after the first 9 holes and didn't see her again. Probably won't play here again for the cost. Better values with just as good conditions are out there.
