Potomac Shores Golf Club

The charges in elevation on this course is refreshing and adds a pleasant golfing experience.
Long par 4s and 5s. Keep your woods handy.
Nestled between the Potomac and a neighborhood.
The course was well planned as to not put a Weber grill in your slice path.
All and all a great course with well manicured greens and fairways.

This was the course we’d visit with friends on special occasions. Great staff, food and golf. We’ve seen it continue to fail in all levels the past few years and continue to visit, hoping they have brought on a new team to clean it up and be worthy of the Troon name. Or happening yet. To add this time, instead of having pre-round lunch as planned, we were told at the course that the restaurant was closed and they didn’t apologize or even offer simple snacks you could find on beverage cart - no food, no beverage cart and horrible hospitality. Love this course but don’t know if I’ll bother giving it another try at this point.

Course was in amazing shape for the winter season. Cart path only can suck, but it was not too bad on this course. Layout wise, it is solid overall, and there are some great holes, with 1, 7, and 8 being my personal favorites. Only criticism is that hole 17 needs a complete rework, a poor hole where it feels like they where trying to fit it in, no hole should have to have a buddy go ahead to show you where to aim and let you know where it lands when you hit the fairway off the tee. If they eliminate the blind shots and flatten that hole out some it'd be fine, and they have enough dirt around it to do just that.

The Zoysia grass was dormant in the fairways but like most Zoysia courses, it's nearly impossible to get a bad lie. The greens were a bit inconsistent for holding shots. Some of my well struck shots held, others didn't. For some strange reason the club owners have changed the starting and finishing holes since the last time I played the course (about 3 years ago). The starting hole is now half a mile from the club house and the same for the finishing hole. What used to be the 18th hole is now the 16th hole and what used to be the 1st hole is now the 17th hole. This is something I wasn't expecting and was disappointing. Otherwise, it was a nice experience.

Always a good course to play. Just was not informed that the greens had recently been areated.

Great course, friendly staff. A must play for the area!

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.

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.

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.

I recommend this course and play with my friends again
It’s very nice course
