Penderbrook Golf Club
Played On 09/26/2020Good course, lousy pace of play
Good layout, with some well maintained greens. Fairways were in pretty rough shape in spots, but that doesn’t matter to me as much. Greens were excellent. Pace of play was abysmal. Our foursome waited on every single shot, and two of us were walking. Another course trying to pack in tee times at the expense of pace of play. Took us over two hours to finish 7 holes, which is where I stopped.
Potomac Shores Golf Club
Played On 09/03/2018Good experience, but painfully modern
The experience of golfing at Potomac Shores is excellent. Clubhouse is beautiful, staff is friendly and helpful, and the practice area is excellent. If these are the things you care about while golfing, you will not be disappointed.
The course itself is a mixed bag. There are certain holes that are interesting. Nicklaus uses angles and hazards to provide a strategically interesting test. I particularly liked the par 5 10th hole, which provides multiple routes to approach the hole location.
However, this is not a golf course. These are 18 individual holes on the same property, with nothing connecting them While this is common on modern courses, it leads to a painful experience, especially in terms of pace of play and overall enjoyment.
Conditions were pretty good, although the new bermuda fairways are still maturing, and were akin to playing from the second cut of rough.
An unwalkable course like this will never be my cup of tee, but the individual holes are good enough to justify the relatively high cost to play.
We really appreciate your great feedback about our course. We are glad to see you had a good time, and we will use your feedback to implement changes to ensure we continue to uphold a great golfing experience.
