About Potomac Shores Golf Club
Potomac Shores Golf Club opened in May 2014 in Dumfries, Virginia, as the first Jack Nicklaus Signature course in the Washington, D.C. metro area open to public play.
The layout comes from Nicklaus Design, the firm founded by Jack Nicklaus, which works to enhance a site's natural setting and to build courses that test stronger players while remaining playable for golfers of all abilities.
