“We are thrilled to be working with SunCal and look forward to many years of providing a world-class golf experience to residents and visitors alike,” said John Easterbrook, executive vice president, operations, Troon. “Troon-managed properties have built a reputation of delivering the finest playing surfaces, incredible guest service and exquisite dining, and that is exactly what they will experience at Potomac Shores Golf Club.”
Potomac Shores boasts a par 72 layout that stretches to 7,082 yards from the back tees and unfolds throughout 2,000 acres of rugged, natural landscape. The golf course is highlighted by dramatic elevation changes, wide playing corridors and green complexes that maneuver through hardwood forests along the banks of the Potomac River. When asked about the project, Jack Nicklaus said, “Potomac Shores is a masterpiece. The vistas are great. The challenges are great. The ‘ooh factor’ is there and the ‘wow factor’ is there.”
“With Potomac Shores offering a truly unique and luxurious Jack Nicklaus Signature Design, it made perfect sense to support that experience with the leaders in the golf industry – Troon,” said Peter Johnson, SunCal corporate vice president, development. “Residents of the Potomac Shores community deserve the best possible golf experience we can provide and we know that Troon will deliver that experience day in and day out.”
