Editor's Note: Course closed for business.

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Potomac Ridge. With a location that is easily accessible from Alexandria, DC, Annapolis and Prince George's and Charles Counties, the course is one of southern Maryland's most popular golf destinations. It's also just a few minutes from National Harbor. The holes are divided into the Hollow, Meadow, and Ridge nines. The Hollow and Meadow Courses were the original 18 holes from when it first opened as Southview Golf Course in 1996. The two nines were designed by Tom Clark while the Ridge nine, added in 2003, was designed by Tom Walker. The Meadows nine is the shortest of the three and it's player friendly enough for players of all skill levels. There are still some challenges in store though in the form of subtle but tricky elevation changes and stands of tall trees.

Great variety in the design

Marshals need to speed up slow groups. Our round of golf was 5 1/2 hours because of one slow foursome 3 groups ahead of us.

Didn't like having to tee off into the rough 15 out o f 18 holes. If you have a bad tee shot, you lose your ball instantly. Definiitely not a course for beginner golfers!
