    Let’s dive right into this and say that Potomac Shores Golf Club is absolutely AMAZING! My wife and I’s expectations were totally blown out of the water with the degree of professionalism and attention to detail that Todd, Brittney, Emily, Andrea and Eric provided us. Every meeting we had with them was exceptional and the process never had the feeling of just another business venture. Instead, it felt as if a group of great friends wanted to make my wife and I’s dream a reality. Todd, Brittney and Emily provided us FIRST CLASS customer service and it showed throughout the planning process to the very end of our send off. As soon as both my wife and I arrived on our big day, we felt like we owned the place as they met each of our needs. It was amazing how they managed to not just set up the ceremony, but also decorate the reception hall, work with the DJ’s to ensure that music was provided inside and out, making sure both bridal parties were totally catered to while waiting for the ceremony to begin, while also helping usher in our guests and usher in my bride. They were everywhere and making sure everything was taken care of. I literally couldn’t stop thanking them because I knew how special this day was for my wife. Our guests were so amazed at not only the beauty of the golf club but also the responsiveness and reception of all its staff. The food provided by Chef Eric, was absolutely STELLAR! Even after our tasting, we knew our reception dinner was going to be five-star quality. So many of our family members and friends could not stop complementing us about the food. They mentioned this surpassed the “typical” entrees provided during most other weddings and that they could not believe how amazing the taste was and the varieties that were provided. If you want to feel like a king and a queen, and you want first class service and food, you need to definitely give them a call!

    Potomac Shores Golf Club is the perfect wedding venue for any kind of wedding. The entire property is so versatile that we used each corner of the property for our big day - ceremony, photo shoot, cocktail hour, and reception. Each space was just as elegant as the next. Sales Manager, Kelsie Esser, made the entire process completely painless! Her entire staff was nice, efficient, and professional. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a timeless, classy, and elegant event. All 5 stars from me!

    Kelsie and her team were awesome to work with. Very accommodating! Great location for a corporate event, wedding or milestone event, etc. Look forward to working with the Potomac Shores team again in the near future.

    I don't even know where to begin to describe how wonderful everything was for our wedding at Potomac Shores Golf Club. We did both our ceremony and reception there. I should probably start with Kelsie. She is an amazing person and there is no way we could have had our perfect wedding without her. From the time we started the planning, she was very responsive to emails. She always had answers or suggestions for us. She took care of everything. Even with everything going on on the wedding day, she was always available, sometimes even before I knew I needed her! We received so many compliments on the food, service and beauty of the place. The food was excellent. We had a buffet meal with fried chicken, ribs, macaroni and cheese, green beans, etc. Everything was wonderful. The appetizers during cocktail hour were fantastic. Kelsie even made sure we got some while visiting with all of our guests. We definitely would like to go back for dinner. One of the best services that they provided was the setting up/breaking down of everything. As a bride, I can't tell you how nice it was to have everything set up just as I envisioned and not worry about running around the day of the wedding setting up cake displays, centerpieces, seating charts, etc.. If I'm to be totally honest, I think they even did a better job than I envisioned! I'm sure I'm overlooking something, so I'll just say that you won't be disappointed if you book your wedding with Potomac Shores Golf Club.

    Our group of retired Marines has been getting together for a dinner on the Marine Corps birthday for the last 14 years. Normally, we would find a Fredericksburg area restaurant for our event. However, in 2015 we tried something different by having a catered event in the Tidewater Grill at Potomac Shores. We selected three different entrees for the guests to choose from and every meal was fantastic, as was the facility and service. Despite the fact that most of the attendees had to travel from the Stafford/ Fredericksburg area, everyone insisted that we return in 2016. Once again, Kelsie took great care of us and everything was wonderful. We are already booked there for 2017!

    I can just say WOW AMAZING.... every tiny detail was dotted and crossed for our wedding and Kelsie had our backs and never missed a beat in helping set up for the most beautiful event ever. As the bride i was so ecstatic with how well put together everything was. Nothing went wrong with the reception at Potomac Shores which for most brides is unheard of. I never wondered or worried about a thing and knew Kelsie had my back every second. Not only was the service and event wonderful the food was amazing as well. Dont look any further brides. Potomac Shores is where you want to be.

    I highly recommend Potomac Shores Golf Club as a wedding venue. My son and daughter-in-law chose this location for their wedding rehearsal dinner. I am not in the area, but Kelsie Wallich, the event planner, helped me every step of the way through prompt phone calls and emails. The club house is beautiful with an amazing view. The buffet meal (Fennel Crusted Salmon with Lemon and Dill/Rosemary Pork Loin with Apricot Nutmeg Chutney) was absolutely delicious - fresh, hot and beautifully presented! (Compliments to the chef!) The service was spot-on! Everyone was pleased. Thanks to Kelsie for such a fine event and thanks to everyone from the Potomac Shores Golf Club who served on this occasion.

    We booked Potomac Shores for our rehearsal dinner and couldn't be happier! First off, the overall look and feel of the venue is great. We had a beautiful view of the golf course during sunset and we really enjoyed having the option to use the outdoor patio to hang out as well as the indoor restaurant for dinner.

    The catering manager, Kelsie, was very responsive and flexible with every choice we made leading up to the day. She had so many great recommendations and worked with us to customize the buffet menu. The event went smoothly thanks to all of the wonderful staff - we'll definitely be back in the future!

    Quantico/Woodbridge/Dumfries does not have a ton of options for a Rehearsal Dinner. When we found Tidewater Grill at Potomac Shores Golf Club we were beyond thrilled. This beautiful space serves as the club house for Potomac Shores Golf Club. It is honestly beautiful enough to hold a wedding ceremony inside of (or on the grounds of). Executive Chef Matt Blazey and his team prepared a delicious meal for us for our rehearsal dinner. Their team provided excellent service and I cannot recommend this venue enough! The clubhouse is charming, upscale, elegant, but yet inviting and comfortable. The crab cakes are delicious by the way, just as an aside. If you are going in for an initial meeting ask to speak with Janine. She could not be any sweeter and she was a true professional throughout our entire experience.

    My daughter got married at the beautiful Potomac Shores Golf Club on 15 July 2017. Our entire experience with Mrs. Kelsie Esser and the rest of the staff was outstanding! From the very beginning, Kelsie was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with planning the actual wedding ceremony and reception -- she helped make my daughter's dream wedding become a reality! We changed things at the last minute several times, but Kelsie accommodated us and made the changes without complaining and with a smile. Kelsie was extremely busy the day of the actual wedding, making sure everything went off without any glitches. After the wedding, I received numerous calls and texts from people saying that my daughter's was the most beautiful wedding they had ever atteneed and that the atmosphere and surroundings were absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend Potomac Shores Golf Club for a wedding, party, or any type of event. Working with Kelsie was a true delight!!

    This place is beautiful, fits 30-40 people with enough room to dance. The family style dining is beautiful along with all the candles, the food is amazing! It's a bit pricey but they have great packages for everyone! They have a great staff, an amazing chief, great bar tenders and the coordinator is so good at her job!!!! The fire pit is awesome, gives your gathering a special touch! A special thanks to everyone there that made our event amazing!

    We picked Potomac Shores with only a few months before our big day and ever since we called them, it was clear they were about making our day about us. Everything from food, to drinks, to set up, was all customized for us. Everyone from the event manager, chef, pro shop staff, and others were very helpful, outgoing, and made the whole reception great! The chef personally addressed us and our family to make sure the food was good... AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! Again, all the staff were so great and made us feel like royalty. Potomac Shores has plenty of picture opportunities, just not enough time in a day to get all the cool shots! It's secluded so you won't have to worry about many people around. There are many table arrangements and decoration items to choose from. If they don't have something you like, they will order something for you (you pay for it however).

    Being around DC, nothing is cheap, but you pay for what you get. You will not be disappointed here! We have zero complaints and you will to!

    Kelsie is superb! She'll work with you and provide fantastic advice to have a great reception. She's there throughout the event to ensure everything runs smoothly. The chicken wasn't as tasty as the prime rib--filling was a bit strange taste.

    Back in 2014, my husband and I booked Potomac Shores Golf Club for our October wedding. To be totally honest, our experience was not great initially. The Golf Club had only recently opened and they were definitely still working through their kinks. After going through a couple of different sales managers and being promised some things that the venue could not actually do for us, we were introduced to Potomac Shore's current Catering Sales Manager, Kelsie Wallich. Kelsie was a breath of fresh air to say the least. She was so organized, responsive, and always willing to do whatever she could to help make our day perfect. Their Chef, Matt Blazey, was equally as awesome and accommodated our requests for a menu customized to best suit our guests. In addition to the staff being great, although the venue is on the smaller side, it is beautiful, clean, and was perfect for our wedding of 100 guests. Ultimately, we highly recommend Potomac Shores Golf Club. Thanks so much to Kelsie, Matt, Patrick and the rest of the Potomac Shores team for helping to ensure our wedding day was perfect and everything we had dreamed of!

    It was very nice working with Kelsie and I'm sure it will not be the last. I will be telling all of my brides about the awesome crew at Potomac Shores Golf Club.
