TPC Potomac
Set in 220 acres of rolling woodland within a sizeable residential property, the course at TPC Potomac underwent a recent renovation that cost in excess of twenty million dollars. It’s now a longer, tougher test for amateur and professional players alike.
The TPC Potomac course has hosted many PGA Tour events, starting with the Kemper Open back in 1987 when the venue was known as TPC at Avenal. After the Booz Allen Classic was staged in 2006, major renovation work took place which relieved the course of its hosting duties for a few years.
The old par five 6th was changed to a long par four, the par three 9th was rebuilt and the old 10th and 11th holes were combined into a new par five 10th, playing around the restored creek. The former 12th became the new 11th and the old par five 13th was replaced with a new, uphill par three 12th and a short par four 13th.
The course then held the Senior Players Championship in 2010, followed by a couple of Web.com events in 2012 and 2013. After further modifications were made in 2015 (to alter the greens on the 7th, 13th and 16th, widen the fairways on the 5th and 6th, and create more recovery options around the greens on the 3rd, 4th and 18th) the course hosted two editions of the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour in 2017 and 2018.
