Designed by the legendary Greg Norman, the “Great White Shark”, the Norman Course incorporates the natural undulations of the Potomac River Valley, meandering along the Potomac River. The rolling landscape of the 7,332-yard par-72 course winds through mature hardwood forest and along rock outcroppings. Those natural elements combine with historic sites on the 3rd and 4th holes to form the course’s distinct character using Norman’s “Least Disturbance Approach” to design.
The front nine begins west along the Potomac River towards Goose Creek, four holes of which (No. 6 through No. 9) measure exactly 1,760 yards – equal to one mile – creating, according to Norman, “the hardest mile in golf.” The back nine returns east along the river to the par-5 18th. A challenging finishing hole that measures just shy of 600 yards from the back tees.
Capable of hosting championship competition, the Norman Course remains enjoyable for everyday golfers, with tees that fit a multitude of skill levels – including the memorable “island tees’’ on the par-4, first hole.
Golf Magazine named The Norman Course one of the “Top 10 New Courses You Can Play” in December 2005. It remains today one of the “Top 20 Greg Norman Courses You Can Play” (Links Magazine – May 2010).
