Golf in Poolesville

Poolesville is Montgomery County's westernmost town, surrounded by the county's agricultural reserve in the river-bend formed by the Potomac's horseshoe curve between Seneca and Point of Rocks. The agricultural reserve program—which has permanently retired development rights on roughly a third of Montgomery County—has preserved Poolesville's farming community in a way unusual for a county synonymous with dense Washington suburbia. Four Streams Golf Club and Poolesville Golf Course both serve this protected landscape, providing recreational golf in an open, countryside setting that contrasts dramatically with the county's developed eastern corridors. The C&O Canal Towpath and the Potomac River recreation are accessible from town, reinforcing Poolesville's identity as an outdoor recreation community.
