Can't wait for the renovations to be done
The course is under major construction to upgrade the driving range. This is affecting the 1st, 9th and part of the 18th holes. The big hope is that when they are done with the range, will they continue. The cart paths have been terrible for years, the sand traps need work and some landscaping could be done to make the course more attractive. But the price is right for how the course is currently and the greens and fairways are in good shape.
Nice
Always in great shape, love the layout & conditions it’s in. Great place to play 👍🏾
Best bet for the money
This is somewhat bias as I play here a lot but I have to say the course condition is the best it has been since I’ve been playing here (2 years) and it’s only getting better (kudos to the ground maintenance crew). You can’t beat the price especially if you get it on a “online price” through the app. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. If you never played here and are on the fence I would go for it. Greens are in very good shape, receptive and rolling at a medium to slightly fast pace. Yes there is construction going on but you’re not paying $100 for a round. You are getting a better value course than what you’re paying for.
What a mess
You have to walk about a quarter mile from the parking lot the the club house and there are no signs that help direct you at all. Then rather than grabbing a cart at the club house you have to walk all the way back to the parking lot. First 4 holes are right on top of each other and I almost got hit 4 times in 30 mins. I wouldn’t pay more than $25 bucks for 18 while construction is going on. I paid $65 for mid afternoon and it wasn’t worth close to that dollar. Go play renditions, compass point, or lake pres at the same time of day for cheaper
Construction underway
Regardless had a great time, beautiful course & great layout.
Nice people
The staff was very nice. It will be beautiful when construction done. Cart paths are very bumpy and gas carts are loud and smelly. Grass and greens were great. Got paired up with a tool who was teaching his guy friend how to play. That kind of sucked but I enjoyed the people and the course
Bowie
The course still has a lot of work going on. It’s been over a year.
Greens are slow
This course has always been a favorite. Beautiful and very picturesque.
Playing Bowie for many years have not been there for at least two years. Was overwhelmed by the work that it being done for the well needed driving range. Can’t wait for it to be finished and the course back to the serenity as it was before. Love it.
Cart Path and you are minus 3 holes that are half holes almost!
The course is being renovated and should not be charging full price . The greens were just aerated that should have automatic discount but that isn't the bad part.. Hole #1 is 2/3 of hole bc of driving range construction.. The fairways and tee boxes in bad condition compared to other courses in area. The greens are good but punched.
#9 is less than 200yds less than half the size when it was a par 5. Then on the back #18 has very little room for error bc landing area is rocks and trees and the driving range net reaches into the fairway's landing area..poorly designed ..Or if it's going to be renovated GIVE DISCOUNT !! At the clubhouse which is hard to get too bc of construction..
Great pace of play. Course under construction
Great price and course that is under construction. Great conditions and fast pace of play.
Up and coming course
They are putting money into the course and that’s all you can really ask for.
