So Many Leaves!

Don't get attached to your golf ball this time of year! There were so many leaves that even your good shot often wound up a lost ball. But, the greens were in great shape!

goose droppings and no water

goose droppings on 11,13,and 18 made it tough to putt. had to move my ball on 18 to get an open space to putt at the hole. it was 68 degrees out there and the water container on 17 was empty. gotta do better than that. i told the young man in the pro shop about the droppings and he was indifferent.

Greens were immaculate

This was my second time playing the course in 4 weeks. The greens were perfect. Overall the course was in good condition. Front and Back 9 play completely different. Front 9 wide fairways and back 9 tight narrow fairways. Overall Challenging and enjoyable.

Terrible

Staff was not friendly, rushed us even on a perfect pace of play. Course conditions are also terrible the only good holes were the first and last. Everything in between was terrible with bad fairways. Would not recommend this course to anyone.

Tight but fair course

The course has narrow fairways and unkept bunkers but greens are in great shape and course is a great value for the money. Easy to walk as no hills and short distance to next tee. Played the blue tees which were only 6000 yards in total. Would play it again.

Still good even though they’re closing

The course is still up kept as the crew that takes care of it find pride in the course. The unfortunate part is it is closing for good next September. The course is still fun to play even though the par 5 third hole is now a par 3 due to the city doing construction. The fact that it is still enjoyable is what matters. I’d say go play it as much as possible before it closes for good.

Very poor conditions. Cart paths are in bad shape, greens slow, construction on the course with no warning, grass trimming sporadic.

Surprised

I haven't played Bow Creek in awhile because of the poor conditions, but wanted to play 1 last time before they closed. I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent conditions. Fairways and greens were in amazing shape. Will definitely be back as I found out that they WILL NOT be closing until next year

Great Municipal Course

Played the back 9, which is in great condition and just challenging enough to keep you coming back. Unfortunately, the snack bar is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
