Winter Golf.

Can’t beat it. Mid January snow on the ground and the course and greens were it great shape. Shout out to the Greens crew and staff. Great job. Wish they could get the bar area together and more enjoyable. Only bad thing at this facility.

Enjoyed the course

Would definitely return and play again!

The greens are very challenging to read and hold lines well.

From everyone that I talked to, this course is the lesser of the 2 courses. After playing both, it's just as good if not better. I think people may not have as good a time because the course is harder and makes you play a certain way. I like the Southwest much better than the Northeast.

Cart staff wasn’t very nice

The guy that checked me in was great. The two older guys assigning carts were kind of rude. The course was great. The signs from hole to hole needs some work. It’s like they think everyone knows the layout

Monday golf

Course and weather were great. Greens and fairways in great shape. Challenging course but a little pricey for a public course.

Compass Pointe a definite Play.

Extremely impressed with all aspects of this facility.

Since Indigo Partners are taking over Bowie this course Compass Pointe alleviates my concerns at BGC.

Time for a new green keeper.

Five hours and 15 minutes in the middle of the week is unacceptable. Very slow play. Greens were all beat up. This course needs either a new greens keeper, or they need to review his budget. Price was high for the condition of the course.

Greens need some love

I enjoyed playing here and still am a novice player but even I was aware of the poor condition of greens and many divets.

Really nice

Drove 21 minutes away from downtown Annapolis to this great course. Driving range, chipping green and putting practice was a great start to this round of Maryland golf. We were in town with one day for golf and this was a great spot. Would come back again for the beautiful layout and quality of fairways, tee boxes and greens. Does not get any better than this for this price!!
