Bowring Park Golf Course

First time playing, and having not played for a long time, this was a quite forgiving and open course to play. There were other players in front and behind but we didn’t feel pressured to speed up or slow, and the layout of the course, despite being split by the motorway, allowed us to keep consistent. It was difficult to identify the first tee due to no marker post but once off we were able to follow fine! Great course and fantastically maintained! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a good, well kept course.

Couldn’t fault anything the course is in the best shape it has ever been in in my opinion highly recommend

First time I had played Bowring Park and it was what it is - a municipal golf course! Guy on the front desk was friendly and helpful, a few we bumped into around the course who had played there before were friendly too - a few others were clearly jumping on to play and maybe etiquette on holes wasn't quite what you'd expect elsewhere (maybe a bit snobbish to say that!)

Course layout was fine and some good holes - it had a few testing par 4s with water and you had to think about where to put your tee shot.

Could have been better condition - fairways hadn't been mowed so not much distinction to the rough. Greens weren't great with bare patches, etc but passable (again with it being a municipal) as the ball rolled okay. Tee boxes okay but bunkers more like weed bowls (luckily I didn't go in one!)

I'd play there again for £12 but Allerton Manor shows what a muni can become if you put a bit of money and effort into it.

Always liked this golf course but unfortunately through lack of funds and effort it's just getting by .the greens are patchy and the fairways hadn't been cut .shame really could be a nice course.the other thing they could do is stop the free golf after the office has closed.

Decent front 9, then back 9 feels repetitive for 4-5 holes. Reminds me of Mersey Valley Golf Course standard wise. Good value for money though, they seem to be enhancing it a lot plans wise.

Played at bowring for years so nice to see some money going into the facilities with a nice new car park. Clubhouse looks to have been renovated but obviously closed right now.

Course itself is in need of some TLC, many of the bunkers need new sand, like playing off concrete. Some of the fairways need work too, the first sticks out in my mind, was hard to tell where the fairway ended and the 1st cut of rough started. Could still be getting back to normal post lockdown.

Great value course bro to difficult not too long all holes really condition Only downside a few dog walkers around the place but all good.

Course in poor condition grass not been cut , greens in a shocking state ever single litter bin was over flowing and even litter on the grass they charged £18 which is steep for what they provided NOT RECOMMENDED ..

Fairway was like 1st cut of rough and the greens were appalling all the way around. Luckily we only paid £12 but in all honesty it wasn't worth that. Usually this course is excellent value for money

Very dry and slightly under managed with fairways and greens a little patchy, but this was their first day of opening after coronanonsense , so great credit to them.

Layout is strange with missing signs for tees, markers directions and long walks to tees past other tees which I found difficult...however I did manage to inadvertently play 21 holes for the price of 18!

Enjoyed except for last few holes where held back in a chain of delays due to complete beginners a few groups in front whom couldn’t play or understand the rudiments of course etiquette...suppose you have to accept that on a Muni.

Small reception with a soft drinks fridge, otherwise no facilities, which seem under construction.

I have played this course a few times and it’s always in decent condition.

Nice variety of holes and a decent test and good value.

Played a 3 ball in very wet conditions, on arrival got changed in the car as a new clubhouse is being built, informed staff we were there, they are very helpful and explained parts of the course are in bad condition due to ongoing drainage work. Started the game and found fairway grass quite long, probably due to the weather, most bunkers were full of water, fallen leaves everywhere, even on greens, hate this time of year were the trees shed everything. Greens very wet and held water so made putting very difficult. Parts of the course so wet you sank while lining up to take a shot. It`s good to see that it`s obvious that major work is going on around the course so when the better weather comes back the course will be better placed to withstand the poor weather this time next year. Will continue to use this course as they are trying to improve it, it`s in a good location, it has some challenging holes and the staff are very helpful and pleasant.

Quick round as not many players out, fairways a bit overgrown, bunkers not maintained, greens ok. No clubhouse/locker room so got changed in car. Cheap price made things a bit better.

all in all its an average experience. Fairways not properly mowed. Bunkers often overgrown with grass. Greens are ok. Overall experience is average

Excellent course , friendly staff , id say it's as good as royal Liverpool, fairways and greens in beautiful condition will definitely be back had my best round here 84 well done me, my brother still beat me though with an 83. Be back soon

Staff very friendly on arrival, course in very good condition, easy enough for us average players but narrow at times to challenge the better players, downside is no clubhouse at the moment but as soon as you arrive you can see the building work going on, will defo continue to use the fantastic course.

Good course and challenging for a municipal golf course

A lot of building work going on to improve the facilities and about time will return
