Golf review
Great value for money, decent course, well maintained.
Wild West Golf
Tried to play this course a couple of weeks ago but 14 people waiting on the 1st tee. I looked on this as a one off and tried to play again, big wait on the 1st tee again, when I tried to explain to a 3 ball that my tee time was next an aggressive guy said he was a member and members take preference, I asked what his tee time actually was and he said members don't need a tee time that can play when they want,
When I tried to explain to him that everyone has a tee time or the pro shop would not be able to have any control he again stayed this is not the case st Bowring Park, I then ignored his latent aggression to declare that every golf course has defined tee times, later his playing partner admitted their tee time was 10 minutes after me. Other than this pathetic member people playing with no shirts on. 3 players playing from one bag a 5 balls all was good, not.
Amazing course
Fantastic municipal golf course. Fantastic prices and course conditions. Some amazing holes with great scenery. Well worth a visit for a round and a post round pint at the coach house on site
Value for money
Course in good order, tees need moving/looking at. Greens fast, fairways cut nicely. More signs needed. Enjoyed the round. Will go back at some point.
Course in great condition
Course is in lovely condition at the minute. Only thing that let it down was the speed of play. Waiting at every tee for about 5 or 10 minutes. Stuck behind a five ball that wouldn't let others through. Apart from that one let down the course was great. Couldn't also definitely do with some rakes in the bunkers. Think we saw two rakes on all 18 holes.
Nice course to play after a short break
Nice little course. It’s slightly shorter than majority I’ve played at. Is idle if you want to get a quick round in or not played in a while and coming back from a break or even first round as a new player. Nothing to dangerous, bunkers arnt to hard and only 1 or 2 water hazards what I remember. I didn’t loose many balls as the course is well maintained, roughs are at worst only moderate. Greens arnt great but fair. Well worth playing and paying for in my experience 👍
Great Progress
The course is improving well. The results of the recent work on the bunkers is plain to see but more work still needed. The value for money at this course is excellent.
Wigan golfers
Not a bad course which I’d play again friendly staff,greens not great but not too bad for municipal course good layout 👍🏻
Cracking course
Decent course well maintained. Good features, course playing well even after heavy rain.
Very pleasant parkland course
Really enjoyed a twilight round here. The greens had been treated so were a bit slower than normal I imagine. Still very true though and consistent.
Some well placed bunkers and trees make the challenge more enjoyable. Would recommend
Monday 26th
Always enjoy Bowring Park.
Really good course for the price and decent availability. Some difficult holes. Some easy so really good overall
Played twice this year and back next week
Almost Great
Lots of positives, course looks great and so much effort has gone into it.
Only downside is there is so much cut grass everywhere which has been left to die. I lost 6 balls which I can only assume are under cut grass, fairways too. If the grass has of been raked it would have been faultless.
Course should have been closed
Course remained open even though it was unplayable and have to leave course after a few holes. No refund was given.
Disgrace
This course has so much potential but they just dont put any effort into it.
- Most of the greens are in poor condition
- The bunkers are overgrown with weeds
- The fairways are a disgrace, the length of the grass was equal to that of the rough.
- tee boxes have no grass on them.
I wouldnt even pay £10 to play here again, its just not worth it
Dog muck on the first Tee
Dog muck on the first Tee then got slowed up by people sneaking on at the 9 Tee not enough tables outside for an after drink game shame as the rest of the course was ok
