Bowring park

Greens and fairways in good condition, bunkers were awful, the staff need to get out and sort them as they were rock hard, more next hole signs required as well as we got lost twice.

Overall a good game of golf on a really nice course

Ideal for a mid to high handicap golfer. This is a well kept municipal golf clurss. No frills. Signage around the course could be improved. It is good value for money, but don't expect pristine tee boxes, or greens. The greens are good, a little slow maybe, but this course has no pretentio ns to be anything other than a good venue for you and your mates to have a quick Saturday morning game before the footy. Don't expect a bar, there isn't even a pro shop, but what do you expect for less than £20.

Great condition

Wasn’t expecting much for £16 on a Saturday morning but what a pleasant surprise. Fairways were lovely and the greens in amazing condition. Some lovely holes. Lots of fairway and green side bunkers making you think about positioning. Great for high/mid handicaps. Would think the low ones might find it a bit to easy

Fairways

Tee'd off 8.03 not a soul in sight, millionaire's golf. First four holes in the best nick I've seen, fairways mown, greens the best ever. Unfortunately crossed the bridge and the greens still in great condition, I couldn't say the same about the fairways, I couldn't distinguish fairway from the second cut. Come on Bowring get this sorted as was a real let down. For the price I can't knock it to much.

Great course, poor council

Green staff working as hard as they can to get the course to a decent condition without help from local council. Such great potential if it got given to someone who cared.

Such A Pleasure -Tony D

For so early in the season the entire course was in nice order.

The greens putted well and smoothly so.

Our Friendly Golf Society all remarked how very playable the entire course was from start to finish.

There are some areas requiring attention here and there.

However at just £16 for midweek (plus concessions) this course really has come on leaps and bounds from the sorry state it was subjected to only a few years back.

At this rate of improvement its popularity will return and justifiably so.

Congratulations to the entire staff crew for their dedicated efforts.

Our Society will happily return before long.
