The resident fee

For some reason, the staff charged me non resident fee even though I live in Bowie. He said something about the the city district I live in is not considered "in Bowie". The website makes no such specifications so I feel cheated.

Some real improvements.

The course is in great shape, especially the greens, Some bunkers could use some work and better sand.

The driving range stations really need some work. The putting green was fine.

They still have the portable bathrooms, but they were clean.

I really look forward to a new clubhouse but I suspect that is years away.

That said, I do recommend a round here. Very pleasant!

Much Improved BGC

Noted many improvements especially the greens, tee boxes, bunkers and fairways..Play regularly here and see all the changes each round. Room for improvements include the cart paths and drinking water made available.
Great price for Bowie residents & non residents.

Ok course

The course was ok, enjoyed playing there. I would recommend they get a course ranger monitoring the pace of play. Very bad. Got stuck behind a foresome that probably took 30 minutes per hole. Everyone on the course decided to skip a hole and just pass them because they didn’t offer anyone to play thru. Just terrible

Glad to see the ball washers back. The greens were in tough shape with tire marks down to the dirt on some.
The dashboards of the cart were a mess like last time, but the seating area was clean this time.
Am looking forward to when the cart paths are redone, they are in awful shape.

Good course for the price

This was a good course for the price. Not too crowded the day we played and we were able to maintain a nice pace of play. My one critique is that we played at 8:24am and most of the trash cans on the course were full of bottles/trash meaning the staff did not empty them that morning. This didn’t help the overall experience. Would recommend.
