Highly playable fairly priced

The greens are in good condition. Fairways and around the cart paths don't drain very well.

I love the course and staff.

Please, please please repave your cart paths

so players don't have to ride on the fairways.

Greens are in great shape IMO

This was my second time playing the course (and my second review).

The greens are in great shape and roll true. Now if we could only get people to repair their ball marks! Pet Peeve #1024.

The fairways and closely mown areas could use some work. Sometimes I had to roll the ball a little even in the fairway.

First Time Playing

Accommodating Staff, greens in good shape

This was my first time playing this hidden gem, I was paired with 3 ladies who were a blast to play with. We had fun!

I liked the layout and especially the drivable par4 on the back (I don’t remember which hole it is ~ 280 yards).

As I told my playing partners, this is going to become my go-to course in the area.

Bowie Golf

I enjoy playing at Bowie. The course is getting better, cart are pretty bumpy. The staff have removed several trees over the past couple years. That has improved the course & pase of play. Will definitely return.

First Time Playing

First time- would recommend

Played here for the first time. Course was in pretty good shape considering 2 days of rain. Pace was excellent. Staff was friendly. If you want to break into a new low score, play here. The layout is nice and the course is getable if you keep it in play. Even if you spray a few shots, it is not overly penalizing.
