Much Better

This is my 4th time playing this course and i can honestly say it's in the best shape I've seen for years. Right now it's out of season but it's still be pretty good shape considering the weather we've had. They have come a long way over the past 3-4yrs. Greens and fairways are in decent shape and the price can't be beat!

I'll play it again.

The course was wet so, expectantly, it was cart path only. Nevertheless, I was able to get out and play 18 holes. Wet conditions created challenges to playability. Nevertheless, I was able to get in 18 holes and because the level of difficulty of the course wasn't high, I enjoyed my round in spite of the wet conditions.

Bowie Upgrading

I've played this course about 20 times over the years. This time was a cool (upper 40s and sunny) day in early January and the course was fairly busy. The course was in good condition---especially the greens--considering heavy rain two days ago.

The front nine is flat, while the back nine is hillier with water coming into play on three holes. Its not a long track but fun to play. I walked and it took 3 hours to cover 18 holes and some 6.75 miles.

To me about $30-$35 is the right price to walk this course, which I am sure that I will play a couple of more times this year.

I did not rate the staff because I literally had no interactions with anyone!

Small green and lots of trees

First time playing this course on a Thursday afternoon. Course packed and very slow pace. The layout is old school with small greens, trees-lined rock hard fairways, and roughs are bare at places. The new management did put in new sand for the bunkers. No water on the course, and toilets are on a trailer. Cart path is dirt at most places, and full of potholes.

Still Fun but with a sidenote

Greens in good shape, fairways clean and manageable. Anything away from fairways you'll never find your ball due to all the leaves everywhere. Cart paths needs reworking as you'll end bouncing all around if you stay on them. Seem like with lower prices come the slow golfers. Never seen so many people searching for a lost ball as if it were made of gold. Please 2-3 minutes of searching and then drop. Just killed the pace of play today.
