Bowie Golf Club

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.

Always a great deal and good layout. Fairways and greens in nice shape.

Great course, moderately priced. Better food and beverage selection would be nice. :)

Course is in Great shape for this early in the season. The greens are much faster than in the past. A lot of good work going on cutting down trees.

I had sent a review in to this site I think on 27 April but may have done something wrong whereby it didn't go through. Yes...I played "Bowie" golf course on 25 April 2023 and teed off @ 0748 hrs., the weather was cool by every nice and clear. I thought the course was in very good shape and the my "sign-in" guys was very nice and helpful. I had no issues with the staff or with the course itself but with some individuals on the course -> some by-the-way stated that they were employees of Bowie. I was sent a review request directly from Bowie on my experience to which I responded the following, I have never heard anything back. So... please find below what I sent, am I upset...no at all just disappointed. Would I ever play at Bowie again -> Maybe.

Review sent to Bowie on 26 April 2023:

Good morning,

I thought I’d drop you a quick note…First of all, I thought the course was very nice and well maintained. However, as me and the other 3 persons in my foursome were playing around the 3rd or 4th hole, a set of individuals sped up to us and yelled to and at us concerning the cart path rules -> fair enough and we apologized and stated this was out 1st time playing at Bowie, then a statement was made to us -> “look this is not an all-day event, speed up, I can assure you that we were in no way delaying play. We are also told by these two individuals that they were employees and had every right to tell us what they wanted-> they may have been, but they were playing a round. Later, we had a cart of folks tell us we were cutting in front of them, again in an argumentative way and stating that they were members of the course, I can fully assure you that we completely followed hole for hole and in order. Lastly, at hole 10 and 13 where they are close in tee off areas -> yet another group of players came speeding up stating we were breaking up their team game. One of the individuals was aggressive enough that we thought there may be a hands-on situation. Eventually I think some of the other players figured out their error. Mistakes happen and we understood that, but I must tell you the treatment we received was totally unbelievable. I’ve played golf for over 30 years and on many courses and I’ve never ever seen such treatment. I invited the 3 police officers that were in my foursome, and I was embarrassed and disappointed. In closing, pointing a finger at anyone does nothing, I simply wanted you to know what our feelings were and the experience we had.

Below you will find the review I sent directly to "Bowie Golf Course" after being asked what my thoughts were. I must say the course was fine and, in my opinion, well maintained and the staff member that checked me in was awesome and had no issues here, but issues came out on the course itself. Fully understanding things happen and people are people -> this was my experience first time playing at Bowie. .
