BGC Kudos
Have played BGC for over 20 years. The course conditions are the best I have ever encountered. Noted significant improvement on the fairways, greens and bunkers. Staff does an excellent job on both the Pro Shop administration and course maintenance. Fairly priced for Bowie residents. Look forward playing frequently.
Coming Back
The course sustained tornado damage with trees down, there are some still down, but the course is coming back nicely - Greens looks amazing - a little slow but they are full and lush.
Good value, but you get what you pay for ...
No marshall out there to control pace of one foursome slowing the whole course down.
Bowie GC staff made our first outing great
Returned to the golf course after a 50 year hiatus with a first-timer so we had a lot of course etiquette to re-learn and get familiar with, and the Bowie GC staff was very helpful and understanding.
Very nice course
Need a marshal to keep up speed of play. We were behind two very slow foursomes
I am a big fan of Bowie. Nice layout, not too hard....good for seniors. But you have to something about the crabgrass next year. It is pretty bad right bow.
Cartpaths are terrible
If you enjoy bouncing around and running through potholes you'll like bowie other than that it's an excellent golf course
The course is great - the amenities not so much.
We like Bowie because it is close to home - nice course with some challenges. The course itself is in great shape. But:
* Bathroom facilities were awful - for 5 years now there has been a trailer behind the clubhouse with a men’s room, a women’s room, and a family room - yesterday two of those three were out of order - women had to use the mens’ room and it was FILTHY. We finally got the staff to agree to let us. use the one indoor bathroom reserved for staff, but we had to ask for the clubhouse to be unlocked so we could get in.
* food - the grill was closed
Food is less of an issue, but the bathroom situation was completely unacceptable - staff claimed that the City of Bowie (which owns the course) was aware and was awaiting parts - seem to me that the trailer should have been hauled out and replaced.
As I said, we like Bowie but not sure we would go back until these issues are addressed.
Bowie Golf Course Review 9/21/22
Have played for several years and the new Management Team (INDIGO) has significantly improved the Course playing conditions. Noted Storm damage is to be removed in the late Fall.
