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.

Slowwwwwww Greens

They greens look great but are too slow for competent golf. Probably no rolled. If they are, then they need to be cut lower.

Good to go

Course is challenging yet yardage under 6000 from whires.

Like most courses, no warer but nice cart lady.

Sandwich shop usually closed, well at least on Sundays..

Nice course though.

Don't waste your money

Tee boxes and fairways need a lot of work. There are many downed trees that need to be removed. The cart path is horrible. Definitely need a more friendlier starter.

Save your money and play the another course. Will not be returning here.

Excellent value...

I've lived in the area and never played the course until now. The course layout is great, especially the back 9. The front 9 is the warm-up. Conditions are fair at bests. Tee boxes are terrible and the cart paths are non-existent at times. But the fairways and greens are in good condition. Greens were firm and rolled fair. Not too fast, not too slow. The course overall could be a bit longer, but for $45 on a Saturday, like the title says, excellent value for the money.
