Back and Better than Before
I have played this course for many years. A recent management change has resulted in some very nice improvements. Adjustments have been made to how the greens are maintained and cut. The greens known locally as the slowest around, are rolling out in a manner I have never seen here in 30 years of play.
The fairways and such still show the impact of many years without a manageable irrigations system.
Many of the former employees have been retained. The new management team led by "TJ" are making improvements as they can. Recently rented a bunch of newer carts, several "annoyance and poorly maintained bunkers" are being removed and should improve an already decent pace of play.
The course is what it is - a semi-private/semi-muni community golf course. I recommend it for anyone who just want to play a fun round of golf.
Need cold refreshment
I suggest to putting a refrigerator , cooler or cold drink machine in the pro shop to sell water or gaterade
Relaxing Round
Relaxing round. Course improvements noted - ball washers installed. Not perfect, but a good course and great value close by my home.
It’s only April!
First round of the year in Massachusetts….visiting family. Course relatively close to them so we booked. Staff very friendly. Course needs to be cleaned up, taken care of but it is “early”. Cart paths horrible….staff very friendly. Driving range is hitting off mats…staff very friendly!
Course and amenities
Course is great for the price. Very player friendly with not many penalty areas to be concerned with Could use a restaurant that is open. Has been closed for 6 months and has no drinks available on course.
Very good condition , considering the weather we have been having
I played with the Bowie seniors before the ownership changed for 15 years. I enjoyed being back. Sorry Bowie was unable to find a way for the seniors to continue the league..
Needs lots of little things
Around some of the tee boxes the weeds and shrubbery was overgrown and intruding into the walkway and tee box.
No divot repair shakers for the carts
Ball washers didn’t have water or soap
Cart paths when/where available are in desperate need for repair/overhaul
Cut down trees are left for nature to deal with instead of being hauled away
Great for getting the rust off
I hadn't played a full round of golf in years, so I was looking for a course that wouldn't completely punish me as I got back into the swing of things. Bowie is an affordable round of golf without too many hazards (likely saving me a sleeve of balls at the very least). I'll be back again soon to keep making progress on my game.
