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.
We play every Sunday morning
Would like set permanent tee time instead of having to stay up till 12 :01 am Sunday morning to get the following Sunday’s Tee Time.

Moderately priced, reasonable condition, challenging but not overly difficult for us hackers
Improvements on the way
First time playing since the changeover, and expectations were not high. The bunkers were raked and the greens were in good shape and faster than they have been. Looks like they are making efforts for sure. It would have been nice to have some form of food service, or at least notification that there would not be anything available. Understood that the clubhouse and facility needs the renovations that they are (I assume) doing. Communication of the downtime would have made up for it. I will definitely go back however.

No pro shop. No snack bar. One non-attached bathroom. Course under new management. Needs Bowie money to make improvements. Course itself was quite playable
City Delaying Improvements to Close the Golf or Incompetent course management
Where to start...the course is in very, very, very poor condition, the tee boxes are non-existent, the tee markers are to the side of the tee boxes placed in the bad grass. The fairways are marginal, the bunkers are nothing but compacted sand and weeds to the point of failure. The greens, multiple types of grass and weeds dominate the greens. Now, the course management has decided there should be (15) minutes between each players start and the marshal goes up, in sight of the first green, and will not let the next group tee off until the group ahead leaves the green...Ridiculous! So when you make the turn, guess what, no concession open, no, food, no drinks, (alcohol or otherwise). The current management even decided not to install vending machines to help out the golfers during the interim when they have no liquor license. A catastrophe is taking place at the Bowie Golf course and it would appear the City of Bowie is letting the golf course go into such disrepair that the golf course will eventually close and the land will be sold to some developer to build more houses and basketball courts....
