Great course for Seniors

Short hitters with decent accuracy skills will generally score well ! This makes golfing fun if you can make hitting greens in regulation!

Very well maintained course

This course is very well maintained, except for cart path which requires serious upgrade. Greens and fairways were in good condition. No waiting on any of the holes.

A great day to play. Greens are in good shape. Need work ON THE CART PATHS, NEED New Mats and balls. Many of us thought the new managers would make an investment. The tree removal looks good. Thanks

NOT BAD FOR THE MONEY

Wet start that dried later, ending up as a half way decent day. Greens ok, but fringe around greens was terrible. Not much grass on fairways yet in early season. Tees were ok.

Cart paths rough enough to take one's life, so watching for potholes and dangers is vital.

Final thoughts, ok for the money, and best if you are with good company. Would consider playing again if no other nicer options available at a reasonable price.

For a last minute round of golf it was ok but I've played better.

Not sure what to rate the course as this was the first time there and the weather was craptastic so I'll say that I've played better and cheaper but bang for the buck not too shabby for a course in the Washington DC metro area.

1st Time

It was our first time playing at Bowie. Considering it is early March and the weather was nice enough for a day of golf I'd say it was a win. All things considered date and weather the course was in good knick. The greens weren't terrible and overall the course had a nice flow. We will definitely be seeing off here again.
