Worth the Money

I booked a tee time through Golf Now and paid $25 per person. I thought the course setup was good and the course was in good shape. My son and I would definitely go back. The only problem we had was that it was an extremely windy day, which made it more difficult. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, in spite of the wind.

Best deal for the money around

Very impressed with the conditions at Bowie Golf Club, especially for this time of year. The fairways were manicured, traps had soft sand, the greens were true. A few had recently been aerated, but still played well. Pace of play on front nine was slow because my group was behind four young guys who were not too swift. They did however understand what was happening and allowed us to move past them to start 10. But all in all a great value and I look forward to playing again soon.

People want to pay $25 for golf then complain they don’t get a $75 golf course. It’s truly amazing.

First time Great day

A little slow to start but I liked the course. Early spring conditions so course was not in the best shape. Then how can you complain when it is 70 and sunny for this time of year. Looking forward to the next round.

I truly enjoy playing this course

I've only starting playing a few times a year for the last 5 years or so and have found this course has a bit of everything I need to fine-tune my play: varying elevations, challenging bunkers, long drives with blind fades, and quiet, serene landscapes to help with my concentration. There's a few cart paths edges that could use some TLC and low spots on the back-9 greens that are occasionally wet that I just routinely need to avoid but otherwise it's designed well. I agree pace of play can sometimes be a concern but that comes with the course's popularity.

Thank You for the kind words. We planted a lot of grass seed this fall and the combination of how wet it’s been and the newly germinated grass is the reason the grass is a bit high right now. Once the new grass is established we will get it mowed to a desirable height. In the next few weeks you should see a marked improvement.

Thanks again and see you soon

Always a good course

Given the amount of rain that has fallen recently, the course was in good shape. There were areas in the fairways that were saturated along with some greens as well. However, the course was in god condition and very playable.

Good value for hot deal

Overall course was in pretty good shape. Good layout, but I didn’t like the 2-3 holes with blind tee shots (11 & 13 I think). Hole 10 is pretty ridiculous. Greens were in nice shape and rolled true. Pace of play was good for a Sunday 12:00pm tee time. For $18 I was happy with this course.

Need a lot of work on tee boxes

Course layout is good, greens and most fairway are in pretty good shape. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. Elderly 4 some tied up the back nine causing major backup last 4-5 holes.

Good greens, poor fairways

A bit pricey for the conditions, but on a Saturday before noon not a bad deal...all things considered. The snack bar/food at the turn was good.
