First Course

This was my first time at a full 18 hole course. I came early to do the driving range. My next visit will be 9 holes.

Not bad

The guy at the cashier was not there and that was a plus. The female at the counter understands courtesy and respect. Huh..

The Best Bang for the Buck

I thoroughly enjoy playing BGC. The clubhouse staff are fantastic. They are very customer service oriented. I like to walk and with the exception of hole #11 this course is walker friendly. The course overall is in great condition.

Cart Path is a Danger Zone

The Greens are in great shape but slow comparably

The Fairways are Fair shape but not soft at all. Tee Boxes in decent shape..BUT THE CART PATH IS A JOKE..You need a SUV cart to ride on them ..FIX THE Path Geez..

Grungy carts

The one thing I hate about Bowie are the filthy carts. I doubt they have been thoroughly cleaned since they were new. The club should invest in a power wash system and pay someone to wash them. Other courses managed by the same company manage to provide clean carts.
