Great Couurse

Only problem I found was it was very slow going cause there was a match on in front of us we was waiting on every tee it took us 5 hours to get around and we was only a 2 ball !!!

Well kept course. Very welcoming.

Overall, a very good course, facilities and welcoming staff.
Slight spoiler on the day was a very slow 4-ball ahead (in buggies!) who were holding up at least 5 groups behind and not letting anyone through!
That said, defo on the list to revisit in 2023.

Bank Holiday Golf

Played Bowood Park on the Bank Holiday monday and what a joy it was .Firstly green fees were half price because of course maintenance week but none being done today so win win . The greens were the best I’ve played on this year and fairways ample grass to get your woods under Divots filled around the course and some grreat holes especially on the back nine (12 being my favourite.)Had a breakfast before going out and can highly recommend for a tenner Staff so welcoming. Weather was great so superb day in all. Many Thanks team Bowood Looking forward to our stay and plays in winter months

Great course

We played a four ball around Bowood on Sunday 14th August which was during a really hot and dry spell of weather. The course was in great condition considering!
The only small fault I found, as a first time visitor to Bowood was that there was no map of the course on the score card, or a map of each hole on the tee boxes. So we were guessing slightly when teeing off at times.
But overall it was a great course to play for all abilities. Our group had a range of handicaps and all enjoyed.

Nice track in windy/hot conditions

Extremely hot day so a buggy was in order, good course, very good condition, picturesque and challenging holes. Great day out with flexibility shown by Pro Shop staff and friendly club house. When back in my home county again, I’ll definitely give the place another go. Very enjoyable

WOW What a course/venue from the moment I arrived and asked the very approachable professional Max about disabled parking then the very friendly guy on the reception desk. We had a Fantastic day on and off the course with fantastic course conditions and exceptional food and service. Bowood Park must not be missed if you are in Cornwall it will meet all your expectations. I WILL BE BACK ( Arnold )

Fantastic course

Played Bowood today, and as a 5 handicapper found it a wonderful course. Trees, water, meandering streams, idyllic scenery and wonderful layout were some of the outstanding features. The weather was awful but the course so good, I found it hardly mattered as I shot a 7 over score inspired by the surroundings. Any trio to Cornwall needs a visit to this course

Silly Course

The pro shop told me they had broken mowers. Well the rough was US Open stupid. 2 yards off the fairway and you’ couldn’t find your ball. My major complaint is you can’t see the green off many tee shots. That’s ok but you can’t see them after your tee shot either. The golf course design it totally stupid.
It was not designed by a golf designer with any idea what a normal golfer plays like. One hole in particular has a tree 80 yds from the green. My son hits a long ball so he was stymied. I’m much shorter so couldn't hit it over the tree fro further back.
I’ll never go back. Mickey Mouse

Mass v Reads Cornwall Golf Tour

An excellent coarse with really challenging holes and some long par three’s along with a monster Par 5! Greens & fairways in excellent condition. The hotel bar staff was our only disappointment where we were told. no food available at around 1.15pm other than crisps or nuts and 20 mins later cooked food was being delivered to other tables???

Really Great

Easily the nicest hotel course I’ve played. It’s in great condition and the valley holes are stunning. I’d thoroughly recommend this course to anyone visiting Cornwall.
In fact so good we played it twice.
