Good Value

Bowie is a fun course. The staff is working hard to make your round an enjoyable experience. Greens are slow. Otherwise it's in pretty good shape. A great value for the money!

Please water the tee box at the sixteenth hole.
We are unable to place a tee in the ground because of the hard condition of the tee box.
Wooden tees break and plastic bend but neither goes into the soil without extreme difficulty. You installed a new irrigation system over the winter. Use it to loosen up the 16th tee box.
Thank you

Good condition but way to slow!

Pace of play was extremely slow. For Every hole we were waiting, 5 - 10 minutes. Foursome ahead of us we’re not good golfers plus they did not play ready golf. Players never ready to hit and watching. Course in good condition and reasonably priced, but should have been able to play at least 15 - 18 holes and could only play 9 due to the pace of play

Good course at good price

The course fairways and greens were good and the price was excellent. The bathrooms were disgusting and smelled gross. There was very limited food, just hotdogs and crackers and soda
