Much Better

This is my 4th time playing this course and i can honestly say it's in the best shape I've seen for years. Right now it's out of season but it's still be pretty good shape considering the weather we've had. They have come a long way over the past 3-4yrs. Greens and fairways are in decent shape and the price can't be beat!

Pleasantly surprised

Love the lay-out, course not long but it has plenty of bit if your not on your game. Of course the fairways were dormant (late-Feb) to be expected, greens were moderate not slow but not quick either. Front nine was a challenge especially if this is your first time out (look at the score card), back nine is a challenge wow! We played from the white tee and it's a great track to keep you thinking through out the entire round. Was a little slow on the front but the back nine picked up and it was smooth sailing from there, highly recommend and at $25.00 from Golfnow you just cant beat the deal! Range was a little on the small side but the experience out weighed that, highly recommend. Enjoy!!!!

Not Bad for late December

First time playing this course and this is normally expensive and private, love the layout no real danger off the tees. Lot of uphill approach shots so it was cool so it was hard to club up, same thing with putting. Slow greens but they did roll true, would love to see this price over the summer to better evaluate as it is a little expensive and you can play courses in this just as equal or better for less $ but all in all I had a great time it did get slow towards the end so check it out you wont be disappointed!

Lost Cause

This course is lost, tee to green in sad shape! Tee boxes were mostly dirt and the ones with grass was like hitting out of the ruff! 90% of the greens need to be replaced as they seemed defunct! Fall maintenance seem to be lacking for this time of year but you know what they say, "you get what you pay for" My partner stated the course was in pretty good shape earlier in the summer, kind of hard to believe but i'll take his word.
This course has so much potential, its a awesome track with a great layout but needs someone to put the money in to or it will disappear and I truly hate to see that.

It is what it is with Bowe Golf Club

Played during the fall season so you can expect leaves and leave it what you get! I've posted in the past that this course is getting better and still stand by that, fairways & tee boxes still need work as well as the greens but all in all their in OK shape for the end of the year? Weather was low 50's and windy so it as difficult finding your ball if you miss-hit due the leaves but I had a enjoyable round especially for $13.00 total which included a cart.

Not a fan

The greens and fairways were in pretty good condition. You could really attack the pin, but that would mislead you on the speed of the greens with all the undulations and some pin placements were just unfair. The course is tight and hitting the fairways is a must to get on the green in regulation. You can tell this course was carved out of the mountains as some of the danger areas to include a few fairways came into play, needed more maintenance as far as keeping the leave at bay. lost a few balls into spots where leave nestled, just wasn't a fan of the layout? Maybe I'll give it a 2nd change under different conditions?

Pleasant Surprise

Played over the holiday weekend visiting my brother, as he lives down here and have never played we both were pleasantly surprised at how well this course was. From tee to green it was it great shape for November, the course is pretty much right there in front of you with water on most holes but not really in play unless you hit some wayward shots. Green were quick for fall but we could tell they would be much quicker in the summer. Staff was extremely friendly, we were paired with two locals who gave us plenty of tips as we maneuver the course. My brother said he'll be back out over the summer and when I'm down visiting I'll add this to my rotations of golf to make sure i play. Can't remembered what we payed but it was pretty inexpensive!

Overhaul needed!

Let me start out by saying I was fair warned before I played, the course is under new ownership and has been bank owned for the last 4yrs. This could be a hidden gem when they get it together, loved the layout but it's in real bad shape (tee to green)!
Stated they are getting in new equipment (needed) and they are in the process of repair. Staff was very friendly, needs a clubhouse.

Sad

Haven't played in a few years and let me tell it's so bad that i was embarrassed that my buddies from out of town had to deal with it. Greens were in bad shape, most seem to be infected and the entire course was full of bird droppings! looking down the fairway from the 1st tee you think the course was in great shape, until you get out in the fairway and onto the green. Truly sad and disappointing time having to apologize to my guest. It will be a few years before i get back out there again, there are plenty of courses in the area that are less expensive and in way better shape i.e. Clifton Park, Fox Hollow, Diamond Ridge to name a few.

Nice Track

1st time on this course, couldn't beat the deal $29.00. The fairways are still dormant and the greens aerated & slow so it took some time to get use to them. Played from the tips and found the course a bit challenging especially when your playing partners were new to the course as well. Staff were very friendly and the practice areas were decent (small) but usable. I hope to see more deals when the course is in better shape, not sure if it would be worth the asking price much better courses out there for the same price but time will tell. Highly recommend if your looking for a nice track with some difficulty, you have to be on your game for this par 70. Most important, I had a great time playing there!

On the right track, great value.

This course has come a long way since I've last played here, greens are in pretty good shape slow but true. Your really can't beat the value, considering the number of folks out on the course pace of play was pretty good. Tee box's need some work and the fairways for the most part okay, if you want a great value and a nice track to play you cant beat it.

Bowie is from Top to Bottom the Absolute Best course you will find for the Money. Staff John & Fred & Jim , go out of their way to go the extra mile to make sure every player is accomodated. Well mantained, challenging and always a Fun outing.

Must Play

Must play especially for the low rate, pricey at the normal rates. Pace of play was a little slow but manageable. Played this course one time about 6-7 years back and let me tell it has improved 100%! The course is in great condition, greens a fairways were in great shape at this early time of the season. It’s a challenging course, you really just can't bomb it but you have to hit your shots and if you miss it's easy to lose a stroke. Greens were really quick and I had a lot of three putts, my score was plus 8 from my normal score! I'll be back for sure, my playing partners really enjoyed themselves and said this could be Maryland's best kept secret? We'll see....

Highly recommend!

I'll be back!

This is one of Maryland's best kept secret, this was my first time playing here and let me tell you it was cool and windy but I didn’t mind one bit! The course was in pretty good shape considering the elements and how early in the season it is but the fairways and greens were in great shape (greens were quick and ran true). I'm not one for spending a lot of cash on course early the season and you really can't beat the deal through golfnow.com, it’s a challenging course which make it fun for the real golf enthusiast. Can't wait for the good weather, I'll be back!

Great conditions in December

Course was in great shape, eventhough it was cart path only still had a great time. Pace of play was great, staff was superfriendly and the value was Great $21.00 can't beat that at all! Fairways was wet but playable, greens were in awesome shape not really fast but not slow either (had to stay focus on your reads). Wish they (golf course) would offer deals like this throughout the year (spring/summer), would play there often...

Great Deal

Course is in pretty good condition, fairways still growing in for looks like airation but the greens in some areas were a little diseased. Tee box's on some to the holes were bare and in need of some attention, looks as if they are trying to control them. Over all still a great place to play, can't beat the price & playing in December!

Great deal at a Awesome course!

Course was in great shape, can't beat the price (Wish they had deals like this more often)! A lot of blind shots with uphill approach shots, got to be on your game to score well. Greens were fast and took some getting use too. Had a great time staff all around was friendly and helpful.

Course is getting better eveytime I play.

Its a good practice facility, no driving range (2-spots) hitting into a net? For the most part it's getting better everytime I play, this being the 4th time in 2012. Still needs some work but it looks as they are putting in the effort.

Great winter value

Played early in the week, course was practically empty so pace of play was great (4hrs). For January the course was in great shape, fairways and greens near summer like conditions even though the greens were somewhat hard (winter) which made for the ball stopping difficult to not even. Ruff was patching in places but that's to be expected, overall the conditions were ideal for winter golf in January. Would only play this course using the Golfnow Hot Deal, lot of course in MD comparable to this course have much better affordable price's. Had a great time hope to visit again during the summer, that if there's discounts on green fees.
