Public Course, Private Feel

Absolutely love this golf course. Every part of this course is always in good shape (fairways, tees, greens). The layout is fantastic and includes many unique holes. Range balls are included in the cost of the round making your pre-round experience feel like you're at a private club. All in all, recommend this golf course to anyone looking for a well groomed, challenging course.

Loved the layout

My first time playing the Highlands. I've played multiple rounds at Bowes Creek and can say that this golf course is unique and challenging for many golfers due to forced carries, and in some spots taller fescue. I thought tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens were inconsistent and showed signs of being overplayed(many unfixed ball marks). Pace of play wasn't great, but overall good experience and value.

Give this course time

I love the redesign. After playing the old Oak Meadows multiple times, I can say that this golf course has improved drastically. The layout is fantastic, especially the back nine with a wide variety of holes. Course conditions are good, not great but as this course continues to mature it will be one of the best public courses in the area. The bunkers are a huge improvement. The additions to the driving range make this course an ideal spot to practice as well. I'm sure along with many people, it would be nice to have a clubhouse but overall great experience

Needs A LOT of work

I knew that when I played here it wasn't gonna be great but I didn't think it would be this bad. The clubhouse is very rundown and old, the practice green is kept long, tee boxes uneven. I will say that once on the course, I enjoyed the layout and thought while slow, the greens rolled well. Granted it was a weekend, but in no way shape or form should this golf course be charging more than $35 for a round. If they improve upon maintenance, I think people would enjoy the layout.

Thoroughly Surprised

With low expectations, I didn't expect much out of this golf course. Boy did my mind change. The course is in relatively good shape despite some spotty tee boxes. The greens roll true, bunkers nice and fairways were in good shape. At its value, give this course a try!
