‘top rated, 4 stars…. As soon as you drive through Bowood’s Golden Gates you realize you are somewhere special …… one of the best parkland courses in the country' - Today’s Golfer Magazine 2006
‘Played two weeks ago, superb course and at 32 pounds with 2 course meal, only wish it was on my doorstep and not 200 miles away. Brilliant.’ J. Plume, 2005
‘when I drove in down the lane along side the 1st I have to say I was like an excited school boy, the place was screaming at me to get out and its def more a golf venue rather than a course. C. Jones, 2005
‘Played for first time today, what a superb course, greens are receptive and fast, fairways in fantastic condition. You have to think your way round, each hole is different and challenging. Absolutely loved the course and on a 2 for 1 deal is an absolute steal at £22. If you haven't played it dont wait, book up and enjoy a great day on a superb course - why they don’t hold PGA tours there is a mystery, its really is that good. Staff in pro shop are really nice and facilities are also excellent. Nuff said 10/10...' J.Bolger 2005
