Great Test of Golf
Playing in high summer you know that entering the rough is a 'no no' but it's going to happen to mid and high handicappers here because even off the yellow tees you need all that's in your bag. You will also appreciate the deep yet immaculate bunkers punishing all but the truest approach shots. Having played this course back in the 1990's it is wonderful to see how it has matured and in the sunshine it shows off the Wiltshire countryside at its best. Take a few extra balls and if you don't get too upset when you lose them you will have a great day. Pro shop, food and general facilities just ooze class as well.Reviewer Rating

Good Challenge
Played here before and the course is a really good challenge. Bunkers protect all the greens so bring your sand game. Accurate driving will bring its rewards but you still have some undulating greens to negotiate.Only criticism was there were some old divots that could do with being filled in.

Really good challenge
A course offering something for all handicapsGood layout with some clever bunkering inviting you to go for it when a layup is a good option. Like all good courses bring your A game. Really enjoyed playing here.

Beautiful Bowwod
Stunning track in excellent condition. Good test of golf. Rough was up when we played as the English pga was due to be played there. Greens very true. Had food afterwards and it was top notch.Reviewer Rating

Played here with a friend whilst staying at the hotel. Course in good condition given the recent dry weather. Greens were true and rolled well. Some of the rough had been cut back since I'd played at a similar time last year which was helpful. Mask required in the pro shop which was also one way, both of which were no problem, though shame you couldn't look round. Friendly welcome and nice food and pint in golf bar post round. £50 for the round was reasonable.

I have been a golf member for almost my first full season at Bowood and it has been and continues to be one of the best I have ever experienced due to the welcome, friendliness and unique facilities as well as being an amazing golf course. I can highly recommend to anyone who is considering either to play as a visitor or to become a member to not think twice as I am sure you will find whatever you chose it would no doubt be a memorable experience.

Bowood is a superb golf course. Intelligent design, good bunkering and lots of multi tiered greens make this a really good challenge. Also one of the classiest stay & play venues in the UKReviewer Rating

Lovely course in good nick. Was lucky to get round it when it was quiet and a couple of members let me through on the 3rd which was appreciated. Warm welcome in the pro shop too. Course itself played well and is a decent challenge. Nice variety in the course and greens were decent if a little firm. Will play again when in the area.
