I have always enjoyed this course and can see money is being spent on it. However , my playing partners and I thought that the fairways were in very poor condition and very surprised how long the fairway grass was. This seems strange , considering the weather , and appeared not to have been cut for some time showing by the amount of cut grass left on the fairway by the mowers on the day we played. Pease can we have the fairways mown tighter , even if we don`t get rain for a week or so ( which is unlikely) the grass will always recover. It just seems disappointing that us short hitters can`t get the benefit of a bit of extra distance in the summer. But stiil a fair course.

Not been playing for that long but i really enloy visiting bowring as its close but also for a council owned course it is excellent also all the staff are very helpful. You can also see how much work there doing too maintain the fairways and especially the greens considering the weather weve been having there doing an exceptional job. Overall i think its a perfect course for all levels of players.

Really disappointing, uncut tee boxes, half the fairways uncut and played like semi rough and as for the greens they were absolutely rubbish, what a waste of time and money with people bunking on and playing as 5 and 6 balls.

Best Municipal in Liverpool.

Played today Sun 28 Jan 2023.
After back 9 holes being closed due to previous snow and frost then being waterlogged it was amazing to see how dry it was.
Fairways were a bit soft but lush and no puddles.
Greens were in amazing condition.
New clubhouse has just opened offering, sandwiches, panninies, pastries, flavoured chips.
We have bought an annual golf contract for this year.
Well worth a visit.

Bowring Park Golf Course

The course needs a bit of TLC. It has changed hands several times over the past 10 years and unfortunately the course has suffered. The greens are okay but need a bit of attention, players don't fix pitch marks and this has caused them to be uneven. The bunkers have decent levels of sand and play well but no rakes make for poor lies. If players take care of the course it would improve the course no end, at ?12 a round you get what you pay for.

Great value

At this time of year the course is in good condition and offers excellent value. The problem is that no course Marshall or any staff on course, played twice and on both occasions behind a 5 ball with 1 set of clubs between them.
