Description

Bowden is a classic WPA era muni laid out on a former airfield in east Macon by local pro John 'Dick' Cotton. Completed in 1940 with Works Progress Administration labor and community funding, it's now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The course became the first public facility in Macon to integrate in 1961, giving it social significance beyond golf. Today Bowden remains affordable and approachable, with broad fairways and gently contoured greens. A full length driving range, chipping green and putting green support lessons and beginner play. Multiple tees keep the par 72 layout playable for all abilities.

Enjoyed the day at Bowden Golf Course. Everyone was very friendly and helpful in the clubhouse. Would have given it a 5 but the Course fairways and cart paths have lots of ruts. Greens are in great shape for this time at your. Still a great day.

$6 for a large bucket of balls, nice practice putting green, decent for a public course and for the price

Greens are not well kept. They didn’t have enough carts for the people that reserved tee times. Their website says they sell alcohol, but they do not. You aren’t supposed to bring outside food and drinks. Not our favorite course, but it’s also not one of the more expensive courses. There is definitely no pro shop like it advertises. We enjoyed playing but it definitely needs some work.

Great service!! I love the course! It’s a great workout if you are walking the greens! A word of caution The back 9 are steep if you attempt to walk the greens!! The greens are kept fairly decent. I’m grateful for the staff on hand they provide the service of keeping the greens decent and up to par. Great price. I was sad to hear about Mr Jim Hickman he was my instructor a while back and was a great at the game and had a very unique way of teaching the game that made you want to learn even more. He will be missed. Bowden is a great course. I always enjoy my visit at Bowden.

I see all these negative comments on the course. But they were made several years ago...Alot of improvement has been going on....greens are being taken care of...the fairways are coming around...and alot of underbrush is being removed. I agree that the course suffered some failure in the past, but it is coming back, continue to support the course...it is getting better little by little
