5/20/2010 | Bowling Green North provides one of the most affordable eighteen hole courses in the Front Royal. This is not a cow pasture by any means either. The sister course is Bowling Green South and is adjacent to the North course. While the South course is good, the North has much more character and is always in very good condition. If you play Shenandoah Valley Golf Course next door, you get a nice view of the North from one of the tees. Lots of local outings are played at the North course due to the low pricing for groups, so call ahead to check availability of this popular course. Using the Waggle Golf Pass on the weekends is a terrific deal for a round of golf and cart. It is well worth the hour drive west of the beltway on a weekend afternoon. The course even has an island green par three hole! Ayce |
4/9/2008 | For so early in the season this course was really lush. Couple that with an unusual layout and you have a very good golf value. The scenery is a welcome change from many close-in courses. The ambience is typical ‘valley’ with a lot of friendliness. One of the par threes has an island green which is oversized so as to provide lots of successful ‘greenies.’ There is par four that is very downhill so long hitters can go for the green and make up some shots. One of the par fives is so long and uphill that even the longest of hitters will not get home in two. By contrast the ninth hole is an inviting par five that gives up some eagles. Watch out for the meandering stream, it will bite you! Ayce |
9/23/2006 | One of two older courses (South lies adjacent) this is simply a rare find for golf in the Mid Atlantic. Because it is less than an hour from the DC beltway, charges $25 on weekends after noon with a coupon from the Post, and offers a nifty rolling layout which is in great shape, Bowling Green North’s hard to top for a weekend golf value. On this beautiful fall day the pace of play at noon was a mere 3 and one half hours. About the only flaw we noticed were the cart paths which were bone jarring in many places throughout the course. Conditions otherwise were terrific, particularly for a budget course. Pay close attention to the small creek-like ditch connecting the ponds. It quietly rambles through a number of holes only to jump up and grab an otherwise good shot. Ayce |
