Good course. Narrow tree lined fairways with reasonably good greens. Overall the course is in great condition due to good maintenance and recent rain. Overall a peaceful course with great people. Recommended.

i played this course a week ago and found it to be a very hilly and uninteresting course. From the weather it was very wet underfoot and the greens and fairways were of average standard. also the bunkers did not have enough sand and were like hitting off concrete.

Throughout the year or so since I have played golf my ideas of golf courses have changed greatly. I now know that it is not exactly the quality of the fairways or greens that makes a course great. It truly is the course design.

While short at 5249 metres it still makes for a challenging course with a nice mix of 3's, 4's and 5's. The design of each hole is really what grabs you. Very different from any other course I have ever played.

I love ths course and would greatly recommend it to anyone looking for a change to there game.

Took the trip up the Mountain from Wollongong a week or so ago to play this course, I was not expecting a grade A course but when i got there and got into my round I found it too be great fun and very enjoyable.

The 2nd hole was one of my favs, you tee off from high up on a hill and the fairway is down in a vally. The Hole dog-legs left and slightly uphill again too the green, Your tee shot has to be placed perfectly on the fairway as there are big gum tress that will block your 2nd shot to the green if you dont have the right angle.

The 13th Hole is also worth a mention as well. At 327m it is not that long but you tee off on top of the biggest hill on the course and the green is at the lowest point of the course so this Par 4 green is very Drive-able. Should be the easiest Par on the course for most players.

Overall it is a good walk as the course is very hilly, It is not in great condition but they have made the most of the conditions and land they have to work with. The greens I found to be quite different in speed from one to the next but all in all they were quite good also.

If you want to play a course that is quite open and not that long, BCC is great fun and worth a hit!

Went to Bowral expecting a very average course and was very surprised with how good the course was.

Fairways are pretty good but greens are superb.

Great people and a good location. Recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though I have only played golf twice in my life, I find it a greatly intriguing and fun sport. My friend Max lives next to the tee-off for the 13th hole and has played golf a couple of times before in his life, so he convinced me to go with him and play 9 holes at the Country Club.

We arrived at the club, sometime around 12:45 and inquired about the cost fo the course. It was only $10 for 9 holes and another $10 to hire clubs, a reasonable price I thought.

We set off to the first hole, a short par 4 with a dip in the middle. With a nice green luscious fairway the hole seemed an appealing start to the course. Seeing as it was my first time playing golf it took me 8-10 hits to complete this one.

The second hole was an average length par 4 that was pretty straight until it curved off to the left, around a large gumtree. The green was in the shade of a bunch of pine and gum trees with a deep bunker to the left. It took me a triple bogie to sink the ball.

The third hole was a long par 5 that had a slow long curve around a pine forest splitting up the third and fifth holes. The fairway on this hole was not the best I have seen as most of the grass was dry, and the ground hard, due to the lack of shade along the course. The green was nicely green and well kept though, but oddly slow.

The fourth is one of the most interesting holes at this course. A short walk to the tee off through the Australian bush went to a platform tee with the pro tee at the top, and the member and guest tee's at the bottom. A short par 3 (only about 100-150 metres), downhill towards the green, with thick rough and trees in the middle. A nice hole in all.

The fifth hole at the Bowral Country Club is a straightforward hole that borders with the third. The fairway is quite like the third also, mostly dead grass and hard ground. It ends with a steep slope down towards a watery ditch with the green just over it. Not a bad hole and easily reachable in par if you can drive the ball off the tee straight.

I found the sixth hole a rather annoying yet intriguing one. Its a a long par 4 that slopes down to the right. The green is reachable in 2 shots with an accurate long drive, but can be challenging for beginning golfers.

The seventh hole slopes downhill then uphill again, with a nice smooth fairway. While not possible to reach the green in 1, many could probably reach it in 2-4 hits, depending on skill. There are many trees off to the left so watch your drive, and a deep bunker near the green.

The eight hole at the club is a straight forward hole with slight bumping along the fairway. The green is reachable in 2 hits with a good drive. There is a row of pine trees to the left so watch your shot.

The ninth hole is the last one I played at this course and is a short straighforward par 3. Easily Reachable in 1 or 2 hits, most people could make this par quite easily.

Overall not a bad course. Sporting an interesting array of holes it is certainly not the best, but far from the worst too. It sports slow green and hard fairways, so you can expect a lot of rolling from your ball.

Played at Bowral CC today for the 1st time a had a great day.

Arrived at the clubhouse about midday to an empty carpark.

As I started off there were a group of 3 older members on the 1st fairway who I waited to finish before hitting off. By the time I got to the 2nd tee they had waited for me and allowed me to play straight through. After that I barley saw another person on the course.

As for the Course itself ...

Its a fair hike in some sections and although usually I always walk, I'm glad I forked out extra for the cart here.

The fairways are fairly well maintained although its does get patchy in some areas off to the sides.

The Greens were a little slow today (but we have had a bit of rain in the last few days).

The 13th is a great hole (as mentioned below) and is definatly one those you will remember for a while after playing.

All in all ... Great , Quiet Country Course.

Payed $25 for 18 Holes and $30 for Cart

Like it's near neighbour The Highlands, this course is about to be altered to allow for some re-developement work to it's clubhouse and some new on site accommodation.

The course is relatively short with some of the par 4's reachable with a very good drive and it's par 5's reachable in 2 shots.

The greens have improved since the last time I played there and the fairways are in good condition.

A fairly hilly course but this is made up for by some unforgettable scenery. The par 4 13th is a gem as it overlooks the township of Bowral and hitting from an elevated tee it is downhill all the way.

The greens are fairly small which makes up for the shortness of the course.

A good challenge.
