Bowen Park

Nice park course with longer holes. Fun elevation change on several holes, but would be tough to play if busy or full of park goers. Also, a few holes throw alongside the road so a bit sketchy for newer players. Overall, really enjoy playing here from both tee boxes.

We're so spoiled to have this place in Nanaimo. Friends from elsewhere that have played Bowen while visiting have absolutely loved it. Great shot variety, elevation changes, mix of dense trees and more open (but still challenging) drives. White and Blue tees give a completely different experience.

Great course. Quite busy with many good golfers.

Horseshoes, beach volleyball, tennis, a pool, washrooms and an awesome two pad per hole course. This park rules.

Fairways cross walking paths and other fairways. It’s very well maintained, but it’s a very poor layout. The space would be better as a nine hole pitch and putt.

Each individual hole is great. Good design and beautiful park. The issue is danger all over the place. Tee pads facing each other and crossovers galore. Almost unplayable when there are more than 5-6 on the course.

Fun course!! Played on a week day, I can imagine it would be really busy on the weekend. Playing close to cars and beach volley ball courts. Not many around today. Well laid out!

Not a bad course! Beautiful mixed-use park with some fun shots and good elevation/basket placement. Distances need to be reviewed/updated and some tee pads are sloped and short, but good concrete pads overall. The layout is pretty rough given the proximity to other holes and the fact that several holes cross over each other. Holes 7-12 is the Wild West!

Fun park style course. The only negatives were short tee pads and criss crossing fairways.

Great little track! Very congested so avoid peak times, lots of fun and challenging holes from the whites.

Trees but lots of space. Open areas for big throws. All basket course. Highly recommend!

Lots of grey squirrels :)

Good course. Pretty wide open and can get busy. I look forward to playing again.

Nice short course, some decent lines… but WAY too much crisscrossing! Played early morning and was relatively quiet at the Park, but it’s got to be a gong-show when busy.

Fun park golf with only a few interesting shots and the baskets are very old some are in better condition than others

Time for some longer tee pads on certain holes

Such a solid course. Great mix of hole types. Theoretically you shouldn't lose a disc but I already have. Love the course.

Fun challenging course
