A traditional golf course design respects the land because ‘the land came first.’ It follows the natural contours without cutting off mountains, creating outrageous forced carries, or building false islands. Many of today’s newer designs would look the same regardless of where they were built as they have little respect for the raw land.
Look in the Dictionary Under “Traditional Golf Course” and You’ll See a Photo of Bowling Green.
Early golf course architects (and a few of the newer generation) built golf courses to provide a respite from city landscapes. Most golf courses were part of a ‘country’ club. Bowling Green provides a beautiful environment well away from the city. As you play the course, views of the mountains spring up around every corner.
Also, the layout also takes advantage of the tall red pine trees and majestic oaks that flank the course. The back nine incorporates natural ponds and wetlands to provide additional variety and strategic interest.

As You Stand Over That Four-Footer To Seal the Game—All You Hear are The Birds Chirping and the Quiet Wind Through the Trees.
The traditional golf course provides the golfer with the sounds of nature, not the sounds of a highway or interstate or airport. At Bowling Green, you are truly in the heart of the country. Just the chance to de-compress is worth the price of admission at Bowling Green. That’s why many golfers arrive early at Bowling Green and spend the entire day.
A Traditional Golf Course Provides the Opportunity Walk
A traditional design welcomes (with outstretched arms) the player who wants to walk. The distance between greens and tees is minimal and there are no ‘forced carries’ around weird hazards. You can ride anytime at Bowling Green but you can walk anytime as well—in the finest traditions of the great game of golf.
Gently Undulating Terrain Makes For Great Golf
The original great links courses in the British Isles had gently undulating terrain—the heart and soul of great golf land. Bowling Green’s site provides the perfect pitch and roll so that every hole is different and the course presents a constantly changing portfolio of interesting challenges. The land and the traditional design demands a combination of accuracy, power, and thought.
A Traditional Design Means Faster Play
With greens and tees close together, it’s simply quicker to get from hole to hole. Plus the absence of artificial features means that if you stray a little from the fairway, you’re probably going to find your ball quickly and then be able to play that epic recovery shot. One of the great traditions of golf is playing quickly and not having to wait forever for the group ahead.
