Twisted Oaks Golf Club has officially broken ground on the new course and clubhouse.
Twisted Oaks is the former Top O’ The Lake Golf Course in rural Bowie.
“There was no official ceremony,” PGA Professional Ron Moxom said. “We just went to work.”
The new clubhouse will be completed by Easter weekend in 2015, Moxom reported.
Amenities will include a fully stocked golf shop, dining area, pavilion and porch.
There will be a regular schedule for food and a beverage service also will be offered for special events.
Work on the clubhouse began on Oct. 30 and the course itself on Monday. The course itself will be finished by summer of 2015. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Twisted Oaks will play host to best-ball event

There will be a two-person team “Turkey Shoot” on Nov. 22 at Twisted Oaks Golf Club in rural Bowie.
The event will begin at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start.
Twisted Oaks is the new name of the former Top O’ The Lake Golf Course.
This tournament is open to all two-person teams. All teams play nine holes of gross best ball, and the low six teams will make the shoot-out.
The entry fee is $100 per team, with the field limited to the first 18 teams signing up.
The cost includes the prize purse, range balls and a cook-out dinner.
The prize money is as follows: $500 for the winning team, $300 for second, $200 for third and $100 for fourth.
There also will be an optional $10 team Skins Game.
PGA professional Ron Moxom reports the course will play at about 2,800 yards.
In addition, there will be a $500 long drive contest. There is a separate $75 entry fee for this contest. It’s a winner-take-all format.
