Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Panther/Bobcat Course

The course has greatly improved now the rains hsve slowed down and they have mowed almost all of the course. The summer improvement program seems to be working. The crew at Silver Dollar are nice and friendly. Would give 5 stars if the entire course gets mowed every week and the tee boxes improve.

You start on3,8,9 on one course then go to another course play 4,5,7,8,9 go to another course play 1,2,3,6,7,8,9 it’s crazy.

So, we hit some balls at practice range. Go to starter & are informed that we have the pleasure if playing on all 3 courses due to work being done on greens throughout the club. Well, knowing where to hit the ball became a huge challenge.Anyway, I did get all 18 holes in & greens we played on were in good shape.

Course was a mess due to the closure. Wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it if the cuts were manageable. The fairways were tall and the rough was unmanageable. I lost more balls in this round of golf then I had all year long after not finding balls in the fairways and in the rough. Desperately needs a cut.

Entire course soaking wet. I don't know what's worse, the trenchfoot i got from the soaking wet course or the fact that I paid probably quadruple what this course is worth. Do not go here. Literally losing balls in the fairway. Horrible

Considering the amount of rain we've had, they made the course playable and inviting.

First time playing this course. They had a bad storm come through the night before and some holes weren’t playable and all of the signs for the holes had been damaged which made things really confusing. All the staff were seniors who weren’t very friendly(We are a young group who aren fairly new to the game, but very respectful and wanting to learn), parked a cart on a very small slope and they rode their cart up to us yelling to get off the “hill” and you can’t park on anything but flat surfaces, which this was basically flat. No big deal re parked the cart and continued with our game. We had the first tee time of the day and nobody were behind us. We get to our 5th hole and they made us skip the 5th hole because we “were playing too slow and the people behind us were going to catch up” there was nobody behind us for at least 3 holes. They have multiple courses that all kind of run together, so we got a bit mixed up because they didnt have holes running 1-9 or 1-18 you had to go 1,2,5,8, then to another course #3,4,5,9,10,11(something like that) which was a problem for staff once more. Then we drove the cart “too close to the water hazard” we were at least 15-20 feet away and the only reason we even got that close was to avoid riding the cart through a very large puddle from the storm the night before, got yelled at again. At that point we got jipped one hole already and got fed up with being yelled at so we just called it quits and left. At this point still nobody had caught up to us and the closest players were now 4 holes behind us. I was really upset because the course looked really nice and when we weren’t being harassed by the senior staff I was having a good time and playing really well, almost had a hole in one on a par 3. I might return when they have all the signs up and you can play the courses as they are intended.

Pros - Ranger was very friendly and the course was pretty empty so pace of play was nice and fast.

Cons - Overall, to say the course was in rough shape, would be generous. I realize the entire course isn't open and they're working on it, however, the holes that are available are not good. Some greens were "okay" but most were terrible. The fairways were littered with crabgrass, bare patches, dirt, etc. It was a constant to "improve the lie." The rough was indeed rough...think of your backyard if you didn't mow it for 2 weeks.

Non golf related, but the gun range across the street is beyond annoying and distracting. It's like playing golf in a warzone.

You definitely get what you pay for here. I feel bad because this place looks like it could be so much better than what it currently is.

I understand they're working on some greens, but the Course overall is in horrible condition. A 2 star rating is where this course should be rated, and that's even a gift rating. If you like playing off bare or crabgrass infested tee boxes, this might be your course.

Needs work. Some greens are in great condition but most the course is sandy.. I'm certain they'll get it fixed

Course conditions are pretty bad. The fairway is so bumpy it’s like driving a brick road, the grass on the green is very long. If you don’t make the fairway, your ball is gone, the rough is so rough that you can’t see anything. There was a sprinkler head on a tee box. The price kinda reflects the course - should have known better but I’d been on the shorter course the only other time I’d been here & it wasn’t bad.

The "course maintenance" was extreme!

The place is an absolute dogtrack!

Only a half dozen decent greens on the entire course.

It was worse than worse. Now I know why the parking lot was empty.

Terrible condition is putting it mildly.

I don't plan to return to this golf course (if you can call it that) ever again and do not recommend playing there.
