There are three nines at the Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club, which can be played individually, consecutively, or as three different 18-hole combinations. Each nine has a unique layout with different challenges but all share the same lush landscape covered with stately trees and water features. The Panther/Bobcat combination offers a mix of narrow and wide fairways, some of which are lined with trees. A few strategically placed bunkers come into play along the greensides and there are also water hazards coming into play on a number of holes. Located just northwest of Tampa along the west Florida coast, the nines represent the best of Florida golf. Silver Dollar also boasts some of the area's most affordable rates, which makes the versatile layouts doubly appealing.

Gator needed some work. Panther was nice.

My first time playing here. Played the Panther first nine and it needed work. tee boxes not level and lots of divots. Greens were spotty. Lots of roots around trees if youre in the rough. water in play. back nice is much nicer as I played the Panther. very nice greens. Gun range along the road was the only negative on the back nine. reasonable for the money but the front nine wasnt anything to write about.

Shots fired.

The Silver Dollar Golf Club is a nice little track. It has firmly large fairways with plenty of room to miss. Most of the greens are crowned and water comes into play on about half the course. Its a short course by modern day standards but the design makes you think. Lots of doglegs and holes where driver isn't necessarily the play. The course was in pretty good shape, greens rolled true and fairways were green. No rough to speak of, pretty typical of courses in FL this time of year. Course was a bit soggy from rain, lots of embedded balls. Other than that, it was a nice round on a fun little track. ***A special note however, if you are easily bothered by loud sounds beware. The course is across the street from a gun range. The #8 hole of the Panther 9 is about 150 yards away.

Just a nice place.

It was a pleasure to go out to a place not surrounded by homes. That said, the course was a typical west coast course, flat. Some areas on the fairways were thin. A good deal of wildlife to be seen. However, the staff make it so much more enjoyable, and I really kind of liked the idea of the gun range going along #8 Panther side. An interesting tid bit for your golf course scrap book. Let's face it, there is always something better, but I really liked this place and I will go back again, nice and relaxed, you'll be happy with the choice.

Average Course at a Good Price!

I would really like to give Silver Dollar a higher rating as the course condition was fine and they layout if nice but the gun range right across the street makes some of the holes not so enjoyable. I don't need complete silence to golf, my buddies are talking the whole time anyway but constant gunfire is a bit much when your on the golf course. I would probably not recommend this course to anyone although the course itself and the staff are good.. Just didn't enjoy the whole round due to the shooting range that is attached.

Winter conditions are OK

Nothing outstanding to write. Tee boxes fair, fairways fair, rough sparce (and awkward, lots of surface roots near the trees). Greens are ok, roll smooth but speed is moderate to slow. Current overall condition along with a low rate makes for a good practice round. Pay a higher rate and you may be disappointed. The gun range across the street will either annoy you or improve your focus.

Good Value from GolfNow

We found this course is ladies friendly ... played the Gator / Panther combination ... wide fairways ... Greens are rolling quite nice ... saw a 9 foot alligator on the 9th hole ... the only annoying thing is the noise from the trap shooting range adjacent to the course ... enjoyed the round and will come back.

Great course at a great value!

I have recently played several courses in the area and Silver Dollar Golf Course is in far better condition than all of the others I've played. The greens at Silver Dollar are phenomenal!! I've played golf for years, but gave it up for the past 10 years and have just started playing again with my wife who recently took it up. I took my wife to Silver Dollar for the first time this weekend and it was her favorite course of all the courses we've played in the area. Silver Dollar is perfect to challenge me, yet still provide an enjoyable round for my wife without being able to get into too much trouble. This is now our "go-to" course for a weekend round of golf. You can't go wrong playing here!

Half bad half good

Ok, when we arrived to 1st tee there was a fourball just teed off and a twosome waiting.. no problem, then the starter asked us to start on the bobcat 9 and we did, BIG MISTAKE, it is in very poor condition, greens are all patchy and poor overall layout. We were going to leave after 9 but said we would give the Gator 9 a chance and I'm glad we did. Very nice and 100% better than Bobcat 9. We just couldn't figure out why starter sent us out to such a poor 9 holes. I would reconend to a friend but to stay clear of Bobcat 9.

Do not play here if you are a Veteran!

My friends and I decided to play a new course for Veteran's Day this year. Two of us are active duty and the others were Army Veterans. The initial interaction with the pro shop was unpleasant but we moved on. After playing a couple holes, the ranger came around and rudely hassled us about playing with 5 players. We were the only people within site on the course! On the turn, I stopped in the pro shop to talk about the interaction. The associate that I talked to immediately accused me of lying and rudely interrupted me every time that I tried to talk. During the back nine holes, they had a ranger watching us the entire time. I mean the entire time! I stopped into the pro shop one more time after the round and expressed my disappointment with everything and the guy at the counter just smiled and nodded at me. My friends and I were just trying to play golf to celebrate Veteran's Day and this course ruined it!. I will never play there again, nor will my friends. Very disappointed.

Silver Dollar

Only 9 holes open out of 27, I would rate this as a beginners course not well kept, there is a rifle range in the next field with shots going off regularly. No sign of any wildlife.

A great place to practice

This is a great course to try that new driver or that 6 iron you never use, You can also recover very easily from a bad shot. I enjoyed the course.

No. No. And did I say no?

The fact that this property carried 3.6 out of 5 stars at the time of my review is truly an embarrassment. Only way this place would be worthy of that rating would be from people who don't know what a true four-star golf course is...or a three-star course...or even a two-star course. The fact that Silver Dollar is referred to as "scenic" in the description on this website is laughable. There is absolutely nothing to look at except the trailer park that borders the golf course. Well, there is the horribly maintained chain link fence that actually borders one of the first fairways. Golf carts are skeletons (no windshields, club covers or GPS), tee boxes have few flat spots and the course design offers nothing of significance. Somehow, this place made me feel like I had played golf at a flea market. Sure, the greens on the Panther nine were in good shape. However, just having some well-maintained greens does not make up for all the obvious shortcomings in every other category. If you take any pride in where you play golf, you do not belong here at any price.

1st Time Back in a Few Months and..............

And it was great! What a difference from the winter months. The course was green and well kept. The greens were in excellent shape. A huge improvement from when I played here in April. In April the fairways were in poor shape and the greens were terrible. I'm glad to see this golf course looking so green and lush. Lots of wildlife running around. Gators on the Gator course and bring your big stick for the back to back par 5's #16 and #17. I enjoyed my last round played out here on July 7th so much that when I saw a hot deal for Sliver Dollar again $12 bucks, I booked it immediately .

A great course for a casual player

Excellent course maintenance and landscaping. Plenty of water hazards which add to the esthetics of the course (and challenges). We really liked the big green umbrellas along the course.
