Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Panther/Bobcat Course
About
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.

We can then all over the course Photo submitted by Gilbert3585586 on 05/27/2013
they were working on some holes
Cheap is about the only good thing greens were not to bad
Everyone working there from the proshop to the bar was very friendly.
The entire staff was friendly. There is some long and challenging par 5s. The course had experienced a lot of rain in recent days so it had some wet areas. But all and all, I was very pleased with my experience.
Average at best
Average at best. Paid $10.00 a person to play and I wouldn't pay any more than that. Some really wonkie holes. Needs a little maintenance. Clubhouse is average at best as well. Not worth paying full price to play.
I wont go back.
3 9 holes courses helps with pace of play, however this was not a course I would recommend or return to. Several of the tee box's had zero grass on them all sand the course was very beat up with a lot of dead spots in the grass. not maintained well at all. Fun layout if they ever get the course in better shape.
Really friendly staff here!
This course is a hidden gem and the best in the area!
We love playing this course. The course is in great shape despite all the rain we've been having. We had no one in front or in back of us for at least 9 holes and had a cart behind us on the second nine that preferred to play back of us despite our waving him on in front. Greens were slow (which I liked) again, due to the rain, but this course is ideal to get away from the crowds of Countryway etc. and hope to see more play next time as it is only right that Silver Dollar command a bigger presence in the area. Will definitely be back. 27 holes to choose from - GREAT!
Several Holes really make the course
The course was in nice shape, we played 2 of the 3 nines and the pace was very nice. It was our first time there and knowing the layout better would have helped with layup shots and some corners. Several holes required club management and flying the water, these of course added to the challenge. Most fairways were open and forgiving. My son is a big hitter and could let out the shaft on most holes and then use a more controlled club on some. The women's tees were more than fair and my wife enjoyed the round very much.
We really enjoyed our experience and all three of us would gladly play the course again.
Siver dollar has several challenging holes.
Always enjoy playing at Silver Dollar. With the two courses you have options and never backed up. The pace is always excellent and thecourses are always well maintained.
Don't like ,we had to play back to back two front 9
We had two front 9 of the Gator course and front 9 of the Boccast course it was difficult to keep tracking our score in our GPS
good course for the money and long par 5's
they are taking good care of the course good value for the money
This course makes a day of golf fun and challenging.
If you want a day of long drives and challenging courses them this is the place. I will be back
Worth the drive.
Worth the drive from Tampa. Great course in good condition. 27 holes with lots of variety. Most have opportunities to recover from bad shots, but a couple of the par 5s are very difficult. Don't expect to retrieve wet balls; the ponds are dark and deep.
Nice course, friendly starter, ranger. Enjoyed the day
Nice course friendly starter and ranger. Nice people great location
Great course and great value for the money charged !!!!
It truly has a great 4 & 3/4 stars !!! The 1/4 point deduction is for the tee boxes for the men. There shouldn't be a hump like a camel right up the middle ! Hard to find a level driving stance !
Grounds crew needs to spread some dirt
Far,far,far too many exposed grounds and tree roots!
needs work
needs lots and lots of work (the course), ...unless your deadly accurate and a flawless player.
Enjoyable round of golf
Course was not busy due to the cold/windy condition, so the pace of play was our own. Well maintained course, but I don't like an in-course out-of-bounds as on hole #8.
The staff was much more friendly than our visit last year when we were admonished for paying such a low rate.
This course is a lot of fun
Plays long and you need to really place your shots. I like the scenery as well not in neighborhood. Greens in good shape. Fairways are just fine.
Greens in good condition and with contour and lots of water to deal with
Decent challenge, whites make it moderate while the blues make some second shots a challenge to make the greens.
Great course which is in very good condition
I have played this course a number of times on my trips from the UK. I have always found it to be in good condition but this time it was ecellent. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. I was allowed to tee off early to keep clear of a competition and so not be held up. All in all a great experiance.
Good value for the money!
Played this course after the arrival of the Snow Birds and was amazed that the pace of play was very good. The course was in reasonable condition and the greens were good but a bit slow due to the over-seeding. It is a fun course and not too tough, just about right for high to mid handicappers.
