Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Panther/Bobcat Course

Course was rough. Greens had stuff on them that affected the roll. Could be dead spots or weeds. Tee boxes in rough shape.

The course hosts a skeet shooting range. Same area as the driving range. There was a competition there today.... LOUD.... all day.....Usually golfers play the Gator and Panther courses (both 9 holes) for the 18. Due to the shooting we were directed towards the Panther course for the back nine. Course was very dry due to the present drought here in Florida. Greens were OK, but some fairways were not so good.

Went to have a fun round but the course has never looked this bad. The greens were only green because they were painted. The tee boxes were mostly sand boxes and all uneven.

Wet and rough fairways, some greens are okay, others in sad shape, some greens the flag pole does not fit into the cup properly. Sad tee boxes. Still fun

This is my 2nd visit to Silver Dollar in less than a year, my 1st visit the course was in very good condition, played the Gator & the Panther. Played the same 2 nines this time, completely different course. Fairways were in good condition although a lot of bare areas. The greens the 2nd time, greens were terrible. You ball bounced around like it was inside a pinball machine, very disappointed with the greens. The putting green, very good condition, led you to believe the greens would be a reflection of the condition of the putting green, Far from it. Based on this visit, would not recommend to a friend and probably will not be returning myself.

We decided to play last minute and booked an 11:20am tee time. Got to the course - bought lunch - and headed to the first hole. The starter offered us Bobcat instead of Gator since Gator was stacked up with a threesome and twosome in front of us.

We played Bobcat in about 1:20 minutes -never waited until #7. We finished up - and went to slide onto Gator - but there was a wait. Asked if we could play Bobcat again and played it in about 1:15. Never waited until #8. Course was in good shape. Greens were quick. Bunkers were raked but the sand was hard pack. Playing 18 in February under 3 hours - priceless. We will be back.

Some of the holes (tee boxes, fairways, greens) were great. Others were frankly horrible.

First drive past the pro shop to a second lot otherwise you walk 600 yards to the cart shop and then again back to your car. The staff was friendly. The pace of play was excellent. 3:15. The greens were bumpy and pace was uneven. The cups were sloppy. But the price was commensurate. There is a lot of water that you don’t see until you are in it. I would give them a second chance in April/May

The reviews do not do this course justice. Very scenic course! The course has some soggy areas, but not in the areas you should be playing. The greens are B+ to A- and the fairways are B-. I had a great time with the pace of play!

Conditions were good, some leaves and dampness. Bit slow.

The day we went the course was wet but in good condition

The greens rolled well and were fairly quick

Staff was was very nice and helpful

There are 3 nines

Had a good time

Despite the reviews I played this course. The pro shop staff were a little “snappy” almost rude…….I almost left before paying due to the staffs disposition. Definitely unwelcoming! Made it out to the stater who was definitely a gentleman. I played with some great people which made it fun. The course is soggy for no reason. No recently rain and the course was unplayable in some areas due to the wetness. Layout is fun. Lots of wildlife including alligators. The setting is quirky as it is set amongst mobile homes & rv homes as well as as fairly new community with what I would guess are $800k homes. The “restaurant” is outdated and feels like you’ve stepped back in time. There are 3 - 9 hole courses. They will assign you to one or two depending on if you’re playing 9 or 18. I’ve had better experiences at better courses. With the condition of the course and facilities you’d think the staff would be happy to have patrons.
