Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Panther/Bobcat Course

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 The “restaurant” is outdated and feels like you’ve stepped back in time.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.

I hope the mgr Ron sees this and takes it to heart.

Let me start off by saying, I have been in the retail industry for the past 30 years, so I know a thing or two about hospitality.

For the price, you can’t beat this place. It has a great layout generally the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

The greens and fairways can be hit or miss depending on the time of year.

After coming many times in the last several years, the only thing that’s always consistent is what a nightmare that Art in the pro shop treats the guests. I have many friends that live in the community and it’s always the same message with this guy.

He talks down to your clients, he’s very condescending, and overall he’s a complete JERK.

He has NO business dealing with the public, the best place for him in that environment is washing carts.

I can assure you that he is costing you revenue and he puts a bad taste in anyones mouth that has to listen to the garbage that comes from him.

I have wanted to post this multiple times, but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He has zero benefit working in the pro shop and there’s no doubt he’s WORTHLESS working customer service.

I plan on posting this on several websites and getting in contact with the board of the community.

Ron, I want you to know you have a great golf course here in Odessa, but he’s doing nothing but bringing the place down.

Sincerely,

Len Booth

Always enjoy playing here. Course was in good condition. Pace of play was good as well.

have played there many times. great value. would recommend playing.

Nice staff, well maintained course. Greens could have some room for improvement.

Slow,sloppy,hard dirt traps not sand, extremely wet even on the greens, every tee box was uneven and torn up. Played alone and took 4 hrs

Had a great time playing there. Not crowded at all so the pace of play was great.

Greens need some TLC the fairways seemed to be full of ruts or very rough patches of ground. Plus the Gator course was under repair from the recent hurricane Milton. Not too bad for the price I payed for green fees.

Fairways fair. Greens like crab grass. Very bumpy. Not good!
