Golfer Reviews
Solid Course - Good for multiple skill levels
First time playing this course and I left satisfied. I brought my girlfriend, who is a beginner, out to get her some course practice. The set up and multiple tee boxes ensured we both had fun. There are fun par 5's, tricky par 3's, and everything in between.

water water
water is the big challenge for the course. i played gold tees and there was still a lot of water in play. from the whites or blues it would be very difficult.
Course far expected expectations. 3 nines. Gator 9 the best, Panther then Bobcat. Played 27 and all greens roll true and are in great conditions. Tees are a little thin.. Excellent staff. A joy to play.

Silver Dollar Outing
Yet another terrific outing on a challenging course, which was our third in as many days.
Friends from Canada totally enjoyed the layout and challenge of the course. Staff was friendly and welcoming as well!! Just an overall great day. No delays, no pushing, no waiting, just couldn't ask for better.
If you wanna get out and swing a club
Been playing this course for about 10-15 years and while it is better than the cow pastures we used to compare it to it still should only be played for a good price compared to other courses around it like the eagles, Wentworth, crescent oaks, seven springs, etc. The staff is friendly and helpful and having 9-hole courses does help mix it up if you play here a lot but they send you off the Gator course 1st 8 out of 10 times.
Tee boxes are either fine or horrible, no real in-between, fairways are pretty decent except for a few holes, some greens are patchy and if you end up on the fringe good luck chipping off that hard pan. I wouldn't have paid for the round if any other course had earlier times available and everything else around it wasn't 20-30 more. I would ONLY recommend it if it was worth the savings or if you are just going out there to swing a club and hang out with friends.
Silver Dollar Win
Enjoyed playing this course especially the pace of play and the reasonable green/cart fee. Greens were very consistent and in good shape.
Great course
It's now only been the 2nd time that I've been to this course but the starters and the staff in the pro shop and restaurant are amazing. The coarse conditions are well maintained and the holes are challenging. I feel like a being treated like a professional being there even though I'm just an amateur. It's such a fun course that I wanted to run it back another 18 holes but didn't have enough daylight, keep up the good work
disappointing
the layout is OK but the condition of the grounds, especially the greens were sub par.
A few good greens, Most bumpy and weedy
Fairways not too bad in most areas. Greens, with a few exceptions, need work to eliminate weeds and bare spots. Did not recommend because there are better conditions in the same area for the same price.
