Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Bobcat/Gator Course

First time playing this course. Staff was friendly, rangers really nice. No real surprises on this course. Greens well maintained. Some long par 5s. Overall, a pretty straight forward course. Some risk/reward holes: an example is #1 take long over the left boundary fence to cut the corner for a wedge into the green. I will play here again. Good value.

I am a high handicapper so this course suits me. Greens easy to read. Not a lot of water or bunkers in play. It's a little out of the way so it is perfect for a quick round in the afternoon.

hit the ball straight and you will not have to search for a ball three feet off the fairway. in the tall grass.the greens, though a little slow ran consistent . the sand traps could use some sand. the fairways were in good shape and the ground crews were everywhere. a good value for the price. don't play after too much rain, the course can get real soggy.

the greens are good. the signs need fixing and also the trail bridge that goes to the back 9.

The roughs were too high and you could lose your ball if you were a foot off the fairway. In there defense we have had an unusual amount of rain recently and I'm sure they have fallen behind. I would go back and play again and it's a good hour drive for me.

Course had been taking rain late at night all week. It was soggy. No signs for 90 degree rule so the fairways looked like a racetrack. Even with the water though course was great. excellent greens. bunkers were pretty hard packed. some narrow fairways make you trust your driver.

The course is somewhat challenging in regard to lay out. I have goofed there a couple times and the greens have been fabulous every time. The staff is very hospitable and friendly.

Great course for those trying to straighten out their shots. Plenty of room to help clean up your driver/woods.

Good variety of sand traps ,water hazzards, and doglegs. Greens are beautiful and fast. Gun range across the street a little distracting, unless you like the sound of gunfire thru out your entire round. Do not remember gun fire two years ago when I discovered this course. Three nines and only played the gator and panther twice.

The only reason I played silver dollar was because of the proximity to my home. I've played there several times over the last two years, with each time being the worst. I hardly ever review a course. I don't think it's fair to make a judgement based on one visit. In my honest opinion the silver dollar is no more then a long field with a slightly elevated putting surface if you can even call it that. My balls would hit the green below the pin, bounce anywhere from 4-8 feet high depending on what club I was hitting. It's an incredible sight to watch a ball bounce serval feet higher then the pin when hitting from 150 yards and in. The staff isn't very friendly. And don't forget that there is a shooting club attached to the silver dollar just across the street. All you hear are the sounds of 12gauges going off in the near distance. I understand that it's a retirement community. This place is just all around terrible. I'll never waste my money there again. And I would suggest that you just drive to the Eagles and pay the extra $20 or $30 to play on a real golf course.

The greens were In great condition with plenty of water hazards making for good golf.

The course, overall, was Hard as a ROCK. Forget about taking a divot or stopping the ball on the green, unless you using a putter.

Course was a good challenge but fair. There was a two club wind blowing, making one of the par-5s (the regulars call it the "Z" hole) VERY difficult at 580 from the whites.

Overall, course was in average condition. Tee boxes were well used, greens rolled well. It was a fun layout, with a good mix of doglegs and straight holes, and with woods, traps, and water all coming into play at various times.

Though walking is allowed, I highly recommend riding with several 200-300 yard hikes between holes.

Lots and lots of bare spots in fairways, rough and everywhere else. Green were decent but fast , a little bumpy

The weather was beautiful even after heavy rains the course was in good condition and the greens are nice. The long par 3s and 5s make this a challenging course, but if you're not perfect off of the tee it's still playable so that helps some.

Great value for the money and they run on-time with very little waiting.

Enjoyed the round. Play had a good pace. The layout and length of the holes created a good test of golf skills.

Greens where very good.

A lot of doglegs. Unusual layout

The course is no frills and needs a lot of maintenance. Tees boxes are not level and full of divots, greens rolled good but again have unrepaired ball marks and spike marks, and fairways need some over seeding. Great course for beginners. The staff were great.

Good value for the money. Course is in good shape.
