We can then all over the course Photo submitted by Gilbert3585586 on 05/27/2013
have played here many times before. the course was in good shape. will play again if the rates ever go down.
Silver Dollar Panther-Gator
Course was in pretty rough shape. Fairways had many bare spots and little grass. Greens were a bit bumpy and slow. Lack of rain in the area has not helped this course. I like it though as it is plenty long and requires good shot making. Just needs to get back in shape as it usually is much better. I've played here many times and it normally is in better shape.
Nice Day Inspite of Golf
Panther was dry, fairways a bit rough, greens ok. Gator wa in much better shape, both fairways and greens good. We played Panther for the front, Gator for the back. In spite of the better conditions on Gator, my game was worse!
Waste of time and money
I’ve played several courses in poor condition, and this is by far the worst I’ve ever played. To pay any more than $10 to play here is highway robbery. It’s an insult to even call it a golf course. Tee boxes and “fairway” are either sand, dirt, or 4 inch tall grass. Greens are horrendous. Played here 3-4 times on all of the different course options they have, and the poor quality is the same for all of them. DO NOT GO HERE. It is a total waste of money.
It was ok.
Fairways were full of weeds and bare spots but it looks like they are trying to take care of them.
Terrible
You get what you pay for. Horrible course if your a decent golfer. Bad everything
Horrible
1st 2 holes they had to spots cut real low and they placed a flag and cup, needless to say unputtable. Every green for the most part were diseased. If they had sanded the greens it would have helped the ball roll instead of jumping to the hole. Yardage markers if you were lucky to find ones were guess work on distance to the green. Over all just pusspoor condition.
Turf needs help
This is an old favourite of ours!
What happened????
Worst I play.
Last year this time was OK. Now this course should be close . Is not fair paying over $30 . Do not play there. You be sorry
Poorly Managed Course, Not Well Maintained
I want to like this course because the layout has potential, but so frequently it is poorly maintained. Not just one area, but the entire course. The pro shop staff are never friendly and quite unwelcoming(all other staff are polite). This past weekend was it for me. Tee boxes were under maintenance amd they had you hitting out of the rough. A 12 year old with a push mower could have at least helped a bit. Fairways are basically first cut. Greens were like mowed down weeds and surprisingly mushy despite having no rain. Really disappointed.
Save your $$$
Avoid until late 2024, under repair. Tee boxes under repair, greens are being seeded, fairways are like rough. Greens are not puttable, hit off better fairways than their current greens. One time and I'm sure in a year or two, will again be a nice course.
Course conditions
UnFortunately, there was temporary tees and the greens were very spotty when the course conditions are better which they have been in the past it’s worthwhile
Course condition
The course was in the worst condition I have ever seen it in
