Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course
About
Located just northwest of Tampa, Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club sprawls across the lush landscape of the west Florida coast. The club offers three nines: the Gator, the Panther, and the Bobcat. The nines can be played individually for a quick round or in three different 18-hole combinations. The Gator/Panther layout offers a good balance of challenges and player-friendly features. Narrow, tree-lined fairways are complemented by generous landing areas. There are sparkling lakes and ponds that come into play on a few holes and strategically placed bunkers are situated along the greensides. In addition to the three golf courses, Silver Dollar boasts one of the area's most extensive practice facilities, which includes a full driving range, two putting greens, a pitching and chipping green with a sandtrap, and three practice holes.

We can then all over the course Photo submitted by Gilbert3585586 on 05/27/2013
Better greens.
Nice course but the greens need some attention. I know it's your winter months.
Course is improving
We played this course last year and some of the fairways were in pretty rough shape. This year they were much better and the greens and surrounding areas were in very good shape even given the dry conditions this fall/winter in FL. It is apparent that they are working on improving this course and it is worth the money to play.
Bumpy greens
Pace of play was fine. The greens are extremely bumpy and will not hold the line. Good place just to do a practice round to work on your game fairways are fine.
Great value
Played 27 holes very fun coarse
staff treated us better than family
gave us many perks and great conversation
will definitely play again when in the area again
thanks guys
Over all conditions
Staff very friendly, starter very friendly. We were , what appeared to be a slower foursome, he started us on a different 9 so we wouldn’t be held up.
Course in very good condition, for this time of year. Most greens were fast, like carpet !
Highly recommend.
Rough Shape
Fortunately this was just a extra round I fit into my schedule at last minute. This was in rough shape. The green were almost unplayable. Some were. It appeared like they have not been cut in a week and never rolled. You know it bad when you have to clean the grass off your putter after each put. There was not a significant difference between fairways and rough. I guess it would be good if you just wanted to hit some balls at targets and have a few beers.
Course is in terrible shape.
Filled with weeds and dead grass. The ground is lumpy.
Silver Dollar
Silver Dollar is a great value course. Excellent staff - friendly and responsive. Range is in good shape and a value. Large bucket $12.50. My wife and I can play 9 holes in less than 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon. By myself mid-week - can play 18 in less than 3 hours. Course is in good shape. A couple of the greens are coming in. Tee boxes and fairways are solid. Greens roll well. Restaurant is a good value and the food excellent. Sandwiches and hotdogs can’t be beat. 27 holes and great value.
Good course had challenges
Played 18 and enjoyed the course very much.
Was in good shape
Bang for the Buck!
Price was right and I’m so glad we booked and played this hidden gem. Staff at clubhouse is Freud my and welcoming, course played great even with a morning scramble going on they were able to accommodate us arriving early for our tea time by playing another one of the 3 courses as our back 9. Course was in good to great shape, some greens are under rebuild and a little “hairy” and some tee boxes need rest, but for the price we got we got a lot of bang for the buck.
Don’t miss the ‘real’ pork tenderloin sammiches and chicken salad sammiches at the clubhouse.
Will be back, this is a hidden gem among many within 40min of Seminole.
If you like guns this is your place
Sad I didn't see a gator on the gator 9
Nor did I see a panther on the panther 9
Shooting range next door, gun shots during the whole round
Tee boxes are whack.
Friendly staff.
Poor conditions
There was about three greens that were fairly good. The rest of them were terrible. They need to learn that they can’t fix everything by soaking everything with water. They have a pour drainage system on the entire course and I don’t know what kind of grass they’re using for the greens but the balls bounce all the way across the green never going to play it again
Good deal
Great price, tough at times, over all, good place to play.
Amazing vibes and solid condition
This place was very welcoming for a newer nervous golfer I was put with the nicest couple that made playing a delight. Staff at the pro shop, grounds and restaurant where awesome and offered amazing service and help
I have played Silver Dollar for several years. It was the course that I learned to play golf on. I haven’t been going there that frequently because the courses are not in very good condition. There are makeshift tee boxes. The fairways are not very good. There is no consistency as far as the greens are concerned. Some are much better than others. I know that they’re doing some work to try to improve the conditions, but I would think that they would be further along since we are coming into the high season where the courses are quite full due to the snowbirds playing.
Meeehh.
Guy behind counter had attitude due to Booking through the Golf Now App they want you to book directly through them. Greens were not in good shape . The rest of the staff was super friendly.
