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.

Golfer Reviews
Bad time to play this course
The course is a mess. The fairways are flooded, the greens are terribly slow, the course is being lessened so it is not laid out like the card, you have to wander around searching for the next tee, and the mosquito swarms are deadly. It's a nice course normally, but it is a mess right now!
Needs work
The course definitely needs work. Many holes were closed due to mud overseeding. Several greens had bald spots. Had to re-play 3 holes due to closures.
This course has been in MUCH better shape before.
Won’t go back
Course was in very rough shape, they appear to be doing some work on it but it will take a long time to get it in nice shape. We’ve played a lot of golf and never had a course as bad as this one.
Barely Playable
There should be clear communication on the website and on golf now that this course is currently in redevelopment . Course was confusing, grass was overgrown, t boxes were bumpy, uneven and dirt, greens were over grown. Very disappointing that I played regular price for this course.
Friendly Staff
Great staff.
Under construction and did not know before arrival. Very confusing as we had to play all three 9s not in order.
BRING WATER!!! The water was disgusting!
The staff make you feel like a member
The course is undergoing some repairs to a portion of its 27 holes however they have done a wonderful job patching together 18 holes of fantastic layout. I felt like I was on a members only facility and the scenery was amazing. It’s not in excellent condition yet but well worth the time and inexpensive both at the pro shop and in the dining area
Good round
The course has greatly improved now the rains hsve slowed down and they have mowed almost all of the course. The summer improvement program seems to be working. The crew at Silver Dollar are nice and friendly. Would give 5 stars if the entire course gets mowed every week and the tee boxes improve.
Played 18 holes (a little on each corse)
So, we hit some balls at practice range. Go to starter & are informed that we have the pleasure if playing on all 3 courses due to work being done on greens throughout the club. Well, knowing where to hit the ball became a huge challenge.Anyway, I did get all 18 holes in & greens we played on were in good shape.
