Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course

I will start off with the positives. The greens were fast and smooth, the carts were newer and pace of play was great because as far as we could see, we were two of maybe ten people on the only nine open. Walked into the pro shop, no greeting and had to initiate the conversation. Person behind counter never looked up except to tell me two of the three nines were closed and pointed to a sign confirming. I guess I should have seen it from forty miles away? No update on Golf Now even though he stated they had been closed for quite awhile. This is however a common occurrence as a lot of courses have a distain for golfers who book through GolfNow. Had to let the person know it was our first time and asked if he could tell us the direction of the first tee. The tee boxes were very sparse and one par three had no white markers and some had just one. The fairways were very dry and sparse of grass after the first two holes to where the ball made dust clouds bouncing down the fairway. Had to get creative on approach shots to the small elevated greens to get the ball to not roll off the back. The greens were nice and fast, but rock hard. Overall, this course is probably best to let the locals have as a place to hang out, but not worth it to drive from any distance.

Great round after tons of rain. Staff were cordial and helpful. Biggest mosquitos I’ve ever seen but they left after it warmed up. Bring bug spray and you’ll have a great time.

Least favorite course I’ve played in over 9 years in the Tampa area. The restaurant and bar were fine but the golf staff was horrible. Fairways were unkept, hazards were unmarked, and course was in bad shape. Avoid it.

All the ruff was way to high like it hasn’t been mowed for a month

I haven’t played here in a while. The course is in real good shape.

This course was laid out nicely. The tee marks were marked correctly. We have lots of rain the day before so some of the fairways were a little soggy but that is to be expected with all the rain we had. The course had some challenges to it. We are just starting to get back into playing golf and this 9-hole course was just perfect for us to start out on. Will definitely be going back.

there was nothing that was positive about this course. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, greens and cups seem to have not been attended too in months.

Average public course, no frills. Fairways and greens are okay, I’ve played better but it wasn’t awful. There was one sand trap that was more mud than sand. I had a good enough time, with 27 holes I’d like to see the rest of the course

On the cheaper side but you get what you pay for. Clean greens but weeded fairways

Gator was close due to rain play Panter n Bobcat great pace of play n value for the money course in good shape

I played this course once before and it was in very good condition. This time half of the greens were not very good and the fairways were a little rough. I will try this course again.
