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
Great for the money!!
The Greens were exceptionally true, great undulations. Very nice layout, just needs a bit of TLC. Regardless, I will be back !!
much better
Much better this time. Booked a hot deal, had a reward to use. Staff was nice, had lunch and a drink. Was able to get out and enjoy a round of golf after taking care of my condo the last 4 days.
Nice staff, decent course
Staff was very friendly and pace of play was good. No one was riding our tail the whole round but course was pretty busy. Greens weren’t in great shape and were inconsistent. Fairways were in nice shape.
Play all 27
Your here for 9 or 18? You have a cart try all three in a day. 27 holes with plenty of challenges along the way. Cold beer great food and a lot of fun. Nice Driving range, pitch/chip area, and putting practice.
Great value for the money
This course was very nice. We went out at 7:50 AM on Saturday. We ended up doing the round in 3.5 hours. Even still, we had a regular group doing a scramble right behind us because they were playing from the forward tees, but they were polite and never said anything. Course was quite nice and in very good shape, especially for this price point. It was very open and not terribly challenging, though there were some pieces of water that were a little nasty. You did get quite a bit of noise from the trap shooting next door. The course layout was fairly weird with 3 different 9 hold courses and some of them laid out weird, but it wasn't too difficult to figure out where to go. All in all I would definitely come back.
Great course with awesome staff!!
I played on 12-2-21 and immediately re-booked another round for 12-4-21. Pace was great, never rushed or waited too long for the group ahead. Pro shop attendant AND the starter were very accommodating to our group. Course provides challenging holes and elevated greens with slope. Bunker sand was very playable, unlike a lot of courses lately. I'd recommend this course to anyone looking for a new spot to try. Driving range is nice too!
Don't do it
Not sure how this course is anything more than 2. It's like playing in the middle of a cow pasture. There's no difference between the ruff and fairway. Could be a good course if tons of money put in to maintenance.
Greens in rough shape
I always have a great time here. This was no exception - But for $40 I expect the course to be in at least decent shape. 3/4 of the greens have weeds growing out of them, making putting a nightmare. I hope it's temporary.
Greens
The course is as it is usually with exception of the greens. There in terrible condition mostly weeds and bumper than you could imagine. Too bad I have used this course as a favourite for the past few years.
Fun course
Played in a group of 10. Went off as two threesomes and one foursome. Pro shop staff were great. No starter. We started at 0850. Finished at about 1:00pm. The driving range was closed due to recent geavy rain. Only three holes were cart path only. The fairways were in good shape. The rough was cut so you could find a stray shot. The greens were very fast. The Beverage cart came by at the 14th and 18th hole. I would play this course again any time.
Everything but the course is great
The staff was friendly and they had cheap food and snacks. Everything else was terrible. Considering the cost compared to other courses, this is by far over priced (don’t let the pictures or reviews convince you otherwise).
The course was very sandy and the fairways and greens were in terrible shape. Even after all the rain we’ve had, the course looked dry and burnt. There are basically 3, 9 hole courses that are mixed and matched and the directions/maps are a bit confusing.
It was also not relaxing as there is a shooting range next door. The entire 18 we heard nothing but gunshots.
