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.

Silver Dollar Outing
Yet another terrific outing on a challenging course, which was our third in as many days.
Friends from Canada totally enjoyed the layout and challenge of the course. Staff was friendly and welcoming as well!! Just an overall great day. No delays, no pushing, no waiting, just couldn't ask for better.
If you wanna get out and swing a club
Been playing this course for about 10-15 years and while it is better than the cow pastures we used to compare it to it still should only be played for a good price compared to other courses around it like the eagles, Wentworth, crescent oaks, seven springs, etc. The staff is friendly and helpful and having 9-hole courses does help mix it up if you play here a lot but they send you off the Gator course 1st 8 out of 10 times.
Tee boxes are either fine or horrible, no real in-between, fairways are pretty decent except for a few holes, some greens are patchy and if you end up on the fringe good luck chipping off that hard pan. I wouldn't have paid for the round if any other course had earlier times available and everything else around it wasn't 20-30 more. I would ONLY recommend it if it was worth the savings or if you are just going out there to swing a club and hang out with friends.
Silver Dollar Win
Enjoyed playing this course especially the pace of play and the reasonable green/cart fee. Greens were very consistent and in good shape.
Great course
It's now only been the 2nd time that I've been to this course but the starters and the staff in the pro shop and restaurant are amazing. The coarse conditions are well maintained and the holes are challenging. I feel like a being treated like a professional being there even though I'm just an amateur. It's such a fun course that I wanted to run it back another 18 holes but didn't have enough daylight, keep up the good work
disappointing
the layout is OK but the condition of the grounds, especially the greens were sub par.
A few good greens, Most bumpy and weedy
Fairways not too bad in most areas. Greens, with a few exceptions, need work to eliminate weeds and bare spots. Did not recommend because there are better conditions in the same area for the same price.
Good value
Greens fees are better than average. Pace of play was generally good. Greens are consistent and fair. As usual, fairways lacked grass cover in many areas. My expectations were realized…Again, good value for the $
Worst course I have even played . It was a cool day so not many people done in 3 hrs thank god. Weeds in the greens non existent fairways and the worst tees I’ve ever seen . If they paid me I wouldn’t play it again
100% BETTER!
This course is usually an ok course to play. Staff is always amazing but wow guys I’m telling you this course has gotten 1000% better the greens and fairways are AMAZING!!! If you’ve played it before and weren’t wow’d play it now!!
Pace slow
Waited every hole. Sometimes 3 groups waiting at holes to shoot. No staff out there to fix. Left after 14 holes.
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.
