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
Silver Dollar
Course is a different layout with some unexpected hazards. Greens are faster than you perceive. The staff was rude and unaccommodating.
Horrible experience
The course was way overbooked, the fairways are horrible and the greens were just ok. We had to wait on every hole and play was so slow.
I wouldn’t pay $25 to play this course again, let alone
$50
Solid Course - Good for multiple skill levels
First time playing this course and I left satisfied. I brought my girlfriend, who is a beginner, out to get her some course practice. The set up and multiple tee boxes ensured we both had fun. There are fun par 5's, tricky par 3's, and everything in between.

water water
water is the big challenge for the course. i played gold tees and there was still a lot of water in play. from the whites or blues it would be very difficult.
Course far expected expectations. 3 nines. Gator 9 the best, Panther then Bobcat. Played 27 and all greens roll true and are in great conditions. Tees are a little thin.. Excellent staff. A joy to play.

Fairways very little grass however greens were good . The course overall in poor shape . The fairways thin rough areas burnt out . Pace of play good off course great. Staff great . Have players due 90 % overseed and water . Course good be really good .
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.
