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.

NOT FRIENDLY
I arrived early and was told to check in 15 minutes prior to my T-time. No doubt because I booked through Golf Now. When I did check in the group I was supposed to play with had already started.
While I waited to T off I picked up a bucket of balls. The driving range was terrible. No distance markers and the whole place is covered in broken clay pigeons because the driving range is also used for skeet shooting.
Not likely I would play there again.
Not well care for...
No one toll us there was a trap shooting contest going on...Shotgun blast going off all day..staff in pro shop rude..lots of hidden hazards ..nothing marked on course.no thanks ...won't be back....
REVIEW GOLF AND TRAP
COURSE IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT FROM THE STANDARD TEES GREAT VALUE AND PACE OF PLAY
SilverDollar Golf
Course was in nice shape and pace of play was comfortable. Greens were fast probably due to dry weather conditions.
Greens were in great shape. Fairways and rough not so much.
Executive Course Great for Beginners
Just started to learn the game and have been playing now for over 6 months. The executive course is really nice for beginners like me because of the many Par 3’s. I enjoy this course very much.
Members rule
For the low to mid 20s in price this is worth the money, but be prepared for the local members who defiantly run the course. I saw & played behind groups as large as 6, that said since these old guys play from the womens tee play still moves okay. The track is in fair to good condition & having 3 nines is great to help speed up play. The folks who work here are nice & the foods is good.
Silver Dollar
It was a really fun round at Silverdollar. There wasn’t a lot of people on the course. The course is a little tight from green to tee boxes ,but everyone was respectful and the pace of play was pretty good. A lot of good sites on the course like ospreys, hawks, gators, and even turkeys. The course was in mostly good condition with some patchy areas of grass. The restaurant in the pro shop is very good and got a breakfast sandwich at the turn which was awesome. Overall very good experience and I will definitely be back.
Friendly Staff
The people were very nice. The course need some attention on the greens and around the greens as the carts have hardened the areas immediately surrounding the greens.
This course has a few tough, challenging holes that makes you want to come back at best them
Course was in good shape
Greens a little fast
6400+ from the blues
Pace was good - better than average
Got to see more than a few alligator
