Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course

Greens on Gator had a lot of foreign grass .

Fairways were mediocre. Tees were poor

This clubhouse is right in the middle of an over 55 and RV community but once you're out on the course it's all woods until you get back around to start the back nine then it's woods again. There are 3 nine hole courses here and you'll play 2 of them to make up an 18 hole round. Either the Gator-Panther, the Gator-Bobcat, or the Panther-Bobcat. I've always played the Gator-something, and can't remember ever playing the Panther-Bobcat together. Not sure why.

The greens were outstanding today. They were pretty fast and very smooth. A few of the tee boxes had some thin grass issues but for the most part the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. The course was a little soft and we had several balls plug on the Gator course which was our front nine. The Panther course was firmer and we didn't have any problems there unless we got near the water hazards.

Silver Dollar is also known for their Trap & Skeet Club across the street from the course so if the sound of shotguns blasting away at clay targets bothers you then this might not be the place for you. It usually isn't bad, and some day's not at all but today there were a few shooters enjoying the weather. To be fair it's only on the part of the course that's by the road that you can really hear the shooting. There's no danger of getting shot because the Trap range faces away from the course. So don't let that deter you.

The course is pretty wide open but there are a few challenging holes that require precise shots to prevent a high score. Overall I like this course. They have new carts which are very nice and the Pro Shop and Restaurant is nice too. There's plenty of room to social distance. To me the only knock against this course is they will charge you $10 extra per person for separate carts if you want to social distance. Most courses I play at only charge 1 ten dollar fee to split carts. Just about all courses are doing this now and I don't agree with it especially if we are under a mandate to social distance. To me it's like gouging but that's just my opinion and you may feel differently about it. I would still recommend this course regardless.

About half the greens were nice the others were ok, but not bad. The course was in decent shape throughout and considering the price it was a good deal. One of the par 5’s is quite challenging due to the 2 doglegs. It was first time back in about 3 years, so enjoyed playing it again.

Fairways and areas around green like hitting off concrete. Lots of bare spots. Greens are the only thing that’s in good shape. Nice place to have a beer & lunch afterwards. Cheap price, but I’d pay more for better conditions. Moving on to better courses.

The course is in good shape & the greens are better than most. That said by far the reason to play here is they have a starter who pairs players up & they have 3 9s, so play doesn't back up. So nice to see a course that simply won't allow play to backup because there are way too many groups of 2. The tee boxes are in rough shape, but who cares.

Nothing against it , but very dry, greens were ok but not alot of attentive care give to course overall.

The course was very wet and swampy, but we played early in the morning.

The greens were fantastic and the staff were amazingly friendly.

Difficult lay out. Probably the worst score of my last few years, but fun and challenging.

Greens were excellent but aprons were saturated. Otherwise great as always.

Tee boxes could use work but nice course overall. Layout was different with some unique holes. Nice restaurant attached and is in a nice little snowbird neighborhood. The shooting club next door was busy so you get used to the gun fire during your swings. My game was bad but not due to that. Played on 1/1 but app won’t let me submit for 2021.

Course was a little more crowded than normal. Played gator panther. Play kept moving. Course muddy in some areas.

Played 18 holes with my son today. Down here on vacation and used the Golf Now App. Found this course (and many others) but really liked this layout. 27 hole course and we played the Panther and the Gator. Nice views, challenging course and the Gator was really long. My son and I really enjoyed that. Greens were tight on par 3's and we liked that too. Course was just a bit soggy in spots, but other than that, we really enjoyed it!
