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
If you’re looking for a casual round of golf, this is the place for you. If you’re a serious golfer, not for you.
Nice course for the money.
Challenging course with hazards left and right. Greens a little rough right now but course is in great shape.
Greens were soft and green
Greens are awesome, sponges and better than some of the more renowned courses I have played. This was my first time here, and they could not have been more patient with my teammate, who was learning after a 20 year layoff. Fairways we nice, a bit too much water for a beginner, but definitely a lot of wildlife, breezes and calm play. Nice quiet afternoon.
Silver Dollar is worth the money
My wife and friends of ours were just out there Saturday October 3rd. Fairways could still use some work but the greens were in good shape bunkers were raked and everything else was in decent shape. The staff there is great and the carts are newer. If your golf course doesn't need to be perfectly manicured then Silver Dollar is reasonably priced and more than playable.
Tee boxes need work
Fairways and greens in good condition. The tee boxes are terrible. They are torn up, hardly any grass and hard to find a level surface.
Still an excellent course and great value. Best carts around.
Florida Golf!
My wife and I played the Gator and The Panther for the first time. We do not live that far from the course so I am embarrassed to say it was our first time. I wasn't really expecting much thinking it was a pitch and put type of course. Boy was I wrong. This golf course is all you can handle. Small and elevated greens on the Gator! A mixture of holes, from short par threes's to monster par fives (595).
There is a sense of order to this course which has no broken tees on the tees and no trash on the course. The names of each nine fits Florida and this course is Florida!
GreatValueRoughTooLong
We enjoyed our round. The roug, however, needed a lower setting on the mower. We lost balls just off the fairway.
Terrible condition
Haven't played this course in several years.. Now I know why ! Terrible condition.. Won't play this course again.
Silver
Fairways were a little lengthy. Needed to be mown. Greens were pretty good. Some tee boxes a little patchy. Overall pretty good. Of course wet this time of year here in FL.
