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
Just Book It
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.
MEH!!
Nothing against it , but very dry, greens were ok but not alot of attentive care give to course overall.
Good little track.
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.
Still a good place to play
Greens were excellent but aprons were saturated. Otherwise great as always.
Nice course. Get used to gun fire.
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.
Still a good place to play
Course was a little more crowded than normal. Played gator panther. Play kept moving. Course muddy in some areas.
Good Course/Good Value
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!
Much improved
This course used to be in terrible shape. But over the last year they made some great improvements. Especially the greens there as good as any. Fairways need a little bit of work but not bad overall really good course. The layout is interesting and challenging. Make sure you pick the right tea box.
A long course but less crowded
Played gator (9 holes ) and panther (9 holes). Course was muddy in spots, but greens were good and fast.
!6th & 17th holes(panther) are par 5"s and fairly long.
Started 12:50 and finished at 5 pm.
Greens have improved tremendously
Well since I've had the chance to play this course but I was pleasantly surprised with the work they've been doing with the greens. on the day I played they were extremely quick but well manicured and impressive. Then a good job improving this course.
