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
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.
Friendly staff, good course conditions.
Greens were in good shape and rolled nicely, most tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were nice too. Played all 27 holes today and it was smooth sailing, will play here again.
Great Value
Wide open, my boys can crush the ball in (m)any direction. Good, long course.
Beautiful, Fun and challenging course
Great course. Really enjoyed our round of golf. Staff in the pro shop is a little grumpy and.unhappy though.
Pretty good value
Course was reasonably priced - $25/person including cart, taxes, etc. Greens were postage stamps for the most part. It was sometimes hard to find truly flat ground on some tee boxes. Course had some pretty soaked wet spots, and a number of shots where you can’t tell whether there is water there or not. Not an easy course for beginners, but other than the above it was in reasonably good shape. Staff was very friendly. Not the greatest course, but I would go back again.
Great Place
This gem of a course is hidden just outside Tampa. Three 9 hole courses on property. We enjoy playing here. Will be back soon.
Yes then No
I like this course for the money however I have a beef concerning the carts. When golf courses were allowed to reopen all of the courses I played had rules in place to keep the patrons as safe as possible. This included 1 person per golf cart. Now that we're in phase 3 of re-opening this course seems to think that social distancing is no longer a thing. We specifically asked if it was one person per cart and they said yes but if we wanted to ride together then take a cart that has the divider in it. Well we took individual carts and as we were teeing it up to tee off here comes the ranger telling us that we HAD to be in one cart. We specifically asked that question to start with. Seems as though they changed their mind and now they want to charge us another $10 each for individual carts. There was a single that we let play through and I asked him if he had to pay an extra $10 for his cart and he said NO. After the round I asked about this anomaly and the answer they gave is "that's what corporate decided". I said when, just now. What a bunch of BS. They did have new carts though. Maybe this is how they help pay for them.
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.
