Rating 71.0

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.

Great layout, not great shape

I love the layout at Silverthorn. There are very challenging holes and a great variety of dog legs and risk/reward opportunities. I remember playing it 25 years ago when it was immaculatley maintained. I wish I could saty that now. I have played it 4 or 5 times in the past year and keep going back becasue of the layout and the price. However in all the times that I have played it recently, I have yet to see a golf maintanance worker on the course. The bunkers are never raked, the fairways are sparse,, the collars and aprons are terrible, the tee boxes are average on a good day and the greens, normally good are showing some wear lately. I wish they would spent some money on grass seed and fertilizer. Those two items alone would greatly improve the experience.

Fun day

First time playing the course. Wife and I teamed up with two people who have played the course before. That really helped as there is trouble in key areas of the course. My wife really enjoyed playing as the red tee’s did get some great placements to shorten when needed and take “some” of the water out of play. We put this course on our lists of play again!!

It was freezing.

We made a mistake playing that day. It was cold and wet so I can’t really give a fair opinion of the course. The staff was very friendly.

was a cold, windy day. Allowed to tee off early. Front 9 greens are mostly small and significant slope. Played white tees but course has two more shorter sets. Lots of room on most fairways but some require a proper lay-up to avoid hazards. Great value for our money.

A course to play

I've played this course a few times and its has some great greens (some quite large) and there are a few places that you need to play to a layup but over all if you are near there I would say play it !

Worth the play for the right price

This course is no Pinehurst by any means but for a cheap and quick round this is most definitely not a bad course to play. I can’t recall too many memorable holes but I know there were some good ones. Overall it’s a pretty generic course but I had a great time playing it.

Played at 8AM and we had a fantastic time. Greens were in good condition and so were fairways, some tee boxes were sandy. Good mix of challenging holes, like the almost 600 yarder. Just play it.
