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.

John from MI

The tee boxes were mostly sand (not good) The greens on the Gator were very spotty but no bare spots normal speed. The tee boxes on the Panther were better but not much The greens on the Panther were much better than the Gator. Flat course the ball would roll for ever. There were not markers on the tee boxes indicating water in play around the green . I might come back because the price was right to see if it looks better in the summer

SUbjective course selection

The pace of this course was exceedingly slow. I feel the reason for this was the starter made almost all players go off the Gator course. The Bobcat course was empty and he let 2 couples go off this 9 in the hour that we had to wait. Perhaps he was instructed to do this but it made no sense since the Gator was overbooked and so very slow.

Course was OK

For the money, the course was pretty much what was expected. Tee boxes and fairways weren’t the best but the greens were decent. Biggest downfall for me was that there was a skeet shooting event that was going on all day. Most of the holes played away but it was just odd to me to have the event at a golf course. Probably would not have played if I would have know that. But the staff were all helpful and friendly. I would recommend IF there is no skeet shooting going on the day you plan to book.

Is this a shooting range or a golf course?

There was a big shooting event there with hundreds of competitors and shotgun blasts going on every 4 seconds or so. With that said the course was ok, good greens but rock hard fairways and some goofy holes,especially # 3 on the Panther course where a large oak tree is less than 100 yards in front of the tee box directly in line with the fairway that sports OB on the left and H20 on the right. . The person in the pro shop was arrogant and condescending. That said, I will be back but not until the shooting event is over. Hopefully the pro shop will have gone to "smile school" and treat customers like customers by then and not like we are an obstacle in their quest to have a nice day personally

Greens were course and hard and were not receptive to good chip shots. Sand would splash on the green similar to a sand trap. Driving range closed for skeet shooting competition. Not worth the money.

Trap Shooting - beware!

This golf course doubles as a trap shooting club. As nice as the course is playing right now, the constant firing of shot guns really detracts from the enjoyment of your round. We happen to hit the jackpot today as they were running a trap shooting tournament. The noise was brutal and therefore, the golf should have been half-price. You definitely want to call ahead and check on their trap shooting tournament schedule.

Gator/panther

Nice course. 8th hole on Gator is a double dogleg par 5. Very tough hole from the blue tees. Nice course for the price.

Nice greens

It was a cooler day so play was quick. However, we were restricted to playing just one of the three 9-hole courses due to excess water/rain. We were told to play it twice so this was disappointing as we had signed up for an 18 hole golf course. And there was no consideration or discount offered for this short coming.

Best shape in long time

Today I played Silver Dollar for the first time in about a year and was very impressed with the shape the course was in, Tee Box, fairways and greens were excellent. I played Gator/Panther. For those who don’t know this course is made up of three (3) par nine (9) courses the third (3) course is the Bobcat which is shortest of the three

Fun course.

It is a fun course but by no means an easy course.. A little confusing layout for a first time player on this course but we were able to figure it out. Looking forward to playing here again.

Florida COurse

This course has 3 nine hole courses. They are beautiful. The Bobcat is idyllic Florida and wildlife is present.

The fairways and the greens are good. The tee boxes are a bit rough but manageable. It is a pleasure to play

Extremely busy but still finished in just over 4 hours

Greens were in great condition. The rest of the course not so good (especially the tee boxes), but overall not terrible considering the price.
