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.

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
Good Layout
Played for the first tine and very impressed, Well maintained, challenging with doglegs and water. Greens were good and fayrways too, Great value for the fees. Will definitely play again and again.
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.
Not fancy but a good course
Nothing fancy about the course but it’s in good shape. Have a bar/restaurant and a pro shop. Small driving range and warm up area. Everyone was friendly and pace of play was good. For the price it’s a course worth trying
Great greens
Fairways were patchy and lots of over water shots. Hit a lot of good shots to find out my ball is wet. Greens were excellent and my group noted that several times during play. It was a long ride from st. Petersburg but I will be back.
Made us play same nine holes twice for some reason
When I arrived they told us was only 20 instead of 24 but we had to play same nine holes twice because I booked 18. Was very disappointed and will probably not ever go back. They said they tried to contact me to inform me the night before but I have no idea how they would know how to contact me. Like I said that was probably the last time I will go there.
Great value venue with good layout
Played The Gator and The Panther courses (two loops of nine). Course a little wet in places and some teeing areas not great. Greens, however, were in great shape. Ball rolled true. Irons into the greens had to be accurate as many greens were small. A good golfing challenge for not many $. Staff in pro shop and bar were very friendly and hospitable. Well worth a play if you’re in the area.
