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.

Golfer Reviews
wide open - fun track
great place to tune your game especially the wider fairways and huge greens.
great place to play with your young golfers this summer.
greens just a little bumpy still,
punched about 3 weeks ago.
very puttable
Good golf day
Front 9 very wet, well it did rain the night before but the back 9 was like it never rained at all.
Good course for bogey golfers like me as well as beginners. Greens in very good shape. Lots of dog legs.
Challenge from the tips.
6500 from the tips with more dogleg lefts than 3 average courses. Reviews were correct on slow pace of play but some of the slow play may be attributed to the abnormal amount of dogleg lefts. My son and I normally play right to left so it worked in our favor. The greens were medium slow but rolled true. Pro shop personnel friendly, giving advice on how to get from hole to hole really helped as not easy to follow path due to several long walks from green to tee. I recommend this course.
Beautiful course
Beautiful course with very little housing surrounding it. Only complaints were that our 8:37 am tee time was right before a scramble event, so the golfers asked us to skip hole 3...then because scrambles play fast they were on our heels the entire day. Since we weren't pros and the first visit for all four of our golfers, we felt a bit rushed. The range shooting was also somewhat distracting on that part of the course.
But overall a beautiful setting and very friendly staff. The ranger kept a good watch and did it in a nice way. The grass and greens were in excellent condition.
Great course Pro shop Rude
Nice layout course in very good condition always like playing this course. Once you get passed the Pro shop staff rudeness you will have a great day Btw all of the starters are friendly
Terrible staff
Called to change time because of rain, staff unwilling to help and very rude. will never return and do not recommend. Customer service is everything.
PGA quality greens
I was impressed with the greens, best shape ever. Keep up the good work.
Gun Range attached to golfcoure?
greens were good but rest of course was a dump and there was a gun range literally right beside the panther curse which was extremely annoying
Ranger knows how to ruin a round
course personnel sure know how to unnecessarily ruin a decent round of golf.
Open golf
This is a great golf course with lots of different layouts. Lots of doglegs,water, and challenging Par 3’s. Even with the cart paths it was hard to follow the holes in sequence. There are 3 different 9 hole courses and they enter twine. The only drawback was they were skeet shooting on the other side of the road. Just a little noisy. Course was in good playing condition. Enjoyed the day. Tight tree lined fairways. I would definitely play this course again. Didn’t eat there but restaurant look clean and food smelt very good.
Good course with good conditions
Course is nothing special really but they always have the course in good condition. Course is never more that $29 so u can’t really go wrong .
Good track.
Played by myself. Very very windy day. The course is very challenging. I found the greens in good condition. Shot a 95. I'm a 12 handicap. I'll be back there. To better my score. Hopefully will get some rain.
I have seen the greens & tee boxes in better shape
Late March 18 holes
I teed off at 8:22 am. The course was already very busy and the pace of play was slow. The greens were in good shape. Fairways were hard and need water. The greens got faster as the day progressed. Overall a great value.
