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.

Silver Dollar

Only 9 holes open out of 27, I would rate this as a beginners course not well kept, there is a rifle range in the next field with shots going off regularly. No sign of any wildlife.

A great place to practice

This is a great course to try that new driver or that 6 iron you never use, You can also recover very easily from a bad shot. I enjoyed the course.

No. No. And did I say no?

The fact that this property carried 3.6 out of 5 stars at the time of my review is truly an embarrassment. Only way this place would be worthy of that rating would be from people who don't know what a true four-star golf course is...or a three-star course...or even a two-star course. The fact that Silver Dollar is referred to as "scenic" in the description on this website is laughable. There is absolutely nothing to look at except the trailer park that borders the golf course. Well, there is the horribly maintained chain link fence that actually borders one of the first fairways. Golf carts are skeletons (no windshields, club covers or GPS), tee boxes have few flat spots and the course design offers nothing of significance. Somehow, this place made me feel like I had played golf at a flea market. Sure, the greens on the Panther nine were in good shape. However, just having some well-maintained greens does not make up for all the obvious shortcomings in every other category. If you take any pride in where you play golf, you do not belong here at any price.

1st Time Back in a Few Months and..............

And it was great! What a difference from the winter months. The course was green and well kept. The greens were in excellent shape. A huge improvement from when I played here in April. In April the fairways were in poor shape and the greens were terrible. I'm glad to see this golf course looking so green and lush. Lots of wildlife running around. Gators on the Gator course and bring your big stick for the back to back par 5's #16 and #17. I enjoyed my last round played out here on July 7th so much that when I saw a hot deal for Sliver Dollar again $12 bucks, I booked it immediately .

A great course for a casual player

Excellent course maintenance and landscaping. Plenty of water hazards which add to the esthetics of the course (and challenges). We really liked the big green umbrellas along the course.

Ground Keepers all over

Too sad.... What could it be a great Golfing day turned to be a wait-to-play day. Our tee time was for 8:00am and since the beginning at hole #1 there were ground keepers on all 18 holes there after. Regardless that there were NO players behind us for at least one hour something that should have been taken in to consideration. Bottom line...not fun at all!!!

great greens

I have played this course before, I brought a friend for the first time. We both enjoyed the day, we even seen 3 deer's on the course. It was well worth the money, the green's were in great shape. Looking forward to play there again.

New customer.

Played the course twice , last Friday and Tuesday of this week.

On the first hole on Friday, my pardoner was bashed by a course employee for failing to rake the sand trap which was located at the edge of the green before he had time to do so.
Welcome to our course.

Yesterday, as we were making our way across the fairway on our way to the green, another course employee threw his hands up in the air and said"thanks for riding across the tee".

The tee was simply a spot in the fairway, not raised, and we simply did not recognize it as the red tee.

Bottom line, my partner and I have played many years and would never knowing do anything to hurt a course.

Two time at this course and two times admonished for something .

We will NEVER play at Silver Dollar golf course again.

Improving course conditions and an interesting layout.

Lots of twists and turns....first time player should play with someone familiar with the course. A few straight holes but those are narrow. A short course with the exception of 3 par 5's which are longer than the norm.

Overall, course needs maintenance completed...work in progress. Greens have improved much but still a little rough. Fairways need work.

Cow pasture golf, over priced

The fairways are patchy, tee boxes are torn up and uneven, and this past weekend the greens were absolutely horrible. I got a great deal on golfnow ($16, morning tee time) so I figured "what the heck" but for the money they charge there are so many other better places to play. Perhaps my expectations were a bit high based on what they charge to play here. I recommend playing here if you can get a discounted rate.

Good value

This isn't a PGA course by any means, but if your goal is to get out and have a nice round of golf without complaining that you didn't get to play a great course for very little money then this is a nice little course. If you want a great course in great condition pay the big bucks and go to one, but don't expect to get a GREAT course for the price you pay here. This course is fun and I like the sunshine, fresh air and playing golf without spending a bundle and this course met my needs and expectations.
