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.

We can then all over the course Photo submitted by Gilbert3585586 on 05/27/2013
This course makes a day of golf fun and challenging.
If you want a day of long drives and challenging courses them this is the place. I will be back
Worth the drive.
Worth the drive from Tampa. Great course in good condition. 27 holes with lots of variety. Most have opportunities to recover from bad shots, but a couple of the par 5s are very difficult. Don't expect to retrieve wet balls; the ponds are dark and deep.
Nice course, friendly starter, ranger. Enjoyed the day
Nice course friendly starter and ranger. Nice people great location
Great course and great value for the money charged !!!!
It truly has a great 4 & 3/4 stars !!! The 1/4 point deduction is for the tee boxes for the men. There shouldn't be a hump like a camel right up the middle ! Hard to find a level driving stance !
Grounds crew needs to spread some dirt
Far,far,far too many exposed grounds and tree roots!
needs work
needs lots and lots of work (the course), ...unless your deadly accurate and a flawless player.
Enjoyable round of golf
Course was not busy due to the cold/windy condition, so the pace of play was our own. Well maintained course, but I don't like an in-course out-of-bounds as on hole #8.
The staff was much more friendly than our visit last year when we were admonished for paying such a low rate.
This course is a lot of fun
Plays long and you need to really place your shots. I like the scenery as well not in neighborhood. Greens in good shape. Fairways are just fine.
Greens in good condition and with contour and lots of water to deal with
Decent challenge, whites make it moderate while the blues make some second shots a challenge to make the greens.
Great course which is in very good condition
I have played this course a number of times on my trips from the UK. I have always found it to be in good condition but this time it was ecellent. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. I was allowed to tee off early to keep clear of a competition and so not be held up. All in all a great experiance.
Good value for the money!
Played this course after the arrival of the Snow Birds and was amazed that the pace of play was very good. The course was in reasonable condition and the greens were good but a bit slow due to the over-seeding. It is a fun course and not too tough, just about right for high to mid handicappers.
Not the friendly place it used to be!
Desk staff has changed and they were very arrogant. Also, "locals" think it is a private course and do not abide by the rules or use gold ettiquet.
EXCELLENT GREENS
This is a relatively flat course with mediocre fairways but excellent greens. A tough test of golf from the tips.
#17 is a monster that can ruin your round in an instant.
The course has excellent features
Friendlly, leisurely paced golf course. Excellent greens at a great price. This course has been well maintained and much nicer since our last outing.
challanging enough for everyone
Last time here the greens were suspect. But this time they were in good shape. Plus with 27 holes you can play here and get a different lok each time.
cant beat the price, dont expect greatness
great, helpful, and friendly staff and prices are great during the season as well. gets a lot use because of it so the greens are slow and tee boxes not too even. also has a shooting club next door so hope you can concentrate with shotguns occasionally going off. but again, $14 for 18 holes after 3pm and they have 3 different 9 hole courses to choose from to play
This is a unique course located in a Modular/mobile home community.
I love Siver Dollar. I travel to Tampa often to visit elderly parents who live in a neigboring golf community however, I seem to play Silver Dollar at least three times during a weeks visit. It's nothing fancy but, the course is always in good condition, they have 3 nine holes courses and with the right Hot Deal from Golfnow I get more bang for the buck. I consider Silver Dollar my home course while it Tampa. The facility is a little dated but it serves the purpose.
