Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course

We found this course is ladies friendly ... played the Gator / Panther combination ... wide fairways ... Greens are rolling quite nice ... saw a 9 foot alligator on the 9th hole ... the only annoying thing is the noise from the trap shooting range adjacent to the course ... enjoyed the round and will come back.

I have recently played several courses in the area and Silver Dollar Golf Course is in far better condition than all of the others I've played. The greens at Silver Dollar are phenomenal!! I've played golf for years, but gave it up for the past 10 years and have just started playing again with my wife who recently took it up. I took my wife to Silver Dollar for the first time this weekend and it was her favorite course of all the courses we've played in the area. Silver Dollar is perfect to challenge me, yet still provide an enjoyable round for my wife without being able to get into too much trouble. This is now our "go-to" course for a weekend round of golf. You can't go wrong playing here!

Ok, when we arrived to 1st tee there was a fourball just teed off and a twosome waiting.. no problem, then the starter asked us to start on the bobcat 9 and we did, BIG MISTAKE, it is in very poor condition, greens are all patchy and poor overall layout. We were going to leave after 9 but said we would give the Gator 9 a chance and I'm glad we did. Very nice and 100% better than Bobcat 9. We just couldn't figure out why starter sent us out to such a poor 9 holes. I would reconend to a friend but to stay clear of Bobcat 9.

My friends and I decided to play a new course for Veteran's Day this year. Two of us are active duty and the others were Army Veterans. The initial interaction with the pro shop was unpleasant but we moved on. After playing a couple holes, the ranger came around and rudely hassled us about playing with 5 players. We were the only people within site on the course! On the turn, I stopped in the pro shop to talk about the interaction. The associate that I talked to immediately accused me of lying and rudely interrupted me every time that I tried to talk. During the back nine holes, they had a ranger watching us the entire time. I mean the entire time! I stopped into the pro shop one more time after the round and expressed my disappointment with everything and the guy at the counter just smiled and nodded at me. My friends and I were just trying to play golf to celebrate Veteran's Day and this course ruined it!. I will never play there again, nor will my friends. Very disappointed.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Course has 4 set of tees. My wife played the ladies Red and I played the seniors gold. Condition was good.

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.

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.

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.

Played 18 holes in just under 4 hours. Overall great shape. Great value and great staff.

the course playing at white tees very long . the greens were fast. tee boxies need work.

It was a great day with great weather a nice greens

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 .

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.

Greens were very well maintained and beautiful course.

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!!!

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.

Course was in good shape, especially the back nine where the greens were in much better shape than front.

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.

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.
