Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course
Rating Snapshot
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
Started raining. Older guy at pro shop. Little heavy. Told me to just wait it out. I told him that it was going to last awhile. He completely ignored me didn’t respond to me. It was insane. Played this course for twenty years. Just sad.
If you can play here, you can play Anywhere.
Fairways and greens and tee boxes need a lot of work. But financially, they probably cannot afford it.
I go occasionally.
I have played there many times in the past. I have found the course to be in great condition. I like to play there when the snow birds have gone home.
Greens that are brown
A couple of the greens were completely brown and some of the tee boxes are all dirt and there was a tree down at one of them
Go somewhere else!
For the afternoon rate of 35 my foursome could have gone to about 6 other courses that are far superior! Pro shop guy set our expectations telling us Gator course was in terrible shape. Dirt and weeds throughout fairways, greens were either burnt or squishy, ground was so hard if made it impossible to hit a half decent shot. Last time coming here.
Greens and tee boxes oh my
Really have some work to do on the greens and tee boxes. Fun track though
Course is being repaired
Staff was helpful and friendly. Tee boxes didn't have much grass and weren't level. Most fairways had bare spots. In fairness we haven't had much rain this year. I'll try again in a few months.
Better
Second time. Played the yellow tees (under my max of 6000 Yds). MUCH better for me. Still a LOT of water and gators!
Needs work
The greens were terrible it felt like I was walking through a marsh on the greens. The course layout is very confusing ( I didn’t finish the course I was over it)
Brutal
First time. Should have played from the yellow tees, not the whites. 6100 yds from the white, which is above my limit...(I'm 71 years old). Ponds EVERYWHERE, even in the middle of the fairways...greens were pretty good. Better than many I have played here in Florida. Lots of gator sightings too!
I will be back. But I will pay from the yellow tees!
Challenging but fun course.
It was my first time at this course and I was by myself ended up getting paired with two older guys who were super nice and guided me through most of the course. I really enjoyed it greens are great you got to really tap it in or it just keeps going. Tee boxes were kept up with and the food was great!
Challenging but very nice course
First time playing here today. It was challenging but with the help of the other golfers around me they let me know how the course is and where to put my ball in the best place possible. All around helpful and one of the best rounds I’ve played so far
Going downhill
The course has gone from a 3 to a 2-2.5 because of the tee boxes and fairways. No grass in 25-30% of the fairways and at least 50% of teeboxes were a mess. The greens on the other hand were in very good condition.
