Moccasin Wallow Golf Club

Everything’s green! What a difference when the weather cooperates, tee boxes and fairways plush and the greens are a 8 out of 10. And can only see them getting better if the weather stays good. Definitely worth the ride from St. Pete.

Wow! The Moc has changed; still the same great layout, but the conditions have gotten sooo much better. Looking for a good course at a great price, give it a GO!

Wife and I played Thursday afternoon. It was great. The course was in wonderful condition and although it was four in the afternoon the crew was still putting finishing touches on the course for the day. The recently sprayed fairways were green and playable, the greens were fast and in great shape. We did find that what looked like a. Mole had attack one of the greens. We spoke to the owner who immediately notified the crew. Enjoyed the course, coming back Sunday to play again.

First time playing here. Heard really good things about it. As of 8/24/19 it needs work. Give it time to dry out and have the staff cut and clean. The fairways were not good. The rough was terrible. The worse part is the fringe around the greens. I prefer always to chip off fringe or around greens. Not here. Lost several balls because the rough was so overgrown. There’s no second cut. It’s just fairway and “oh no” area. Greens seem to have been punched recently. But they didn’t do a good job getting them back. Perhaps end of this year it’ll be in better shape. The layout was good. Needs a better course map. I personally play the course with irons vs always using driver then going from there. But there isn’t a good book to scout the blind spots. It’s worst a try but no time soon. Also. Their chipping greens are like the course. And their driving range is water.

The fairways are most without grass, patchy to say the least. The greens needs work in the nth degree. The employees need to upgrade their sense of humor and modify their bland demeanor.. what they did for the passed nine months wasn’t a fix to the course. We’ll not return..

This the 2nd time I've played this course. It is really a jewel...Hard but Fair! It is definitely on my favorites list.

The course has come a long way since it has been raining. Greens are much better and fairways are finally green and full. I would recommend this course now for any type of golfer.

Booked a tee time through GolfNow on 6/25/19 for 4:00PM. When I arrived the owner informed me he was closing the course so they could water it... are you serious??? I got no call from the course to notify me I wasn’t going to be able to play. Not only that, the owner told me he called GolfNow and cancelled my reservation with them. After personally speaking with GolfNow on the phone, it turns out that was a complete lie. They never called to cancel the reservation. Now I have to keep calling back until GolfNow can get ahold of the course so I can get my refund. Horrible way to run a business....Online it says they are open till 6PM but they close shop at 4PM. Course won’t last long with those business practices....good luck.

I was impressed with the course although the grass was a little high. That was acceptable after all the rain. Can't wait to back after the grass is cut!

This course has taken a change of direction. Over the last 6 months there has been massive construction going on out front with a new road and Publix, so don’t let that distract u from what truly is out there. The course has massive potential and the recent fertilization and aerification has made this place GREEN. Go give it a shot!

This course has a layout that is second to none in the Parish/Palmetto area. Constant work has been done to improve greens and fairways making it one of the nicest courses around. The staff is friendly and very helpful when it comes to pace of play.

Overall the course needs a lot of work. Formerly Imperial Lakewood, this course does have potential. Unfortunately, it seems that the new ownership is not investing any money in the greens or tee boxes. Horrible conditions. The most frustrating part is that on the front 9, the only restroom and water location wasn't operational. In hot humid weather; this is really not good. Unless this course completely changes, I will never go back. The front of the clubhouse looks like a real eye sore. Terribly disappointing.

The course was a little dry but play incredibly fast..

Nobody in front of,or behind me a Great day..

My play was erratic but the course was fine!

I found the golf course needed to be in a little rough shape. For the most part the greens were in fairly good shape and the fair ways needed to be watered a little more. But I did like playing there and would recommend playing the course. But I would not pay anymore than what I payed.

I play two courses most of the time and they are Buffalo Creek and Moccasin wallow. Buffalo Creek is less expensive and course conditions are much better however a lot of people play there so the pace of play is slow on the weekends. Moccasin wallow has poor course conditions for the most part but since nobody plays there you can get around in 3 hours. They don't seem to come up on Google and most people do not know about it even though it is in a community of hundreds or thousands of homes. If they advertised more they could get more people to play there which would increase revenue and then course conditions may improve. Some of the greens have not improved very much since last fall the fairways tend to be on the brown side and they want more money to play there. Last Friday Buffalo Creek was packed with a couple hundred players and Moccasin wallow only had eight people go off before 11. You do the math. The people that work there are very nice and the bar and food are good. I think there are more people that go there for dinner than actually play the course. This course has a nice layout and by fixing the greens and watering the course a little more often could really get more people to play there but you have to be competitive with the courses around you. I would recommend playing Buffalo Creek based on course conditions and price but if you want to play a round in 3 hours then moccasin wallow is the course to go to. That's my two cents. Josh D

This course should be considered one of the premier courses in Manatee County. Easy to access at it is right off of interstate 75 and Exit 229. The course itself is simply amazing, with each hole offering a challenge. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape, seems like there is constant improvements.

We also stayed for dinner that evening at The MOC Bar and Grill which is a sports bar open to the public for golfers & non-golfers alike! Was able to watch the start of the final four on huge TV monitors thoughout the bar. The part that made the occasion extra special was Noah Zelnik - the owner and operator. He greeted everyone at the door and ensured everything was running perfectly.

Number 9! If this isn’t the signature hole, it should be. It is

reminiscent of another famous McAnlis hole, number 18, The Blue Monster at Doral. Joe

Average will want to hit his tee shot left of the fairway bunker on the right side. Your

layup shot will be to a narrow landing area between two fairway bunkers with the ever

present water on the left. Your approach shot is to a small, elevated green where the

water on the left really comes into play. To complicate matters, a small pond will catch

anything hit wildly to the right. Take a par and head home.

A big Thank You for such a pleasant experience.
