Moccasin Wallow Golf Club

This golf course has come along way since the Zelnik’s purchased this club. Greens/Fairways are in great shape. The owners have put many long hours into this golf course and it has a BRIGHT FUTURE! If the West FL Golf Tour thinks it’s good enough to have a 3-Day event there... you need to go play it! Can wait to get back out there and tee it up!

Be careful this Snake has a bite!

This golf course keeps getting better and better. The fertilizer they put out two weeks ago has the golf course lush.

I am a Member of The Moc and Am very proud to say that !!!

The new owners Zelnik and Andy & Crew have taken a broken Golf Course (Imperial Lakewood) to a New and Improved Golf Course ! They are continually working to improve it.

Everyone should come out to play and see what has been accomplished!

The new owner is trying hard to bring this course back from the dead, and has spent a lot of money to do so, but it is a process. I'm sure it will eventually be a really good course, but right now, it's very average (condition wise). Really good layout, with interesting holes..Some are wide open, yet others demand a dead straight shot, trees on 1 side, and water on the other.Very nice staff. Prices are very good, both in the bar, and on the course. I hope everything works out alright for this hard working new owner.

Course has come a long way since new owners took over, they are to be commended for their efforts. A friendly atmosphere, where it feels like you are valued as a customer. The greens are good, the fairways and areas surrounding greens have improved. Bunkers need work, my only real criticism. Give the course and the new owners a try, they deserve your support!

I was really thrilled to get a early tee time on a Sunday and beat the heat. The course was fun and forgiving for a mid handicapper like myself. The owner and greens management have definitely put in the time and money into making this a premiere course. The improvements I’ve seen over the last year have been nothing short of amazing. All staff memebers abd personel were very friendly and accommodating. Had lunch after my round and the burger was absolutely amazing. On one hand I’m glad to have a hidden treasure like this close to home but also sad that more people don’t know what they are missing. I’m not one to leave reviews but I was shocked to see the rating far lower than this place deserves. I will definitely be back and be bringing guests for years to come.

I selected this course because it was convenient to where we were traveling and I read some reviews that said the course conditions had improved from previous years. I'll start with the good...the green surfaces were in great condition and the pace of play (Wed afternoon) was great (under 4 hours for me and my wife). I've read reviews that said the tees and fairways were improved. I found most of the tees to be OK but a few were still bad. One womens tee on #12 was crabgrass and sand. I'm not sure about the fairways. We started on 10 and it seemed to be in pretty good shape but but it looked dormant (brown). Most fairways were covered in piles of grass clippings and I'm not sure why that was. Anything that wasn't fairway grass looked pretty unkept. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not. Lots of sandy areas and splotchy grass coverage. Some bunkers seemed pretty well covered in sand but others had grass clumps and little sand. I doubt I'll visit again until I see many more positive reviews.

This is the first time playing this course since the new ownership took over. The greens were quite good and fast, and the entire course was in good shape. It is a very challenging course, quite narrow in places, and open to the wind. I had friends visiting from GA who had never played the course, and though the golf was enjoyable, the staff at the MOC (other than the starter, who was quite pleasant, and the bartender), was repeatedly unprofessional, complaining about the fee that Golf Now takes, chastising us for picking up range balls when the pro shop was out of balls and told us to find them on the range, then directing us to move our carts over here, then over there, as though we worked for them. They apparently spent their money on the greens, and not on attitude training for their employees.

This course commonly known as "The Moc" was a very nice treat. I am actually glad I waited to write this review, you see why as you continue to read. So I booked a tee time on their web site for 2:00 PM I arrived at the course at 1:00 went in and paid and was going to warm up. The young man at the desk was very kind, I ask can I go or do I need to wait, he says a twosome just went off and there is not another Tee Time for about 30 mins there is no need for you to wait. So I go off and proceeded to make my first 3 putt and double bogey of the year, lol. It gets better, caught the twosome at #4 and they allowed me to play ahead. The greens on the course were in fantastic condition, some minor issues but nothing that time will not fix. So I finish my round and came in to get something to drink did have time to eat, although the food I saw folks eating looked yummy. Very nice test of golf a great course to get in some great work, very nice layout. So fast forward to Tuesday afternoon 13 FEB, I am on my way in from work and had not eaten lunch, I have to go right by the Moc to get home so I decided to stop and grab a bite to eat. The young lady behind the counter took good care of me, folks in the place were very friendly. Then this guy shows up and is behind the bar, starts up a conversation asked me if I played I told him not today just stopped in to grab some food, He said alright that''s cool I told him I had played on Saturday and enjoyed it very much we talked about the course and somehow got on the new ball from Titleist (AVX), long story short he goes to his office and gives me one to try out, I was thinking this guy must be the pro he was very friendly and nice to talk to, come to find out his name is Noah and he is the owner of the course. What a treat, you can tell he loves his club and his patrons. I will be back, simply because Noah has created an environment that you don't find in most golf clubs. Oh by the way, the Club Sandwich on a scale of 1-10 it was a 12 or 13. I will be back oh yeah score 83 not bad for the first round of the year, like riding a bike.

This course was a pleasant surprise for a first time golfer. The conditions were good, I loved the layout, found the staff very pleasant, and loved the overall value.

Greens were excellent and moderately contoured. Nice medium speed. Course not very challenging. Many par 4s were the same. Lots of almost straight-away. Negligible rough and trees, but some trees strategically placed. Friendly staff. Great pace. Had a good time.

First time playing. Slow. Some weird holes. Close to the highway. Noisy.

Very nice greens. No water in ball washers. Score card not current. Nice layout and you can see that they are working hard to make it a quality course. Will definitely play there again.

Greens rolling great. Fairways are good. New tee boxes huge improvement. Staff is super friendly.Teeing off at 2:30 and getting around in 3 hours. Super easy access off I-75 Moccasin Wallow Rd exit. Can't wait until my next trip to Florida.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but left my wife and daughter at ellenton to do some shopping and decided to try The Moc. The pro shop was closed but I was directed to the bar and got out to play quickly

There are some great holes and the course is in good condition, some previous reviews don’t do ithe conditions justice. As with many Florida golf courses, houses are never far away, nor the i75. I enjoyed my round and got back to ellenton in good time to help carry some bags. Thankfully neither the golf or the shopping proved too costly! I hope to return to the moc and see the improvement continue. I would recommend.

One improvement idea better course marking in terms of direction and distance. Sometimes I struggled to make out distances and had to work them out for myself. My garmin watch did not realise I was on a golf course!

Good luck to the moc.

This is the first time I have played this course in several years and was pleasantly surprised at how much better the conditions are. It is now a course I would definitely play again.

I am a precious gold course managaer and have seen it all!

It was my job to make sure everyone had an amazing time and when they left they had a feeling of wow that was fun!! And we were treated great!!!!

Also my boss was extremely obsessed with his course and how it looked and took great pride in it!!!

When I left here after a round , a few cocktails and a great meal I can say I felt I was greatly taken care of and the course was in amazing shape

Job well done staff

I recently played this course as I heard it had been completely renovated. I had played years ago when it seemed to had been let go. To my surprise, not only was the course in outstanding shape, the clubhouse also underwent a huge makeover. I was immediately greeted by staff when I arrived and was handed a menu with plenty to choose from. The food was delicious, staff was friendly and front desk what helpful. I can't wait to bring my girlfriends next time.

After being closed for a year, the former Imperial Lakewoods, has been redone and updated. Each time we play, we notice that the tees, fairways, and greens show improvement. Nice bar too!
