Moccasin Wallow Golf Club
About
Moccasin Wallow Golf Club (previously known as Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club) is located at the intersection of I-75 and I-275 on exit 45 in Palmetto, less than a 30-minute drive from Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. The course was designed by Ted McAnlis around 200 beautiful wooded acres with 16 lakes. The course's signature hole, No.18 (550 yard, par 5 dog leg around Imperial Lake), is chosen year after year by local golfers as the best par 5 in southwest Florida

Great Local Course
Great course layout for advanced to beginner golfers with very good practice facilities and great food. The tee boxes are a little rough due to lack of rain, but the greens are in great shape and the pins use a shallow styrofoam cup for COVID-19 play so your ball can actually go into the hole rather than bouncing off an extended cup like some courses have done..
I'll be back!
Course has been through some tough times and it shows. I would play it again, but only for fun. Lots of deferred maintenance and poorly maintained tees.
Thank you for leaving your review. We are seeing a pattern in your reviews as you played five times with us recently all in hotdeals. Please do not buy them and let others enjoy the experience that you do not share.
Nice day at The Moc!
The greens are in great shape and the pace of play was great. Our tee-time was 1:45 and we were out of there by 4:15. I finally beat my wife... that hasn't happened for a while. The course is easy to get to... right at the intersection of I-275 (the Sunshine Skyway) and NB I-75.
Great greens and layout
Staff there is very friendly and the greens are running fast and smooth. Layout is a lot of fun. They just need some rain because the tees and fairways could use the water...on a bright note your get a lot of roll off the tee! Worth the money for sure.
WeWereExpectingBetter
My husband golfed on Thanksgiving last year and couldn't wait to take me to see this beautiful course. After one hole and my obvious disappointment he said "just wait" indicating that he had high hopes that the rest of the course couldn't possibly be as rough as hole #1. By the 2nd hole he knew we wouldn't be back. If the whole course was as well maintained as the greens our review would have gone so differently.
Greens are in good shape and rolling well. This is a fun design. Staff very friendly and handled COVID19 in a safe manner. Everyone in a good mood.
Not there yet...
I live local and have played the MOC several times, even when it used to be Imperial Lakewoods. The course was in such poor shape 2 years ago, I stopped playing here. I heard there have been improvements and decided to give it another try. On the bright side, the greens are in really nice shape, they've done a great job there...but that's about it. Tee boxes were horrible, fairways are burned out and thin, rough had more weeds than grass, in most spots around the greens it was just bare dirt, the sand traps were more like hard dirt. The layout is fun with some interesting holes and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. They have done a good job of implementing safety measurements in light of Covid19, but the course itself has a long way to go in my opinion. This is a good course and conditions are improving, but it's just not there yet. If you get a hotdeal for less than 30, give it a try. Otherwise, save your money and wait another season or 2 until things improve here.
Continuous improvement.
Support The MOC during these difficult times. The continuous improvement of this course reflects a lot of effort that has been put forward over the past 2 years. Greens are in great condition.
Friendly staff Course is well maintained course is a little challenging greens are very fast overall a nice course
Nice day at The Moc!
The greens are in great shape and we had a nice breeze.
Actually, with hardly any rain in the past month, the whole course looks pretty good. New golf carts with USB ports for charging phone and devises. At the turn, that had hot dogs and sandwiches available. It's one of our favorite courses... just over the Skyway from St. Pete.
Greens Roll True
Besides the greens being OK nothing redeeming about the course. I like the layout but sad how the drought conditions have hurt the course.
I'll wait till the rains begin before I return.
They should ask the starter not to smoke on the job.
Course was challenging
Course was challenging. Has a lot of blind shots and water you don't know is there if you haven't played there. There is a map of the course on the back of the scorecard that should be looked at on each hole. Was a little high priced for the condition of the course.
Will play again
A little expensive, but course is fun to play and is in pretty good condition for the dry weather we have had
