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.

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.

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.

Excellent reclamation story

Moccasin Wallow is a great example of an in-progress golf course transformation. Owner and former Tour caddie Noah Zelnik and his staff are doing everything they can to give golfers here the best possible experience on a modest budget. So far, so good: they're focusing on making the course's greens as good as possible, and addressing everything else as able. This provides a high baseline from which Zelnik and crew are looking to improve. Having met him, I am confident they'll succeed. A good local golf course, and worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Thank you for your review and kind words. We bring a no frills approach to a very affordable product. As prices go up for cost of goods we have done our best to stay competitive in an oversaturated market. With the more play we get the more we are able to continue to make improvements. Thank you for noticing where we were, where we are, and where we will be.

Hot deal

I have not played the course because of the price but got it on a Hot Deal through GolfNow and thoroughly enjoyed the round. It is an interesting layout with lots of water but had enough forgiveness that I didn’t feel beat up. An extremely enjoyable day.

Loved it

I am a little late in posting this review but it is well deserved. Had a buddy cancel on me at the last minute so I ended up playing alone. Course was in great shape, moderately challenging. Greens were 95% and ran true. Had a great burger and a cold beer when I finished up. No negatives, all positives. Will definitely be back
