No signs of freeze
Course looks green and awesome conditions. While fairways are brown everywhere else because of the recent freeze, you don’t see any signs of it here at Moody.

Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Moody Gardens Golf Course!
Greens and fairways are in immaculate shape
Challenging course that is in great condition. Back 9 has a lot of difficult tee shots that reward a good drive.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Moody Gardens Golf Course.

Great condition, seaside feel, challenging holes
Played with the usual 15mph SE wind making the first 4 holes on the back nine challenging, greens are perfect, fairways are very good and bunkers are very playable. Pace of play was excellent and the usual variety of birds was present. Plenty of water and brush to lose a ball in and some tough forced carries into greens make solid contact a must or the wind will make you come up short. Just an excellent experience, a great course to walk as it is a flat layout. Staff is excellent. Great practice facility with chipping green and bunker.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Moody Gardens Golf Course.
Few times a year
Like the course
It’s 1:45 minutes drive
Wind can be brutal

Conditions improvingh
Greens were in very good shape…..bunkers hardpacked…. Tee boxes need care. Still a good layout but not in as good shape as prior years……

Slow play
Let me preface this…….it was cart path only on a Friday. I had a1:30 T time, which I know was wishful thinking for me to finish. We were a two some. We mage the turn in 2 hours. We get to 10, there is a foursome a head of us. We first thought they just cut and started on 10. After talking to them they had a 12:45 T time. They were backing up the whole course. The marshal had them stop and let two groups go ahead of them. This put them ahead of us. We waited on 10 t box got 20 minutes.
What happened to skip a hole if your are not keeping up with pace of play.. Got thru 14 holes by 5, returned cart.

Nice Course, but Staff Could Use Some Training
The course was in decent shape considering there is constant wind and the mosquitoes were terrible but that is Galveston.
The staff is almost to the point of rude. I was waiting in line and there were 3 people behind the counter. One was helping a customer, who was for some reason, having issues, while the other two just talked to each other. I had waited awhile when someone came in that the two other people knew and they helped him immediately while I still stood there waiting. Finally about 10 minutes later, the person still helping someone asked them to help me. As someone who use to play this course regularly and have since I was 15 playing for a local school, this is not a good look. I am a BOI and go off the island now to play because of this type of treatment. There was nothing in any of the people working the counter that gave me the feeling they were at least minimally glad I was there to play.
Great golf course; tooooo many mosquitos
It's absolutely a great golf course - staff was wonderful - however, I never seen sooooo many mosquitos in a single place like the Moody Gardens Golf Course. I probably killed 2 or 3 dozens mosquitos during the round, and got bitten by mosquitos couple of dozen times. Wow, what an interesting round of golf!

Hello, zhiqbothelld. Thank you for visiting us at Moody Gardens Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Course in great shape, but mosquitoes awful
Had a good time, course good, greens had been sanded recently so they were very stiff but played pretty well.
Worst part was mosquitoes were terribly bad. If you were in the rough, you had buzzing everywhere around you. Very distracting and made you want to hurry the shot to get away from them. Weren't AS bad in the fairways and greens, but still there. Bring bug spray.

Hello, dpickering6. Thank you for visiting us at Moody Gardens Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great shape
I got a hot deal for around $47. The fairways are like carpet. The greens are gorgeous but a bit tough to read.
The wind is a factor, tho without it, the skeeters will reduce you to a skeleton.
This was a good value, with views, palm trees, manicured bunkers and diverse bird life.
Adjacent to the airport so that’s cool too, seeing touch and go’s and the occasional T-38 from NASA.
Good time
