Moody Gardens Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Carlton Gipson-redesigned Moody Gardens Golf Course is one of the most difficult tracks in Texas, universally considered one of the top five municipals in the state. The Gulf winds pound the course and water comes into play on every hole. Even from the regular tees, the route rolls 6,816 yards, so short knockers are truly at a disadvantage.
Getting there : From I-45 south, exit 61st St. and turn right. Find Stewart and turn right, then turn right again on 99th Street. Drive to Sydnor Ln. and turn right-you'll see the entrance on the right side of the road.

Got robbed..
My tee time was 9:20am, 3/12. I drove an hour and 20 minutes to come play this course for the first time and was pretty excited just thinking about the experience.
As soon as I arrived, just from the looks of the place. I immediately felt like I over played by at least $50 bucks lol. The check in staff and starter were super cool and nice people. The driving range and 1st Tee run parallel with each other so if you are not driving the ball 300+ yards you are in for one heck of an Easter egg hunt when looking for your ball.
To be fair the greens were in ok shape, they needed a cut, but all in all they were good.
The fact that they charged $100+ for this course was ridiculous. I’ve played much nicer courses for half the price. I believe if they cut that price in half they would see a lot more people visiting and returning to the course.

Now's the time to play Moody Gardens
About the course: it plays long due to the wind; the greens are in incredible shape. The Golf Now price and course conditions mean that I'll be playing here as often as possible this spring.
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.
Never disappointing
Greens were emaculate! Everything else in great shape shape too.
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.
Amazing! Fav course ever!
Greens rolled amazing! No waiting all day, I play this course 6-7 times a year and I don’t remember ever waiting. A few of the palm trees died during the freeze making it a little easier. Super fun course, causes you to be creative when the wind is blowing 30. Makes the par 3s on the front play like 180 and 240 🥲. Staff is awesome!! I’d play double the normal rate to play here no problem. Some people literally leave their golf balls after a shot so one of the Marshalls ended up giving me like 30 golf balls, everyone was in a good mood. Feel like home here!
Thank you for your review, Ben1357236. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Moody Gardens Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Perfect greens!
The course was great, as always. Especially the greens, which were fast-- very fast-- and true.
Breeze the front nine and almost a gale the back nine.
The only problem is that we could have used some help from a marshal or two. Several groups began to bunch up on #13 and eventually there were FOUR groups on the tee box at #18. No exaggeration. We had to wait nearly 30 minutes to play the last hole.
Thank you for your review, u00000996148. We will pass along your experience to our team at Moody Gardens Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Weekend Round
Course was great condition. However, driving was from the mats.
Hello, CodyDavis. 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 was not what I expected
The first thing out of the gate the starter was grumpy. If your not happy to work at golf course, don't.
The layout/routing was a little to be desired. Hole 6 and 8 would be great holes if they were able to run the ball in like a links style course, especially in the wind.
#9 wasn't a great finishing hole for front nine
Back 9 was a little more enjoyable 18 could be designed a little better.
Pace of play was not a good pace. The pace should have been better after play starting with empty course at 1 PM, I started at 2 PM and had to skip around slow groups and come back and play those holes later to finish before dark.
