Moody Gardens Golf Course
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great All-Around
Found a hotdeal plus a discount promo code so I got to play for $40. I have nothing but great things to say. From the pro shop to the starter, to the cart girl and bartender, everyone was happy to help and had great energy. The course was perfect. Greens are glassy and fast. Fairways were great. Tee areas were great. Doesn’t get much better than this in the Houston area.
Oh the Mosquitos
Beautiful course. Challenging with the wind and some very difficult green placements. I recall maybe three holes that good drives left 200 odd yards to the green that was tucked behind water. You have to play strategic and conservatively here.
The mosquitos though were like something from Jurassic Park. I got some generic bug spray. I recomment the highest strength deet you can get your hands on. And spray all over your body. I had a thin golf shirt on and theybit straight through it. I estimate over 100 mosquito bites during the round.
So overall great course but go prepared!!!!!
Great day to play
Always happy to play this course. Lives up to my expectations.
Nice course
The only thing was the mosquitos were bad , so take take some repellents, cutter dry worked great.
Course was in great shape !
Great outing at MG golf course
Drove from Lake Charles Louisiana to take my son n law to play a round of golf for his birthday. It was a beautiful course and we had a great time. It was definitely a positive experience for both of us. We will definitely be back in the future
Demanding but fair
Love playing Moody Gardens. I've played some of my best rounds here and I believe it's helped a great deal by the fabulous shape the course is always in. If you keep the ball in play you stand a good chance of going low. If you're off course a small amount it can hurt as it gets ugly in a hurry. Very dense growth along the edges. The greens are immaculate and roll very true. If you read the greens well you stand a good chance at some birdies. Overall an enjoyable place to play.
“Happy Camper “
Played the course several times over the past months and always happy with my experience.🏌️😄
Fun in the sun
Great overall experience. Always exceeds my expectations
Beautiful course and a lot of fun. Lots of water views and water on the course.
Good Course
My family and I were on vacation in Galveston and I decided to play Moody Gardens. Good course, good layout, and plenty of water. I definitely recommend this course to anyone visiting the Galveston area.
Coarse was in great shape
Dawn was amazing! Great personality, very informative and kind!
Great time at Moody.
Great greens, course in nice shape. Lots of water and wind provided a tough test. Watch out for the mosquitoes. Driving range nice. Clubhouse meh, they messed up our food order at the turn.
Very nice
The fairways are clean and the greens but some of the tee box need some work but overall is a nice place to play
Champions facility for practicing before your round
I play The Moody Gardens Golf Club every visit to Galveston Island. It’s always in top shape year around. Very professional atmosphere from the Pro shop to the practice tee, and threw out the Course. I highly recommend and build it into your visit to Galveston Island.
Fantastic conditions
Greens were so fast but fun. Great time. Course was in great shape
Fun times, but lost balls
Really enjoyed the course in early June. In the rough and near water hazards there were a lot of mosquitos. I think 16 of the 18 holes had water...so needless to say with the wind I lost a lot of balls. Disappointed with the sand traps, they were very hard and had very little sand in them (surprising since were on the sandy beach!). Fairways and greens were in great shape. Each hole had it's unique challenges, but I had a lot of fun playing the course!
