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.

Island Golf Day
I enjoyed the challenge the course offered. All aspects of your game are tested here, so you must hit greens to give yourself a shot at par unless you like being stressed out trying to recover.
The greens are not easy, so stay below the holes and putt up hill if the pin is located on a sloped position.
The wind can be the negative to this golf club, so learn quickly what clubs to use down wind and against it.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, superdave3! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great time out at Moody! Course is difficult with all the marsh and water making you have to hit the fairway but the greens are full and roll true. Highly recommend.
