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.

I enjoyed the course. The greens were in good shape and overall the track was nice. I am definitely going to come back because I left a lot of birdies out there LOL

Great day out
Desk was friendly and helpful. Loved the layout of the entire course. Highly recommend you stay in the middle of the fairway. Challenging at times with plenty of water and tall grass around the edges of the water. Fabulous greens. Excellent course for higher handicapped and excellent players. Totally enjoyed myself.

Slow play need Marshals to actually say something to slow players
We apologize for any slow play at the course. We do the best we can to keep things moving along. We hope to see you soon.
Pushy golfers
Nice course, very challenging and in great shape. We would have enjoyed playing this round so much more if it hadn’t been for the very pushy golfers behind us. Even though we were paired with a handicapped golfer, we played 18 in under 3 hours 45 minutes, so why the rush?
Great course at hot deal price
Greens and fairways in perfect condition. For the hot deal price, absolutely worth the money.
Thank you for taking the time to review us acspringer. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Moody Gardens Golf Course thanks you!
Good course but beware of wind
Perfect greens and fairways. Rough in the wind, but fun course. A must play in the Houston area.
A local favorite!
Maybe the toughest conditions I've ever played in.. however, this course is always a treat to play. One of my personal favorites. This is not a bermuda grass course, so conditions are always some of the best in the area. Its a little hike from the mainland, but always worth it and good to be out on the island.
Staff was very friendly and I had a burger in the grill, which was pretty good. I'll be back - my favorite course in the area on GolfNow.

Great Golf Course
Just a great golfing experience. Greens are perfect and the course is always in great shape.
Respect fir course
nice course, have played several times. There seems to be no interest in encouraging players to respect course.
1 no one repairs ball marks on greens
2 Carts are driven vey clise to greens... ni signs for” no carts past here”
3 no respect for wetlands... people walk in marsh grass and ricks dumped over marsh grass re erosion
Great Place. I will add to my courses to play.
This course has a lot of class. From hard to read greens to trouble if you do not hit the fairway. This place does not disappoint.
Great course, bad mosquitos!!!!
Great course, greens were awesome, Fairway is for Craig. The mosquitoes were overwhelmingly horrible. You can’t stop for more than a second, even when you’re driving there swarming the golf cart. It made for a very unpleasurable experience.
Hello and thank you for taking the tut time to write a review. We do apologize about the mosquitos, but we're glad the course played well! We hope to see you again!
Take off spray
Make sure that you take a can of off spray for certain.
Hi and thank you for the 4- star review. We understand the mosquitos can get bad, but we appreciate you coming and enjoying the course
