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.

The BEST Gulf Coast Course in Texas
Moody Gardens Golf Course in Galveston Texas is by far best on the gulf coast and so worth a visit if you want an enjoyable experience in golf. The course has a great layout, challenging holes, and is well manicured . Wind is often a factor, but this is very nice in a usually steamy hot summer. Pace of play is never an issue with an astute starting guide. I highly recommend this City Course.

Great Course But They Harris’s You
I played the course in June 2018. It was a fun course and in great shape. The only problem I have with it is I was passing through and will not be back that way again. I have been trying to get them to unsubscribe me for over TWO YEARS!!!
This course best value and friendly staff!
First time playing Moody gardens golf and I would highly recommend it! Even though conditions were a bit difficult because of the wind course conditions very good and layout was player friendly. First-time playing seaside course in Galveston but like challenging courses so you need to flight your ball per weather conditions, all in all very good golf course!
Your feedback is important to us, lv370540. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Moody Gardens Golf Course.

Second trip
Had to drive down again to play. Had some reward points to spend. Couldn't think of a better place. Course in great shape, greens we're fast which I love. True roll. They did have the wind machine set a little higher than the first time I played.
Thanks so much for taking the time to rate us 5 stars! We're so glad to see you enjoyed your time with us!

Slow play by an old foursome kept speed of play slow and would not allow playing thru.
Thanks for coming out to the course, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!
Thank you for taking the time to give us a great rating! We hope to have you back at the course again very soon!
Thanks so much for the 5 star rating, Harold!

Wow, thanks so much for your great compliment! We are looking forward to welcoming you back again very soon!
