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.

Amazing conditions!
One of my new favorite tracks. I was worried about not having a good golf course near our beach condo but Moody Gardens exceeded my expectations. Incredibly friendly staff, Great practice area, and brand new carts with cell phone charging ports. Can’t wait to play again.
Enjoy it
Enjoy the course, great conditions, enjoy the pairings, great weather, want to comeback soon
Big ALs Take
Exceptional fairways and greens , course in wonderful condition. Courteous staff and great amenities, can’t wait to play there again.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, NUFSED! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Course is great. Staff or management have issues.
This course is always in great condition. The wildlife is great to see. The main issue is how staff is dealing with handing our carts for covid. They are supplying individual carts and that is appreciated. The are handing out keys that have to match the cart. Well, the cart was not in the first few rows and I was not going to spend my time looking for it. I had to come back off the practice tee to get a cart that matched the key. The cart was in the back row and not on the end. The carts need to be easier to find!!!!!!!! Some of the staff seemed to care. They guy in the cart barn did not seem to care at all.
We apologize for the mix up, your feedback is noted. Thanks for playing!
Great golf day
The weather was great. The course was great. My game was a little under my usual score. Overall a satisfying round of golf at a great course.

The only reason I gave course condition a good is the sand traps but I understand why they are that way. It won’t keep me from coming back!

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.
