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.

Moody gardens weekday golf
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!
Greens were the best I played in this region. Course was in great shape despite all the heat and then the rain
Wow, thanks so much for your great compliment! We are looking forward to welcoming you back again very soon!
Thanks so much for taking the time to rate us 5 stars!
Great course
Course was in perfect condition. Very friendly and helpful staff. Course wide open but also challenging.
Thanks so much for your great feedback! We're so glad you had such a great time. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
C’mon, Rake the Traps!
To be fair, greens & fairways were in great shape. However, traps haven’t been raked in months. I realize they don’t want players to rake but there’s no reason the can’t be raked once a day. Some had grass growing in them & many were almost unplayable. This course is too expensive for that. Come on Moody,, you’re better than that!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we appreciate the feedback hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Beautiful layout, greens and fariways excellent
Everything was great except the bunkers. We should have been told the bunkers were unplayable and had an appropriate discount.
Thanks for your feedback, and we will work to make improvements for your next visit!
Great Course... Not so great locals
Very nice course. Lots of challenge on back nine. Very windy down here on coast. Played as a single. Ran into 4some on hole 7. They would not let me play through. When asked, they said "We would let you play through but you're not going anywhere" and drove off. Wouldn't have been so bad, but they were terrible. I would have to wait for 6-8 of their shots before I could finally hit. So much for "let faster players play through".
Thanks so much for your review. We are glad to see you rated us 5 stars, and we appreciate the feedback. We hope to see you back here again soon.
Thanks so much for the awesome rating!
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL
I played the course over two years ago and have “Unsubscribesd” from them at least five times. I was passing through, but cannot get them to take me off their mailing list
Beautiful
This course is just absolutely beautiful it’s better then some private clubs I played in relative to the cost it’s a better play you have to play this course
Good course even with rough weather
Really liked playing this course even though the wind was high and a little rain fell on me.
We're so pleased you enjoyed or course, even with a little wind and rain. We really hope to have you back again soon!
Moody Never Disappoints
Course conditions are always top notch! Brought a buddy out for the first time and he was super impressed.
We are so glad you enjoyed our course conditions. Thanks for bringing your buddy out to try our course as well. We hope to see you both back here again soon!
Fun layout
Course was in great shape and is extremely challenging .... especially on back 9. Greens rolled fast and tee/box & fairways were plush. Twilight rates are the way to go. Will make the drive to play again for sure!!
We're so glad you enjoyed our course. Thanks so much for making the drive to come play, and we cannot wait to have you back again soon!
