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.

Golfer Reviews
Nice Course
Played this course with friends and family. Really enjoyed the play and the course! The pro shop staff was awesome and super nice, Marshall was pretty good too. The guy working as the starter was a jerk, watch out for him.

Beautiful!
I absolutley love this course. The fairways are large and in perfect condition. The greens had recently been punched when I played but were healing nicely. The course is flat but challenging with lots of water hazards and tall native grass that can be penal.. I would recommend this course to every level of golfer!!!

Excellent round at Moody Gardens
We stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the amenities on Friday. I woke up early and played 18 Saturday morning. We finished around 11 am and joined the family for some fun in Galveston. All in all, it was a great time.

Slow play
There was a tournament group just before me, so it made for a slow round.
These things do happen,.
Restaurant staff was best part of the day, very friendly.

Great Course
Honestly didn't know what to expect. Pictures can always be deceiving, but the fairways and greens were very well kept. Plenty of water to get you in trouble, which made it challenging, especially on the back 9. The fairways got a little tighter on the back 9. Played a twosome, had a 3 in front of us and single behind us and everyone maintained a good pace. Really enjoyed the experience overall. Ladies at the bar and young gentlemen at the pro-shop were very friendly. Look forward to playing next time I'm down on vacation.
Hi ctornelas, we truly appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back soon at Moody Gardens Golf Course!

Thank you for your 5-star rating and kind feedback! Please book another round with us soon at Moody Gardens Golf Course.
Great Course. Terrible Staff.
The golf course is really fun to play and very challenging. When we started the wind was reasonable but by the back 9 it picked up and made the holes play 3 to 4 clubs longer into the wind. The greens were almost perfect and rolled true all day long. The lady who we checked in with was so rude I almost said something but decided to let it pass. Other than that it was a great day, well worth the price and will definitely play again if I’m back in the area.

Your feedback has been shared appropriately, but we're very glad to hear you still enjoyed the day with us. We look forward to having you back at Moody Gardens Golf Course again soon!
Challenging
I am a 6 handicap . Played this course for the first time in a 20mph wind. Very difficult to play . Not very much room off the tee without penalty . Deep thick rough can save errant shots but difficult to find your ball . Greens very good and easy to putt .
Hello, u000007025872. Thank you for your 5-star rating and sharing your feedback with us! We hope you enjoyed the challenge of the course and book another round with us soon at Moody Gardens Golf Course.
One of my favorites.
Wonderful break from the dingy Bermuda courses everywhere around here. One of the best conditioned courses in the area and a gem worth the drive. One of my favorite places to be. Breezes make the course play cooler than the other mainland options. I've been playing here for years, on and off and this round, the course was in as good of shape as it has ever been in! Typically over priced, but a hot deal tee time or discount and it is a top choice. Great layout that gets better every time you play it. Wide open, but with the typically strong wind, can be a true test. I'm also and aviation enthusiast and pilot, so the constant air show next door is always great on top of the golf! Burger was good.
Course conditions are excellent
This course is a gem in Galveston. I live 40 minutes away and drive out there every Friday to play a round. I'm never disappointed and every trip out there is like a mini vacation. The food at the grill is great and staff is always wonderful.
Continue the awesome work folks !
Best Regards
Bob
