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
Greens and fairways were in great shape. One of the best public courses in the region
Dag Nabit!
I will continue to play this course until I beat it! It always get the best of me. Great track and excellent conditions!
Moody Gardens, Galveston Texas
With out a doubt, Moody Gardens was one of the most well maintained courses I have ever played. Watch out of Hole 18!!!!!!
Best kept secret
One of the best conditioned courses in the Houston area BAR NONE... Played the course 30 days apart and was blown away both times. Tees, Fairways and Greens were top notch condition...
Challenging but playable
First time playing here and will definitely be back. The course is challenging but playable with lots of hazards that are avoidable. The greens are a little bumpy-It looks like they were recently seeded but they were beautiful. The pace was perfect, the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was well worth the hour drive down the Blue Water Highway and am looking forward to playing here again soon.
Unique Texas Treasure
A very unique course for Texas. Palm trees and water on almost every hole. Challenging but not too tough for higher handicappers. The greens had been recently aerated and were a little sandy but still rolled very well. A great getaway while visiting the Texas coast.
just happened to be there right after the greens were punched. With that said they were still better then most in the area.
sanding the greens
back 9 had the greens sanded and watered (made mud) could not putt so quite. No notice of sanding was present but should be ok in a few days
Perfect conditions!
The course was much easier today because the wind was down and temps were perfect. Greens were a tad bit slower in the afternoon. I am sure they were quicker in the morning rounds but they still rolled true.
Nice course
Course was in great condition, especially the greens. I was lucky enough to play when it wasn’t windy, but my score didn’t reflect it. It’s off the beaten path and I can’t wait to play it again soon
Down wind bliss
Greens are in terrific shape. Very plush and green.
Would definitely be back for more fun in the sun with lots of sand traps to catch wayward shots.
Island Golf
I recently moved to the Island and took up golf after a long hiatus. I have been playing at Moody’s recently and have been impressed with the facility and staff. Nice practice area and the course is challenging. The playing condition of the course has been consistently outstanding. The wind is in play!
Moody Golf Course Review
Great day at Moody Gardens. Course was in excellent condition. slight wind on front nine but moderate wind on the back made the back nine tough. No sand traps on the front but due to the wind hit seven traps on the back nine - made one "sandie"! Third time this year and the best course I have played in my 32 rounds this year!!!
Great round
Always a good experience at MG! The greens roll true, but wish they were more receptive to wedge play.
Challenging course
Well the wind was blowing briskly as usual. Makes club selection rather tricky. But this is one of the reasons I play this course. It is always in great shape.
Great Course but pricey
Overall good course but expensive. Ok layout, back 9 was excellent. Will go again but only with discount.
