Moody Gardens

My family and I were on vacation in Galveston and I decided to play Moody Gardens. Good course, good layout, and plenty of water. I definitely recommend this course to anyone visiting the Galveston area.

Dawn was amazing! Great personality, very informative and kind!

Great greens, course in nice shape. Lots of water and wind provided a tough test. Watch out for the mosquitoes. Driving range nice. Clubhouse meh, they messed up our food order at the turn.

The fairways are clean and the greens but some of the tee box need some work but overall is a nice place to play

I play The Moody Gardens Golf Club every visit to Galveston Island. It’s always in top shape year around. Very professional atmosphere from the Pro shop to the practice tee, and threw out the Course. I highly recommend and build it into your visit to Galveston Island.

Greens were so fast but fun. Great time. Course was in great shape

Really enjoyed the course in early June. In the rough and near water hazards there were a lot of mosquitos. I think 16 of the 18 holes had water...so needless to say with the wind I lost a lot of balls. Disappointed with the sand traps, they were very hard and had very little sand in them (surprising since were on the sandy beach!). Fairways and greens were in great shape. Each hole had it's unique challenges, but I had a lot of fun playing the course!

I’ve played this course many times and it’s a gem! I took my wife out to play on Memorial Day and got paired with another couple who come to find out don’t get to play a whole lot and there to have fun. We were keeping up till about hole 7 and let the group behind us to play through. The course wasn’t super busy given the rain from that morning. At the turn the Marshall was rude to us saying we are not allowed to let people play through, have to keep up, and to skip holes to keep up. The girls felt bad at this point and decided to not play that much and changed the whole mood of our holiday. Marshall could have handled the situation much differently to educate and enrich the experience to new golfers to the game. Won’t bring the wife back.

We were welcomed by the staff in the Pro Shop, she was the absolute sweetest. She got us checked in and ready to go in no time. It rained a little in the beginning but overall it was a fun filled day. I would come back.

The course is a links style with very few trees. The layout is challenging with the wind and water as major defenses. The day we played the wind was out of the Southeast at a little more than 15 Knots (20+ mph). It was tough. The greens were very slow because of aeration a few weeks earlier. 5 par 5s and 5 par 3s make for a fun day. The staff was very nice and maintained a decent pace of play with the marshall talking to groups on the back nine. I will try to go back soon.

We’ve played this course several times. Not tool long and always in good shape. We love it and try to make it back every year or two. Looking forward to the next time!

The course was in very good condition and dry which was amazing based on the amount of rain that they received the day before. The staff was friendly and courteous. Almost every hole has water on the left and the right making it challenging. The greens, which were aeriated about 14 days earlier were a little bumpy but that was to be expected.

The course was very nice. Well layed out, pace of play was good. Only down side was they recently plugged the greens and covered with sand... with the wind some of the holes had little drifts so putting was tough. Lots of water so if don't hit straight bring extra balls.
