Moody Gardens

It was a sunny, but windy day (15-20 mph). The layout is good, but course isn’t in resort fee shape. It’s two-stars for value in my mind due to conditions on many tees and fairways. Around the green is good.

I didn’t partake in food. Sped of play was excellent until hole 14/15 when the course was congested.

Back nine has water on every hole ..... I found more than I lost, can’t say that for my two playing partners. I might return when back in the area, if I see course conditions are in resort-level.

Played here today for my first time, had a great day of golf joined up with two guys that were awesome and great help. I enjoyed every second of today definitely worth the money and can’t wait to go back and play

Love this course, I lost 4 balls today, I never lose a ball , better have your A game , going again next week, love the Greens , very good

GREAT course to play!!! You'll get your moneys worth!! The course is in fantastic shape. A very challenging course, especially when the wind is gusting. Expect to lose some balls. The staff is friendly and professional. I will always play this course every time I'm in the region!!!!

If you want to have a great round of golf then visit this place. I'm a local and really love it. Make a day of it...and have lunch or dinner on the seawall. You wont be disappointed.

Overall this was a great course in very nice condition for December. The staff was friendly and a beverage cart came by several times during our round. The starter gave us some tips before we began our round that were very helpful to first timers. The layout gives off a tropical feel with all the palm trees and ocean breeze. Highly recommend playing here if you have the opportunity.

Poor first impression with the guy behind the counter saying "we are out of carts, make them walk" and then the guy at the register trying to charge me a higher rate than my golfnow rate. Once it all got straighted out I was given a key and dismissed. Once I found my group and we teed off things went much better from there. Course conditions were very good and it was an enjoyable layout. Not sure why they were out of carts because the parking lot wasn't that full. Seems as if they managed things a bit better from the shop this could be a top notch golf experience. Perhaps a starter to manage the tee and carts.

I have asked Moody Gardens at least 15 times to unsubscribe me since 2018. Do not give them your email address.

So maybe my review is partially tinged by the fact that I shot the round of my life, but I was stunned by the immaculate condition of this course. I've played some really fancy courses--Harbour Town, Poipu Bay, PGA National--none were in better condition. The staff was friendly, pace of play was good, and the beer was cold after the round. Kudos to the guys and gals who work there. I wish I lived closer to Galveston.

Had a great round. A challenging layout in terrific condition.

Will be back again soon!!!

A very challenging golf course with excellent greens, well manicured fairways, friendly staff, and excellent facilities.

The course is in excellent condition. Course is challenging, especially with the wind. Pace of play is a little slow in the morning. Greens are fast and in great shape.

Course in great condition overall. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Friendly staff was a plus.

Course was well maintained & in Great condition. From the T box to the fairway, bunkers, greens, it was a very nice course. The only negative was the starter/Marshall, he wasn’t very friendly. The course marshal that we spoke with, while playing, was much more personable. Slight negative compared to the many positives at this course.

It was sunny 70 degrees the wind was light, fairways were lush and greens were smooth and rolling true, my first hole was a birdie. This is a fun course, tight narrow fairways with water hazards on nearly every holes. I happened to play well today so really enjoyed it . Highly recommended!

Always enjoy rounds here at Thanksgiving. Only issues were some clover overtaking some tees and uneven conditions in bunkers.

Moody Gardens course is always in great shape. My junior daughters and I are never disappointed coming here. The woman checking us in at the pro shop is always very friendly and helpful!

I frequent this course often. It's a challenging course that is well taken care of, the drainage is decent, and you can typically play 90 degree cart rules around the 2nd-3rd day after a heavy rain (it takes a little longer to dry out in the colder months). There is always a breeze here and it makes playing in the hot summer very enjoyable. The course plays differently spring/summer with the southern gulf winds, to fall/winter with the colder northern winds. Most of the staff is extremely friendly and inviting, they are open to advice on course play, and friendly conversation. The practice facilities are well kept, and I rarely have to hit off of the mats at the range. The course greens are in a good condition in the early weekends, and when most players repair their divots. One downside to the course is the bunker play, where some are better than others, and some still need reworking/filling. Maintainance is continually working on bunker and drainage repairs, it's obvious that a lot of care and attention is being given to this course.
