About Moody Gardens
Moody Gardens is a large resort and attraction area with a hotel, conference center and 18 holes of golf in the coastal town of Galveston, Texas. It is well known for its three pyramids home to an aquarium and rain forest attractions. It has not only an onsite waterpark but is next to Schlitterbahn as well. There are six dining concepts, as well as a spa and fitness center. It's within easy access to historic downtown Galveston, Pleasure Pier and the beaches. The golf course originally opened in 1989 but was totally redesigned by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy in 2008. This watery layout features scenic views of the gulf, bridges and bayous, and the back nine plays alongside the small Galveston airport. The course is links-inspired with gulf breezes and wall-to-wall paspalum turf. Historic Galveston is less than an hour's drive from downtown Houston, making Moody Gardens a popular day trip destination as well as for weekend vacation getaways.Facts

A classic Galveston 18 holes
I enjoyed the round. I played the course as a single. It was a good test really hot and the wind was blowing good at least 20mph consistently. A good course to work on course management and my own strategy. Made some progress with my game there. The lines off the tee are demanding but with solid tee shots the approach's are solid, doable, and clear.

This course is a beauty
Course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was good too. Was very unlucky this time because the play got called off 2/3 way through when thunder storm came in, considering the 85 mile one-way drive i have to make.

Very challenging
The course was in excellent shape, and it was very challenging! The wind plus lots of water combination proved to be tough as I usually shoot in the low 90's. Yea I lost about 8 balls ,but still was able to par the last hole to finish the round. The greens are fast and I can't believe this couse isn't ranked!!
