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

Golf course is in very good condition. Staff wasnt overly friendly but not rude either. Dont like the fact that they dont except cash.

Always wanted to play and enjoyed it.
Considering this course is on an island it’s great. Don’t forget the mosquito spray. You will need it.

Great value for the money

Just make sure to bring bug spray!

Very nice golf outing.
Everyone was friendly and the course was very nice. The greens had been worked, but that is just the luck of the draw. Spraying for mosquitos would not hurt as well. I would recommend this to everyone.

Great course
The only reason my value and course condition ratings are a little low is the greens had just been aggressively aerated and the rate was still full pop. I think a slight discount would have been fair. That aside, this is a great course in great shape. All course staff I came in contact with were great from pro shop attendant to bev cart person and all Marshalls. I played 2 rounds right after a big rain and the course drained well and was back to 90 degree cart path rule after 1 day. I look forward to playing here many more times.

Aerated greens
They aerated last week. Putting was poor as expected. My problem with this is no notice of this until we got to the course. And I have always felt the green fees should be discounted when the greens are freshly aerated.

Player
The golf experience was not good on this day. The front nine was closed and we were instructed to play the back nine twice. The greens were punched and sanded and not worthy of play.
No alert was given when I made the reservation on GolfNow of the course conditions.
