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

Better than I expected
Not knowing anyone who played here before and not reading reviews I thought it would be just another flat touristy island course. Boy was I wrong! It was a pleasant surprise to find a challenging layout here on the island. As soon as you let your guard down the course bites back with some of the best par 5's I'd played in some time. I look forward to a revenge round in the summer when I hope the wind will be more kind.
Spring Time Conditions
The greens and fairways were better than average but not excellent. Tee boxes were in poor condition. Tee boxes were flat but had different types of grasses and were about 1" tall. Fertilizer has been applied recently. Course should be in excellent shape in a month. The course is still worth playing in its current state.

Finest Public Golf Course
I had a tremendous golf outing at Moody Gardens today! I even played well. The ball on the greens were rolling nicely, not too slow, not too fast. Lots of hazards, but one can play a greater score with repetition.
I am really looking forward to playing again and again!!
