Moody Gardens

Amazing conditions. This golf course is better than any private course in Galveston County.

Greens could be faster. Very nice and beautiful golf course indeed.

The course was in great condition and has several holes that are scenic to take a photo.

There are plenty of obstacles to overcome here, but try not to think about all the water, scrub, sand traps, and wind you need to deal with. Oh yes -one more thing: Competition for food is feirce with grackles, so look out!!! There are very few weeds out here, just nice green grass everywhere. I like that!

One of the best rolling greens in Houston. Putts roll great and the course is in great shape. This course plays pretty long and the winds is fun and challenging.

Thirsty Thursday grabbed a hot deal on golfnow.com for a 7:50 am tee time for $18 after tax and fees the total was $22 . The course from all the past rain was the best I've ever seen it and highly recommend this place to play for anyone who enjoys a quality course.

Moody is always in perfect shape! Staff friendliness is a plus.

Great course in great shape...best I've seen it. Staff was very friendly. Marshall came around a few times. Asked my opinion of course, pace of play, etc. Honestly seemed interested in my opinion. Great price online.

Ask about the mosquitoes before booking. I never experienced them like this at this course before or ANYWHERE for that matter. We showed up only to find out when we were asked in the pro shop whether we had bug spray at which time he told us he had tried to play the day before but quit after 4 holes because the mosquitoes were so bad. We thought if the winds were strong enough, the mosquitoes wouldn't be able to fly in it. Unfortunately, the wind never got much over 10 mph, so it didn't help much. At times, we swarmed by way more than 50 at a time. Bug spray helped some. If you can play when the mosquitoes are gone or under control, the course conditions were excellent. The greens could use cutting a little shorter or rolled to make them a little faster, but they rolled true and were spotless of imperfections. The fairways also were lush, full and nearly as flawless as the greens. The course layout is challenging, but enjoyable, and with 5 sets of tees, you can choose a challenge suitable to your game. The forward tees are especially helpful for short hitters. Its nice to see a course which actually has forward tees FORWARD. I highly recommend the course in the mosquito "off season." BTW it frequently is windy on this course which makes it much more challenging.

Apparently they have aerated this course recently and the sand at the greens washed out.The ball looks like it's going down the plinko game on the price is right. There is no way you were going to get a true reading or roll on the greens. The locals told us that it takes five weeks for the holes to heal in the green at this course.. Also the sand traps are lacking sand very pan hard. The greenskeeper needs to do a better job, more sand on the greens so they can heal quicker would be nice. This course is a mile from the beach why not get some sand and fill in the bunkers?

This could be a great course if they would just put in some time and effort.

This was the first time that my golf buddies and I had played this course and the turf was outstanding. Not sure what type of grass they have, but it is some of the best I've played on thus far. The only downside was that the green had been aerated which was an issue for putting and getting your ball to check. But other than that, I will return to the place this course again.

Easily the best conditioned fairways in the Galveston/Houston......keep it in the fairway and be rewarded with a perfect lie ever time

Greens had been airated but still rolled well

The wind makes it tough, be ready!

We played the morning after a big rain storm. The fairways were in great shape and so were the greens. There were only a couple of bunkers that needed attention. We played at our own pace with only one group coming behind us on one hole. Overall it was a great experience and I'll definitely be back. Probably my new weekend course if I can get a good deal through golf now.

Played on my birthday (May 25) and the weather was excellent except for a constant wind from 25-35 mph that was in the face and crossing but seldom helping. The course was in first-class condition in every respect. My only beef would be the 18th hole, which was 399 yards from the senior tees, with the second a long carry over water directly into the worst of the wind. A daunting task for the longest hitters. Basically a par 6 on this afternoon.

This is the best course in Galveston county. Fairways and greens are always in great shape. And a good value when booked through GolfNow...

Galveston's municipal course managed by Moody Gardens Resort. It's a great place to play with well kept greens and fairways. Can be pricy at times but 2pm twilight times and the 5 holes at 5pm is a great deal. There are few trees on the course and the boundaries of each hole are mostly kept by water and marsh shrubs. Bring extra balls you won't be able to retrieve many missed shots. Come out enjoy the sun and cool island breezes.

The course was in great shape green and fairways were perfect as was the weather the day we played 5/15/17 lite wind for the coast and only 82 for a high temp.

The staff was really friendly and nice

The course can be challenging if you don't hit fairly straight some holes have trouble on both sides

this course is a must play if you are in the Galveston area

Staff allowed us to play a couple of tee times later so we could warm up. Maintenance was outstanding. As good as either of my clubs. Greens like fast green silk carpet.
