Moody Gardens

As always the course was in great shape, even in the middle of "winter". The greens were rolling fast and true. Love the layout, it has several risk/reward opportunities along with some tough solid holes. Staff was great as always, pace of play was good as well. We finished in under 4 hours, even with 5 foursomes teeing off before us.

I enjoyed the course. It had some interesting holes. Generous fairways. Only the worst shots were in danger of going into the plentiful water. The traps were in excellent shape. A few holes played a little long for me with average drives of about 215. I had to lay up to hazard with 2nd shot on a few par 4 holes, or had a long carry. Played alone in 3 1/2 hrs and hit lots of practice shots. Only let 1 group through

Super friendly Pro Shop staff. The practice area and driving range was in great condition. The course layout was interesting to play and made me think about quite a few of the shots before I hit them. The backside is a little tighter than the front and you may need to bring a few extra golf balls. I look forward to playing the course again!

Came from Conroe to play this course and it was worth the trip. Moody Gardens will make you use every club in your bag. Wind can be a big factor so you need to use your imagination with many shots. Paspalum grass is different than most of the grass we play.

Course conditions were about as perfect as they could be. Brings lots of balls, water along every fairway.

Course is challenging, especially the back 9. It was kept in great condition. Fairways were like carpet and greens rolled true.

Can't blame the course on the unusually high winds conditions, and will be back to play again soon. Great layout overall...to be picky, I'm not a fan of holes that double back on each other, and that is my only criticism. Excellent condition. I was expecting greens to be faster based on reviews - they're immaculate and run true, but certainly not what I would consider fast at all. I'm thinking the wind conditions kept people away, but we pretty much had the course to ourselves - never waited on anyone and was never pushed. Definitely worth the time if a moderate green fee can be found. We paid $40 ea.

This was the second time in 3 weeks that I've played here and the course is in amazing condition. The fairways are well kept, not to soft or hard, and with no patches. The greens are impeccable and as green as can be. I absolutely recommend this course.

Beautiful course. Fantastic layout. Greens are flawless and a little quick. Fairways are pristine. Rough is very tough to play out of, a little spongy, which made chipping a fun challenge. Would have liked to see a better course map / hole layout guide as there are some semi-blind shots I would have played differently had I known where I was headed. Staff was friendly. Played in a relaxed 4 hours on Sunday morning. Equivalent in quality to Black Horse (when Black Horse is at it's best). Drove from downtown Houston and will be back again, well worth the 1hr drive.

Course was very well-kept, greens immaculate, friendly helpful staff. Great place to play.

Fairways are soft, you need to swing through to carry the ball. Greens are perfect. Challenging enough that I am going again tomorrow.

First time down here and I really enjoyed it. Played from the orange tees which makes some of the holes pretty long (especially into the prevailing wind). Couple of shots I would like to have back and would do better with having played once before. Make sure you have the correct pin locations. I would definitely come back - worth the drive.

condition of the course was outstanding.

I have played this course many times all different times of the year and it has always been in great shape. The greens and fairways were perfect.

For the time of year conditions great. Staff very friendly. First to tee off so no issue with pace. Weather may have kept people away but no rain for us. Keep in fairways cause rough just deep enough to hide stray ball. Only complaint was pesky mosquitos. Definitely play again.

The course is in great condition, both fairways and greens. It is a fun course to play. The only drawback was the pace of play. The wind makes the course play long for short hitters. Saw several groups not playing ready golf. No marshalls to keep pace moving. Five hour round on a weekday when the course wasn't packed. I would still highly recommend playing the course if you can.

Course was in excellent shape but the weather beat me down by the 18th. I was expecting at least a breeze. Wonderful course

This was my first time playing this track and I was impressed. The course was in excellent condition. Every part of the course was well manicured and looked amazing. The front 9 were all beautifuly designed holes. Back 9 for some reason didn't look as amazing, although they were still nice.

The wind caught me by surprise as it gusted pretty hard pretty much non-stop.

Overall it was a fantastic day of golf at a beautiful course. I will return!

This is originally the Galveston municipal course. I played from the tips and found it to be a lot more challenging than I expected. With alot of water in play and holes that try to disguise the landing areas quite a bit, it is not your typical simple muni. The course was in good shape, the fairways are lush, the greens a bit soft (they were aerated when I played). All in all, I found it to be a delight. Nice wildlife, good views of the bay, you get to see any airport activity, etc. And definitely more challenging than I originally thought since it is a links style with few trees and wide fairways. Beware of the wind as well! If you like the natural part of golf as much as the golf, this is worth a play.

The course was in excellent shape with the exception of the greens which had been plugged and sanded (which I knew about before playing). The food and service in the grill was below par so the next time I go there, I will eat somewhere else and then enjoy my round. The grill left a lot to be desired.
