Moody Gardens

Moody Gardens was a great course with a great price. Played it for the first time on the 10th of Mar. the weather was a little foggy but nice and cool. The greens were in great condition. Plenty of water all over the course.

Despite large landing areas, the wind off the ocean really challenges your ball flight along with the traps strategically placed. The greens were in good shape, reasonably fast for a resort course and consistent. I'd come back next time I'm in town.

This course is great. For being number 46 on top course in the US it's a great deal. Don't think you'll be able to find anything better for the price.

The experience was absolutely wonderful. The course was in excellent condition, the weather was perfect, the pace of play was good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a top shelf experience without the cost!

Course was in great shape no doubt helped by the mild winter and the day was aided by lighter than normal winds and great weather on the day we played. We will be back soon.

Played on a Friday and didn't catch another group until hole 18. Great course conditions and challenging layout. Nice practice facilities as well.

From Houston to Galveston, this is the best course hands down. Very difficult and challenging course and equally beautiful

The wind made it extremely difficult. Otherwise it was a very nice course

Great course a bit windy the day we played and the greens were very fast. Overall we had a great time. Staff very friendly.

Lot of water hazards but otherwise not very challenging. Friendly staff. Play was very slow due to scramble that was not listed on the course calendar. Would not have played if known it would be backed up. Value for money just ok.

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.
