Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club - Gator/Panther Course
About
Located just northwest of Tampa, Silver Dollar Golf & Trap Club sprawls across the lush landscape of the west Florida coast. The club offers three nines: the Gator, the Panther, and the Bobcat. The nines can be played individually for a quick round or in three different 18-hole combinations. The Gator/Panther layout offers a good balance of challenges and player-friendly features. Narrow, tree-lined fairways are complemented by generous landing areas. There are sparkling lakes and ponds that come into play on a few holes and strategically placed bunkers are situated along the greensides. In addition to the three golf courses, Silver Dollar boasts one of the area's most extensive practice facilities, which includes a full driving range, two putting greens, a pitching and chipping green with a sandtrap, and three practice holes.

We can then all over the course Photo submitted by Gilbert3585586 on 05/27/2013
Best bang for your buck
Received a golf voucher to play the course at 1:45 but being early, got sent out early, surprisingly. We followed no one and had a single a few holes behind us. The course is challenging enough, particularly the water holes. My partner, a long hitter, ran into difficulties. Not hitting as long, I had no problems. The greens were quick & in good shape. The cart server was friendly & came around often. We got around in 3 hours, had fun & were well pleased with the course. While there is a nearby shooting range, there were few bang bangs, and not enough to be a nuisance. You can shoot a low score here if you pay attention & are careful placing your shots. Go for broke & you’ll be sorry you did.
Course is being repaired
Staff was helpful and friendly. Tee boxes didn't have much grass and weren't level. Most fairways had bare spots. In fairness we haven't had much rain this year. I'll try again in a few months.
Better
Second time. Played the yellow tees (under my max of 6000 Yds). MUCH better for me. Still a LOT of water and gators!
Brutal
First time. Should have played from the yellow tees, not the whites. 6100 yds from the white, which is above my limit...(I'm 71 years old). Ponds EVERYWHERE, even in the middle of the fairways...greens were pretty good. Better than many I have played here in Florida. Lots of gator sightings too!
I will be back. But I will pay from the yellow tees!
Challenging but fun course.
It was my first time at this course and I was by myself ended up getting paired with two older guys who were super nice and guided me through most of the course. I really enjoyed it greens are great you got to really tap it in or it just keeps going. Tee boxes were kept up with and the food was great!
Going downhill
The course has gone from a 3 to a 2-2.5 because of the tee boxes and fairways. No grass in 25-30% of the fairways and at least 50% of teeboxes were a mess. The greens on the other hand were in very good condition.
Keep looking
Course was in terrible condition. Most of the holes have no grass. This is sad because it was once a very nice course. Don’t waste your money here. There are too many decent courses near by.
Wont be back
The tee boxs and fairways need to be redone. there is little to no grass in the fairways on most holes. tee boxes need grass and leveling. 48 dollars is alot of money for a course in this condition
Needs work
First, a twosome with one set of clubs between them should not be allowed at 7:15a. Suggestions… close tee boxes and reseed. A lot were just dirt. Many fairways had thin grass or just devoid of grass and majority of greens were being overtaken by weeds. This course needs work and for the public coming onto this course, better value elsewhere.
Silver Dollar
This course needs help. Good layout but needs more grass in the fairways. Bumpy greens.
