My favorite local course

Great course and friendly staff. Course is well maintained, but needs ball washers and more rakes.

Resort course. 8/1/2023.

Greens - outstanding flawless salt water grass. Can’t say enough of how good.
Fairways excellent and generously wide.
Bunkers average.
WATER WATER EVERYWHERE. Some require carries.
No shade 100 deg. Light wind, no mosquitoes. Hooray.
Next to airport - fun watching touch and go.
Only negative - credit card ONLY. Bag of chips - credit card. Drink - credit card.

Icing on the cake

I was in Galveston to celebrate a birthday; so glad I brought my clubs. Moody Gardens is the best maintained course that I have played to date. Though I am a relatively new golfer, I don't think anyone can find fault in maintenance and aesthetics here. I played only the front 9, and it was on a late Friday afternoon, and hardly anyone was there! I let one guy play though and then I had the holes all to myself with none in sight until approaching the pro shop. Honestly, the solitude put this experience on the all-time favorites list. The course from the ladies' tee boxes was challenging within reason regarding Bunker placement, but I didn't have to go over any water once while the other tee boxes did. There was a fairly steady and strong breeze that would visibly change ball direction while putting, so imagine the effect in flight!

This course is a beauty

Course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was good too. Was very unlucky this time because the play got called off 2/3 way through when thunder storm came in, considering the 85 mile one-way drive i have to make.
