About Moody Gardens
Moody Gardens is a large resort and attraction area with a hotel, conference center and 18 holes of golf in the coastal town of Galveston, Texas. It is well known for its three pyramids home to an aquarium and rain forest attractions. It has not only an onsite waterpark but is next to Schlitterbahn as well. There are six dining concepts, as well as a spa and fitness center. It's within easy access to historic downtown Galveston, Pleasure Pier and the beaches. The golf course originally opened in 1989 but was totally redesigned by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy in 2008. This watery layout features scenic views of the gulf, bridges and bayous, and the back nine plays alongside the small Galveston airport. The course is links-inspired with gulf breezes and wall-to-wall paspalum turf. Historic Galveston is less than an hour's drive from downtown Houston, making Moody Gardens a popular day trip destination as well as for weekend vacation getaways.Facts

Cant book tee time at the course.
It’s sad when you actually call the course to book a tee time for a two some and the person at the pro shop says you can’t have the 7:00 tee time because you don’t have a foursome and you can’t have the 7:10 tee time because that’s for a foursome , but no one has booked those tee times yet. I was told that we can have the 7:30 am tee time which is crap. I will never play this course ever again
Grass in great shape
Fairway and greens were great. A few tee boxes needed work. Bunkers in desperate need of sand

Moody is in good shape
The greens were excellent and the fairways were good. Must be able to recycle the sewage water from the Moody Gardens Hotel as it is very green.

I am a member and have never found a course that is consistently in great shape. Add the fact membership is reasonable, a very friendly and helpful staff and I can honestly say, this is the best course of about 6 to 8 courses, I’ve ever belonged to.

Pace Of Play
Pace of play is too slow. The course Marshall needs to have larger groups let smaller groups play through.

Staff was very friendly. If first time playing, make sure to have gps on hand to find your way around the course.. Fairways are in great shape and greens are fast. Stock up on golf balls if can not keep ball in fairways cause water is in play on 17 out of 18 holes! Great course.
