My golf partner and I have been playing golf at the Silver Dollar for 4 years. We really enjoy the layout and price, however today the pro shop manager was really rude to my partner. We know this time of year we should have a tee time but we just wanted to get some golf in. The pro shop manager made a point in front of other customers to chastise my friend for not calling first. The course was not that busy. If I spoke to customers at the airport the same way he spoke to us I would be looking for another job.Mike M
The course can be challenging. The fairways and greens were spoty from a groundskeeping point of view. As you tend to tee off or putt with concentration, it can be quite nerve racking as there is an outdoor gun club with shotguns going off. Call to see if there is some kind of gun tourney when you want to play. If not, it then can be relaxing.
We play this course often. We know that this is not a top ranking course but for the average golfer like me it's great. The staff are friendly and helpful and the price is rightl. The clubhouse is not fancy and neither is the food but it's great for a quick bite and a beer.
Decent track for the money.....Some of the 27 holes seem a bit artificial as if they were an after thought (#1 on the BobCat and Gator)Rough is pathetic but the price is probably the lowest in town
I played Silver Dollar a month ago and it was in good shape with a special effort made on greens maintenance this year. It is one of my favorite courses and one of my "home" ones at that. The nature scenes on some holes are breathtaking and the course layout is exceptional. I would have to say it is a good variety of holes that vary from wide open to tight so you have to use your head . The tees are in great shape as the greens as well. In addition the club pro Bobby Capobianco is personable and has great knowledge as a teaching pro. The club offers Karaoke on select Friday Nights and it is one heck of a party. Other great people that run the facility are always willing to please. I highly recommend this great day os golf and is a hidden jewel in Odessa Florida. Worth the trip!!!!!!!!!!
I like Silver dollar for the wildlife (imagine the 11 foot gator here) the ease of the course (greens are not too fast), and its easy to reach location tucked away in Northwest Hillsborough County. Its inexpensive and much easier to get to than you think!!
The golf was ok, course conditions were only alright, greens weren't the greatest. What made it a poor experience was the guy behind the counter named Art. He treats people horribly and it wasn't just me but the people in front of me in line as well. It was if we were putting him out by coming there to play. Simply amazing owners allow people like that to be in contact with their customers. I won't be back until someone tells me they fired him.
This is a rather impressive set-up. The trap and skeet range is the largest in Florida + Tony and I visited twice because he really loved this range. We had a yummy breakfast here as well. The prices are reasonable, the staff and patrons are friendly. Thus far this is the best trap and shoot range I have visited. I love the fact that there are these cute little homes Silver Dollar. They are available for purchase at a very affordable rate - what a lovely idea for retired folks with a limited budget - this way you can practice skeet, trap and golf daily with like-minded people and live walking distance or a golf cart ride from home. The club house has a large amount of branded clothing for sale - Tony shopped here quite a bit and it was affordably priced.
Descent layout conditon changes are drastic when it is wet and they hardly ever close. If it is cart path only I would stay away. This course is also part of a large skeet shooting range that has huge tournaments and they shoot right in front of the club house.
I like this golf course its challenging but also playable by a beginner. The Pro-shop is efficient with a nice bar and restaurant attached. There are 27 holes to play the course is not well maintanied but good enough for an enjoyable round.
