Moody Gardens Golf Course in Galveston, Texas, is a premier public golf course offering a seaside, tropical experience on the island. After a $16 million renovation led by Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design, the course preserves the original layout's character while elevating play with new turf, greens, elevations, irrigation, drainage, cart paths, and a refreshed clubhouse. Opened in 2008 as Moody Gardens Golf Course (formerly Galveston Municipal), it remains city-owned and Moody Gardens-managed, reinforcing its status as a first-class public option for locals and visitors.
The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches 6,816 yards with a 73 slope, featuring Paspalum turf ideal for coastal conditions. Expect water features and a coastal landscape: upland and lowland native areas, Sydnor Bayou wetlands, and over 500 palms. A state-of-the-art water treatment and irrigation system keeps surfaces pristine while supporting sustainable groundskeeping. For tee times, book with GolfWithBrio.
Situated just steps from Moody Gardens and Galveston Island's iconic shoreline, the course blends lush fairways with native wetlands, offering challenging holes without sacrificing walkability. Located at 1700 Sydnor Ln, Galveston, TX 77554.
