Moody Gardens Golf Course

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.
