A Course Designed for Playability

One of the standout features of Moody Gardens Golf Club is its playability. The fairways are meticulously maintained, allowing golfers to easily find their ball and have a clear shot. The grass used on the course is a type of bluegrass that is salt tolerant, making it ideal for courses located near the ocean or saltwater. This grass provides a prime opportunity for golfers to achieve the kind of spin they see on TV and have better control over their shots.

The rough at Moody Gardens Golf Club is kept at a manageable level, ensuring that players are not overwhelmed with thick, difficult rough. This makes the course more enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. Additionally, the greens at Moody Gardens are well-maintained and offer a variety of challenges. Golfers will need to utilize their wedge game to navigate the tight lines and varying slopes on the greens.
