⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of playing at Moccasin Wallow Golf Club last Friday morning, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! Despite the area having been through two hurricanes, Helene and Milton, the course was in fantastic shape—everything from the fairways to the greens looked pristine. It's clear that the owner and staff have put in tremendous effort to maintain the course, and it really shows. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience was memorable. Now, for the "golfing" experience... Let’s just say I ended up behind a group of six who had clearly never seen a golf course before, let alone played on one. I swear, the amount of frontal lobe damage required to make the decisions they were making had to be severe. These guys were out there playing a completely different sport — if there was a "how not to play golf" competition, they would’ve been the undisputed champions. From the one who used his driver on the tee box like he was launching a rocket to the guy who thought the sand trap was a beach resort (he was basically living in it), it was a circus of chaos. But hey, at least they didn’t lose their balls. They just hit them in places no golf ball has any business going. On several occasions, they acted completely disrespectful toward both the course and the staff. At one point, one of the guys, who clearly had a "no brain, no problem" attitude, actually told the owner, “I don’t care, this is my last day to golf and I’m leaving!” — as if the course owed him a personal farewell party. I just couldn’t believe it. I mean, who needs to have that much "frontal lobe malfunction" to think that kind of behavior is okay on a golf course? In all my years of golf I have never snuck booze on to a golf course. There are many reasons why they don’t allow booze: 1. Liability and Insurance: Golf courses that serve alcohol are usually licensed by the local authorities. Serving alcohol comes with certain legal responsibilities, and allowing outside alcohol can create confusion or complications with their insurance policies and licensing agreements. 2. Revenue Generation: Golf courses make a significant portion of their revenue from food and beverage sales, including alcohol. Allowing outside alcohol would take away from that potential income, as players may bring their own drinks instead of purchasing from the club's bar or cart service. 3. Safety and Responsibility: By controlling the alcohol served on the course, golf courses can better monitor and manage alcohol consumption to ensure player safety. Unregulated drinking from outside sources could lead to overconsumption, which might result in risky or inappropriate behavior on the course. 4. Quality Control and Experience: Golf courses often curate the food and drink experience to complement the overall atmosphere they wish to provide. Outside alcohol can disrupt the experience they want to offer, including maintaining quality standards for the beverages they serve. 5. Consistency in Rules: By enforcing a no-outside-alcohol rule, golf courses create consistency in the rules for all players. It ensures that everyone adheres to the same expectations, reducing any potential disputes or unfair advantages that could arise from different players bringing in alcohol of varying strengths or quantities. Overall, I highly recommend Moccasin Wallow Golf Club for anyone looking for a well-maintained, beautiful course to play, and I’m already looking forward to my next round!

Clean and challenging course. Some of the tee boxes are in need of some minor repair. Little dry which is understandable as the wet season is just starting. Greens were IMMACULATE except the 18th. They were also fast and true. My only pet peeve with this course is that there is zero cart service. To the management: please consider putting 2 igloo coolers along the front nine and 2 along the back if cart service is not feasible. It is Florida and it is hot and humid. Customers cant carry that much water in a single container. You would not only be avoiding a potential liability out there but it is also a great courtesy when you're charging $60 to $70 for a round. In the meantime, golfers, bring at least a 64oz or 128oz bottle. Inconvenient but necessary. Super nice course overall. Would definitely return when im on that side of Florida again.

I’ve got to say, I absolutely love this course. Initially pulling up to the spot, it’s a bit unassuming, but after having played 5+ rounds here I can say it’s a hidden gem. The fairway is well maintained, the greens, while there are some spots that need touched up, are some of the fasted & most consistent greens I have played. Bunkers do leave a bit to be desired, but overall I do leave my rounds here satisfied… for the most part. As much as I’d love to give this course 5 stars, there is 1 glaring reason I cannot. The lady working the pro shop is absolutely miserable & seems irritated to have to even be there. As stated, I’ve become a semi-regular there. In our 1 on 1 interactions she has rubbed me the wrong way but I just assumed perhaps our personalities didn’t mesh. After this past memorial day weekend I can say it is not just me, but rather anybody she encounters. Not only does it seem like an issue if you have to rent clubs, ask a question, anything really, but she must be hard of hearing as most things you say to her are met with a LOUD “WHAT?”. I stood in a line of 5 people and watched as she huffed & puffed at each person for even the smallest request and overall was unpleasant. With this course being in my backyard I’ve heavily considered becoming a member but can say with certainty that her disposition has made me think twice & I’d be surprised if the course has not lost repeat business due to her. Overall, give this place a shot, just spend as little time as possible in the pro shop!

It’s a good layout and good value for a sub $80 round in season. Greens had some damage, but away from the pins and grass was splotchy in some areas. But enjoyable.

I've come to Parrish from St. Petersburg to play this golf course since it was Imperial Lakewoods (1990s to 2017). Since new ownership, the course has changed in so many good ways. The greens are awesome and the the tee boxes are much improved. Forward tee (red) areas are a great addition for beginning players! But the improvement in the fairways over the past few years is nothing short of a miracle. They are on par with Mangrove Bay in St. Petersburg. Attention to good golf course management has really paid off. This facility is a hidden gem and likely to become much more popular as the building boom in the area continues.
