We played this course twice while on vacation. Beautiful golf course! Very well maintained. Coastal links style. Fun track! Highly recommend playing here!

Clubhouse staff was very nice. Cart lady was wonderful. Starters/rangers were some of the biggest jerks I have ever interacted with on a golf course. We were treated like children and monitored like prisoners on house arrest for 18 holes. We had two tee times back to back and we wanted to play with the 6 golfers in our group to keep our group together because there weren't any tee times after us for 20 minutes and we didn't see anyone ahead of us for at least 4 holes. We were playing a best ball scramble so we figured it would help speed things up, and we promised to keep pace of play and even offered to leave after 4 hours if we didn't finish our round. The starter's response to that was to yell at us, park his cart right behind us, and refuse to let 2 of us play our tee shots until the rest of our group was off the green- on a +500 yard par 5, mind you. His exact words were "There isn't a golf course in the country that will let you play 6 people!" And "You'd better not go play that tee shot!" Ridiculous and, frankly, embarrassing behavior from a man who appeared to be at least in his 70s. This course itself is fine, but it is nothing special and nowhere near nice enough (multiple unplayable tee boxes and over-aerated greens to the point where sand clouds kicked up on all of our approach shots) to have workers on this much of a power trip. We listened to what the workers said on the first tee and despite our best efforts to follow their rules, keep our groups separate, keep pace of play, fix our divots, respect the course, and tip the cart lady well, we STILL had rangers pull up to us multiple times while we were playing to tell us that "the clubhouse is watching you guys like hawks." That is not a fun way to be treated, nor was it enjoyable to see rangers and starters trying to hide behind trees/bushes in their carts clearly watching us on dang near every other hole. We were also stopped on 18 after teeing off to be told, "You'd better not have 6 guys on the 18th green!" What a nauseating way to end a round of golf. The behavior of these workers made what would have been an enjoyable round with friends legitimately unpleasant. One of our players was also forced to buy a collared shirt in the pro shop, which was fine, but then we saw multiple players on the course wearing t shirts and sleeveless shirts. Maybe locals? Whatever the case, this was a laughable and blatant double standard. There was no answer when we tried call call ahead to order our food at the turn and when we got there, the worker straight up refused to make a burger for one of our players. The hot dogs, however, were delicious. Credit where credit is due, but when the hot dogs at the turn are the highlight of the whole day, that's not a good sign for a golf course.

BEAUTIFUL golf course! I'd recommend it again and again. The lady in the pro shop was the sweetest person ever. The course is very well taken care with lots and lots of surroundings water. Everyone is helpful and nice around the course. If you get a chance to go I wouldn't hesitate to book a tee time.

the course is absolutely beautifull!! i am posting this on oct 16 2025 for reference to the time of year. i dont think you can find a finer public course in the houston/ galveston area. they really do a great job of being consistant on the green speeds and all the greens look and feel great. i have been a member at bay oaks country club of houston and can honestly say that moody’s greens compete with them. AGAIN moody is public and not private so i want to emphasize that. All of the tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers were all very well maintained as well. the nice lady working at the pro shop was so proffesional and very nice. the range was mats only for long clubs but very clean. the chipping and putting green are bar none. they have a full size bunker and wedge green ( i shot it in at 50 yds from divot to green) very long for a wedge area, well maintainted just like the course! my only complaint has nothing to do with the course or staff but it is with the mosquitos. its not just a bite every now and then but constantly and in large groups. there are also these little black knats that bite you as well. all i can say is BRING INSECT REPELLENT!! the course is on the island so this is to be expected but just a heads up for first timers.

This has always been my favorite course, even though it gets windy I feel like that makes it more exciting. I drove down from Houston to practice before my round here tomorrow, thinking I’d just practice and head to the hotel room. Found out the range was closed which was no big deal but the guy at front said I could chip and putt. He asked if I need a few golf balls and I said heck yea. I thought he was going to give me a few range balls, instead he pulled out 3 titleist and handed them to me. I think he got them out of his own bag. Told me to keep them not to worry about it. I will forever love this place but this added the cherry on top. To the young man I appreciate you for the kind gesture. I’ll probably end up leaving them on the course tomorrow 😆
