Needing some attention

Overall I’d give it a fair rating which would improve if traps were taken care of and people would actually take them. Greens were sub par and slow but could be due to drought conditions with exception of clover on greens.

Silverthorn

Grass range is a plus, but no real markers just an open field with a few poles. Starter was there at arrival, disappeared by 10:30 and no where to be seen. Residents with no tee time jumped on the course and played between tee times, causing us to wait every hole.

Greens were actually in very good shape. Fairways were thin with little grass. Bunkers were unplayable, the absolute worst I've seen. When you walk across the bunker, the sand was so hard I couldn't even see my footprints.

The resident I paired with even mentioned this used to be a phenomenal course that appears to be let go. If the bunkers and fairways come around, this could be one of the best. The layout is difficult from the tips.

Green and challenging

Been a long time since playing the course. Greens are very good, best I've played in the last several months. Fairways and tees are ok, patchy brown, just need some rain to green up.

Will play again.

Good course

Good layout.

Good greens.

Fairways on back nine leave a lot to be desired.

Had three groups jump in on the back nine

which totally ruined pace of play.

No ranger to complain too.

Seriously detracted from enjoyment.
