Slower greens

This course is a staple for my buddy and me. We usually play it at least once a year due to the excellent greens and the course layout being able to be stretched out 6800 or 7000 yards. Course was a little dry but I don't know of anyone that would be surprised by that. Greens were a little slower than what I usually see at quicksilver but they were still smooth and at a good pace. Love this course and love it even better when I can get it for a steal in golfnow.com!

Excellent Course Value

Quicksilver is one of the finest public courses in the Pittsburgh area. It has a challenging layout with interesting greens. They keep the course in top condition and the $45 we paid to play mid day on Friday was an excellent value.

On top of it all, Jerry is one of the finest starters in the area.

Great Course tough greens

This was my first time playing this course, so not knowing the lines off the tee and not knowing pin positions made for a difficult round. However, if I was a local I would play this course regularly. The course is very scenic with tough greens. The 2 complaints I have about the course is the greens were too slow for the undulations of the green, which made difficult to lag putt. The other is not knowing what the pin positions were, the flags are the same color and there was not a pin position sheet in the cart. But like I said, had this not been my first time playing I would have had a better idea of where the pins were. Overall, I would love to play this course again knowing what I know now, especially with faster greens. I recommend this course to any intermediate or advanced golfer; you will love and respect the overall difficulty of the course. Also, if you can carry your drives at least 250+ play the blue or black tees.

Great Course!!

First time playing this course, and I was extremely impressed! Course was so well manicured and the greens were super fast with plenty of break. Great rate for such a beautiful golf course! Can't wait to go back to Pittsburgh.

Great course for a challenge

This course was in great shape and challenging. The greens were quick and the rough was thick. The only downside for this course was the GPS in the cart. For our group it was off most of the time. Also at the turn, there were 4 groups backed up which allowed for a long round. All in all, I will go back to visit this course again.

Very challenging course!

Played this course several times 25-30 years ago and loved the challenge then and now. A little too long from the white tees (6,510) for this 72 year old with a 16 handicap, but gold tees only play 5,109 and I felt too short for me. Prefer something closer to 6,000 yards! Enjoyed the round and I will return.

Rough was rough!

The course was in beautiful shape, greens fast, and the fairways excellent but the rough was way too high. Very difficult to advance the ball if you hit an errant shot. Otherwise a wonderful course!

About every 7 years......

About every seven years I give this place another chance. I obtained a huge discount, and played the course for $30. A good thing, because that's about all its worth. It just really lacks a lot of things. In fairness, the day was not so good because it had rained the night before and it was cart path only. Just not a plausible thing on this course. But, moreover, the greens were rough and more importantly, very inconsistent. You play two or three holes, get used to playing chips and high iron shots to bounce, and then one holds right in place and you have a 60 ft putt. There might have been a time when they actually put this course into decent enough shape, but the reality is there are way too many blind shots and the greens are simply of differing quality. A place to play, but may only every seven years....long enough to forget how inconsistent the greens are and how poor the layout of the course really is.

Course is only worth $30? This course would be over $115 in Chicago, NYC or DC! While it may not be what it was when it hosted the senior tour it's still better than most and one of the best in the region! Conditions wise too.

Great Layout

If you are looking to play a pro-style course, then you found it at Quicksilver. White tees are just about right for most golfers but they still have 2 sets further back. We played with 2 seniors and their tees were quite generous. Pace of play was a little slow only because the course was wet and it was cart path only. Not sure it had to be, but its their call. My main advice is to stay below the pin. The greens are fast and true!

Very nice course as anticipated

Course is well maintained. greens were fast and true. Rough was brutally long, thick, and nasty -Not fun if you don't hit the fairways. Pace of play was great, it seemed there were very few golfers on the course at all. Will play again for certain.

Wow !!!!! What a beautiful place !!!

It's early in the season and some courses are not even open yet. So how does this place stay so green and playable ? Staff was very nice and helpful. Booked tee time through GolfNow and got a super deal !! The course was challenging but fair We played from the white tees and being able to drive 230-250 yards that was the right tees to play. The greens were all filled in from being aerated last month so they rolled real well. Some of the greens are very undulated and are intimidating and some greens are very large so you can have some very tricky putts. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the traps were not fluffed up yet, you could tell they were packed down from the winters snows. But I'm sure that will soon be taken care of. I've played some really nice courses in my life and from what I've seen this is one of the nicest. Can't wait to see it in all its glory come mid summer!!! This is a must play again course for me, I think it's a must try course for you !!!!!

Great course

Everything about the course was great. The greens were aerated a couple weeks ago and they recovered pretty nicely. I played from golf now for under 20$ so that was great. The pace was a bit slow though. 4.5 hours. The staff could've been more friendly.

Nice course!

Very demanding course. Greens must've been recently aerated as they were incredibly bumpy, but were still playable and fast. Took five hours to play. No Marshall on the course to monitor it.
