Silverbell

The grass that was there was watered, however, there was a lot of dirt more than sand and lots of bare spots between so that was just mud. Greens had been aerated, but that happens, so not a big issue. All traps were hard dirt or mud. Very nice staff, very accommodating. Simply said the playing conditions were just not up to par for the price.

A fun City Course

The efforts that have been made to improve all of the city golf courses (seems to have started about four years ago) are evident here at Silverbell as well. I very-much enjoyed the day and even "reeled in" a respectable number of pars (for me, at least). The fairways were outstanding, and the greens were well maintained. I even sunk 3 or 4 long putts that ran true and had just enough "umph" to find the bottom of the cup. The course layout is very forgiving, and my occasional errant drive from the tee box was put back on-course to be "in the hunt for a par" all three times my driver's ugly slice showed up. The staff here is super pleasant and made me feel very welcomed and appreciated. I hadn't planned on playing on this day, but when I saw the deal that was offered on Golfnow, I put aside my chores list and scooted on over. The round ended up being one of my favorite golf-outings of the year so far as I was matched up with a band of very fun guys who cracked just the right amount of jokes, but also followed the etiquettes of the game.

Don't play here until they improve the course

We were a foursome playing here for the first time. We expected the course to be similar to El Rio or other city courses. Unfortunately, we were wrong.

As mentioned in many posts, the signage here is ridiculous. We got lost looking for holes and had to ask a mower to guide us to the next hole several times.

A can of spray paint from Walmart and some poster board nailed to trees would be better than what they have.

The city should either improve the course or close it and spend the money on the other city courses.

Consider us one and done. We'll never go near this coure again.

Course and layout

Poor course layout - sign for next tee not good. On the 18th hole you go over bridge and you are at red tees. Nowhere after finishing 17does it tell you to go to the right for other tee boxes . Very confusing would never play it again.

Decent golf

Fairways and greens in very good shape, but if you miss the fairway, even by a few feet, there is no first cut, only hard pan, so your ball goes scurrying away from the fairway. Not much in the way of sand in the bunkers, but I guess that’s why you should stay out of them. I’d play it again.
