Silverbell Municipal Golf Course

Silver bell is on our regular rotation of courses and has been for several years. The staff is always friendly.

Our group has never had anything to complain about until yesterday. On the back nine I was walking to the outdoor restroom and a couple of guys stopped me and said “you don’t want to go in there, it’s disgusting “. I took their their advice and waited. Later a member of our group said he had gone in and it was very dirty. Many people rely on that restroom as we try to drink plenty of water while golfing.

The main restroom near the pro shop was clean as usual but having to wait that long, especially on a crowded day

Put a little damper damper on my golf day!

Course is playable but fathered was n unpleasant sewage smell at various locations.

On the plus side, fairways, greens & pace of play, friendly staff was acceptable. On the minus side cart paths extremely rutted, lack of directions/marking to next Teeing ground lacking (got lost twice), course allowed 5 players in group & bunkers had standing water & not maintained by golfers.

took 5 hours to play.3rd time played, always slow.

There are better golf courses out there but overall it was a good time, I would play there again, the course has a decent layout and the staff were nice, couple of whiffs of bad odors on the last couple holes from the water treatment plant up the road and pace of play was fairly slow, but an hour and a half frost delay certainly didn't help matters. Overall though a pleasant experience.

Absolutely horrid pace of play! Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. No marshal in sight. Greens were brown and there was mud all around. Fairways were the only thing that saved this course. It was not worth the greens fees. Unable to finish my round after teeing off at 1340 hrs with sunset at 1800 hrs. Unacceptable.

Another good day at Tucson muni. Silverbell, like Randolph has a great short game practice area.

Frost delay caused some back up and slower play than I expect is standard.

First time around this venerable Tucson track. Layout and course conditions exceeded expectations. Impressive practice/warm-up facilities. Staff could use some coaching on communication skills. We didn't hear about the 90-minute frost delay when we checked in at the pro shop -- the starter shared that news. Fortunately, they were mostly caught up by our original tee time.

My score goes up 6-7 strokes from other courses. It's not because it's longer - all of those strokes are from my short game and mostly from misreading the greens. There is more separation from other fairways than any other course (and few trees) so I always enjoy myself no matter how many 3 putts I make because I can never blame the course (really), only me. This course makes golf harder than it needs to be but who wants it easy? It has been in GREAT shape (like all the city courses) since the new management (like when the old mgt was new).

Bad, Bad. The second group that was ahead of us had 4 women they slowed up all the groups behind them and there were no marshals to speed them up. When I had a chance to watch them play, they were just hacking at the ball and clowning around like it was a circus. When I pay to golf it's to play not to wait. Silverbell doesn't seem to be to concern about their customers. Thats the second time this has happened to me at Silverbell, so I'm done with them I won't be going back. I'll be spending my money at El Rio at least they listen and take care of their customers,

The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in good shape. The course amenities however definitely need some attention. The bathrooms both in the clubhouse as well as on the course showed signs of serious neglect. The bathrooms didn’t appear to have been cleaned recently. The mirrors were filthy and the odor of urine from the men’s could be smelt from the hallway with the door closed.

The course is a bit rough in terms of cart paths, and areas where construction overlaps with the layout of some of the holes.

We will likely return to play again and hope that the issues have been resolved by then because it was fun and challenging to play.

Not to bad the price is a value . staff is helpful . course is well maintained ,greens are fast more pitch marks than I care for . but not the courses fault typical for public course . pace of play was average .

Course was average. Fairways are in good shape, greens average. Rough was dirt with very little dormant grass to hit off. Looked more like hay but sparse. I realize object of the game is to stay in fairway but let’s be realistic, the average golfer is not always going to be in the fairway. Will not play this course again.
