Took 3 hour to play 9 holes

course was so backed up we could only play 9 holes after paying for 18. Wanted to talk to the person in the pro shop when we finished. He was in there with a locked door and would not talk with us. Do not want to golf this course again!!!

Horrible experience.

The course was in bad shape. The greens were bumpy, the sand traps were full of water, the pace was painfully slow & staff were visibly having a bad day.

Break into a line

When we finished the 14th hole and moved to the white tee box of the15th hole , three young guys suddenly broke into the line and played at the yellow tee box of the15th hole without any excuse. Besides, they played very slowly even though it was by sunset.
Since then, we were very unhappy.

Bomb away

Don't rely on GPS takes you back of course Wide open fairways, some middle fairway bunkers to be aware. No sand in bunkers and water, need to address this with drainage possibly French drains. Fairways to green excellent coverage. Some greens look like they have chemical burn lines, otherwise they roll nice. Third time playing, first time no wind and it plays easy without it blowing. Nice open track with excellent value.

Good time!

I really enjoy all of the employees attitudes here. They also have a drive drink/food window at the back nine. They just opened from maintenance. Looks great!

Not worth it for non residents

Played as part of our vacation, by far the worst kept course I've played at in years. Was told it was because of 2 days of rain storms... We played the 2 days previous and courses were beautifully kept. No signs of anyone working on the course except the ranger who was more interested in keeping everyone on the cart path than speeding up slow play.

Inexcusable

Pace of play ridiculous 2:40 to play front nine walked off because no golf course should tolerate this. Complained and told company does not care about this.

greens were half brown

Labor Day...slow play as one would expect on a muni...over 5 hours....fairways and tee boxes were fine, but the greens were terrible. For $21. plus tax , it was a good value, if you don't mind having to putt with a hockey stick.

Good value, non pretentious golf for everyday people

OB has stepped up the value of playing silverbell through improved turf management and overall professionalism of staff that are inviting and are equally excited about golf!

Silbell in the Summer

Just played the course. Of course, it's hot in Tucson. The course was generally in good condition. However, some of the greens were great and others were not. Due to the recent rains, many for the sand traps were pools of water too deep to see the ball in them.

Very Disappointed

After two years of not playing this course, we decided to give it another shot. Well, it might be that long or longer before play there again. The fairways appeared not to be cut in a couple days, the rough was inconsistent at best and the greens looked like someone lit them on fire and did not repair them. Please avoid this course if you are a serious golfer!

Good, pleasant experience

I haven't played Silverbell in 3 years back then it wasnt very good, several friends had encouraged me to play there again because it had improved, I took their advice and I was not disappointed, everything from the staff to the course had done a 180 degree turn for the better, I was very pleased and will be returning to Silverbell again adding them to my weekly rotation of golf courses.
