Silverbell Municipal Golf Course

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.

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!

A lot of standing stagnate water and VERY rough cart paths. Greens rough. A good short game practice course.

This is my second time playing this course, The greens were very slow as if they may have been under repair but it was still a good round.

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.

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!

Greens had been punched. All tee boxes were excellent. Balls hit onto green had action. Pace on play awesome. Traps need some work.

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.

I played here last Sunday (June 7th). I don't mind a rough around the edges course, but this was a whole new level.

Here is the list:

- Super rude staff
- Tee boxes are awful
- Fairways are soggy
- Fairways smell like sewage
- Sandy potholes in the fairways
- Sand traps filled with water
- Sand traps are concrete hard
- Greens have bare spots
- Greens are sandy
- Greens are awful
- Areas around the fairways are dead super ugly

I would call this course the worst in Tucson, hands down.

Don't even think about wasting your money here. Go play somewhere else.

What a nice course! Tee to green was really nice. Not much to look at off the fairway, but the course itself was in great shape.

This is course is always fun. Right now it is in great shape! They have new sand in the bunkers and it is nice. Awesome course!

I haven't played in a couple of years. It felt great to be back out there. Silverbell is looking good. the geens were in great shap.

The course itself is making a nice transition to summer weather. The staff were great. The pace of play was terrible (5 hours). I was behind a twosome who could not keep up with the foursome in front of them. It is hard to watch "novice" players play from the wrong set of tees.

Tip: If you're not using an iron from a par three tee box, you're hitting from the incorrect tees!

The course itself was really nice, but there were several spots of just dirt and brush that were not very appealing. Some holes were not marked well. However the greens were in great shape and the price is great. I would play here again. We were visiting from Denver.

slow play front and back due to different reasons front 9 remedied by starter

Really liked the open-ness of the course, the staff was great...very welcoming and friendly, the only issue we had was the pace of play on the front nine which took over 3 hrs. The back nine improved, but that wax because 2 two-somes quit at the turn due to the pace. I will try this course again though because the staff and cart gal were so nice!!

I was surprised at how nice the course was. Usually not in the best shape. I enjoyed playing there.

Greatly improved over this past year. Fairways were in very good condition as were the greens. Staff is excellent. New golf carts always put one in good frame of mind. The restaurant is lacking full cooking facilities, therefore their bill of fare is lacking. Not a good place to meet friends after a round of golf for lunch. Speaking of golf exclusively, a good value.

The septic odor that pervades several holes on the course is quite unpleasant. The last few rounds we say, 'that's the last time'. But over time we forget how unpleasant it is and come back, not sure we will for awhile. Seems as the weather warms the odor gets worse.

My friend and I were looking forward to our round at Silverbell. We ended up being matched with two gentleman that were apparently in the middle of some match play tournament. As they played they became increasingly slow and less and less courteous. It really was a miserable day.
