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.

Worst Course In Tucson

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.

Slow play - no ranger

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!

Nice Course

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.

Silverbell Review....First Time Played

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!!

Silverbell

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.

Odor brings down overall quality of course

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.

Don't allow tournaments with normal golfers

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.

Nice Course

Silverbell is a very clean facility with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. We played in just over 3.5 hours. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in verY good shape and the rough was forgiving, the only downside were the bunkers. Seems they were more hard packed dirt than sand. Overall a nice course and I will be playing it again.

Great course for the money...

My wife and I played Silverbell and had a great round. We like to walk and don't like a golf course surrounded by houses. Silverbell is perfect. Great tee selection and plenty of length if you like long. The greens are in great shape. The staff is friendly and professional. Great practice area!
