Cut the greens
The course was in good shape, bunkers were like concrete, the greens were terrible bumpy & not cut. I guess that's monsoon golf in Tucson.
I would play the course again, it's not too expensive.
second time playing
Havent played this course in a couple of years. The smell has died down dramatically. Everything was in great shapealthough greens were slow it was in excellent condition. and the new carts were very nice.
Excellent golf course design
I haven't played here in a year but was quite pleased with the condition and speed of play. The fairways were recently mowed and provided a nice landing for a well struck ball. The greens were smooth and putted true. The fairways are generous but most are lined with mature trees. There are two lakes that could come into play on about four holes. There are several hard packed sand traps. All things considered, this is an interesting and fun golf course to play.
Pretty decent for a Tucson Muni
While you won't get perfect fairways and greens here...you will get an intresting layout with a nice mix of holes. The playing conditions are not bad. Price of the tee times is pretty good, so an all around solid choice.
this course plays long alot of challenging par4
course is in great shape new management has done excellent job,it use to be i never wanted to play city courses now i do ,fairways and greens in great shape.now they can work on getting new carts and improving restrooms on course
Silverbell golf
Nice layout, good to walk. Course was in good condition and the greens rolled well. Only complaint is the cart are old and the brakes in ALL the carts are bad.
Good course
The course is in good shape but the bunkers are two hard. Question/ What can be done to bunkers so they are not so hard?
sand traps
every sand trap that one of are foursomes was in was water drenched. this is always the case for us because we tend to play some of the earlier tee times.so i am saying lack of sand and drenched traps and lack of drinkable water on the course. how hard is it to have water available ever4y third hole?
This course is a good into to AZ golf
This is my first experience with AZ golf and grass on the greens took me 9 holes to adjust - rather slow. Layout was good and the fairways in great condition. The location of the next tee box and or holes is not always obvious so be sure to check the course map.
Overall a good course at at reasonable price. I will play it again.
Carts need work, bald tires, no brakes
A typical municipal golf course. The course layout is fun, great course for juniors, wide open fairways. Conditions were less than average. Looks like they have let things go a bit, carts were in tough shape, I usually don't notice but in this case it stood out. Bunkers were in horrible shape, pretty much mud, no sand and wet. When we hit in a bunker we pretty much had to drop outside, hate doing this but they were pretty bad. A little TLC and this could be an outstanding course. My son and I did have a great time even with the conditions.
A Decent challenge
Silver bells golf course is a very walkable course. There are quite a few challenging holes even though the fairways are fairly wide-open. The greens are very quick and rolled true but not with undue undulations.
At least two the par threes are quite long and if the winds blowing can be challenging to reach. All in all I enjoyed playing the course and look forward to playing it again. I would recommend it to anybody who likes a decent challenge to their game.
Never again!
Have been playing golf in Tucson for past twenty five years during annual visit for Gem Show and this is the worst course I have ever played. Carts are decrepit, our brakes did not work, rented clubs which were off brand, old and not a full set. Driver was unplayable! Setting is between trailer parks and garbage dumps with dirty, trash strewn scrub around every fairway. Traps were either rock hard or mud pools and greens were less than adequate.
What made the day even worse was the fact that we were behind a school girl tournament. Girls were great and well behaved but after three hours we had only played 11 holes and we decided that a visit to the dentist would be preferable and we threw in the towel. Not worth the money, even though cheap, save your money and go for a walk in the foothills instead!!
greens are good
The fairways and greens are good. The holes are poorly marked. Had troubel determining correct green on 7 and how to find the 8 T box.
Lots of ducks and everything they provide.
good value on a fair yet trying course
The course is set up to accommodate wide tee shots on quite a few of the holes except for the water holes where your shots must be precise. The greens are excellent. The only negative comment is the abundance of migratory water fowl on the course that make a huge mess on and around the greens
Excellent value and staff very helpful.
Silverbell is a great course for game improvement. Some hazards exist, but not too penalizing. Staff is very helpful and professional.
A great muni course
Wide open, easy scoring course with medium to large greens. A pleasure to walk, this course has almost no hills. The greens are in OK shape, a bit bumpier than most. Overall a really fun muni.
