Best Tucson City Course

1st time playing Silverbell. Great city course, very walk-able. About 2 weeks away from overseeding so it wasn't in the best of shape but not many dead spots in the fairways. Greens were slow and bumpy but expected this time of year at a city course. Well worth $25 or less for a round. Great mountain views and challenging holes when the winds pick up. A handful of water holes as well. Will definitely play again. Played as a single in just over 3 hours. Started on 10 and after getting back to 1 I had 2 groups that let me play through. Got slowed down at 6. Could have been under 3 hours very easily. Probably a 4 hour round with a group

This course always plays very slow. No marshalling and thick rough causes undue time looking for balls

The course has a great layout but plays slow due to lost balls in the rough and no marshalling. Whoever runs the mowers needs lessons. Very uneven mowing, either scalped or left too high. The greens are not well maintained. the ball bounces on even the slightest easy putts

Rough a little thick and the greens were slow, needs cutting.

The course is nice and the pace was good, but the course needs a little attention. (TLC)

Good value for the $$

Overall, a nice experience. I enjoyed playing on grass! Views of the mountains were beautiful, but some issues with the odor on some of the holes. The greens need some attention, but can't beat the price for 18 holes and a golf cart.

They need to keep up the grass and greens. Fairways were too deep and greens were in poor shape.

Great weekday getaway

Super price for the experience. Temps were hot, storms were brewing, pace was speedy with very few golfers. Even with light traffic, the beverage cart came around twice. The only thing missing was sand in the divot fillers. Greens were sturdy but regular rains kept them fuzzy. Slow greens were easy to judge because the were in good shape.

Course definitely is in need of some attention. Large areas of the fairways are dirt, and the tee boxes as well.

Decent city course.

Super fast today. Played full course in 2.5 hrs! Only 15 people on it the cart girl said. Nice and green never has had the prettiest surroundings or views and nearby freeway construction and the waste treatment next door aren't helping. Course is mostly flat with some good water holes, mild elevation changes and in solid shape. GET SOME DECENT SAND city courses. Fun for the $.

Could use a little manicuring

The first 5 holes had the fairway grass so long I lost 20 yards off my tee ball. After that it was much better, but you still had to closely watch your ball if it got near the rough. You had to actually almost walk over your ball to find it in the rough. Played in less than 3 hours, so I didn't hit too many in the rough. The greens were medium to slow speed and a little bumpy.

Great deal for the money and course was a tad dry.

The overall course was nice. There could be more water and attention to cutting the rough, and the divot-repair-bottles were empty. Also the cart was old and presented difficulties - It was 103 degrees making the heat more of a factor.

One of Tucson's most challenging courses (from the tips)

in ok shape, sand or dirt traps are bad (as with most golf courses). why cant they throw some sand in those traps? the wash bordering the course to the east provides free sand! traps are mainly dirt with very little sand. from the back tees, silverbell is within the top 3 or 4 most challenging golf courses in the tucson region. try it on a windy day, you'll quit the game. noonan is the pro there! tell him chris sent you!

Needs attenion

The course is in need of a lot of attention. The greens are very dry and cut different for each hole(some slow some fast). The fairways need to be punched as they are very ragged.

I was pleasantly surprised

Fairways were in good condition, greens were a bit slow, but overall, true. don't expect pristine conditions, but for the money, it was a good round of golf.

Needs some attention but decent

Overall the course was pretty good. Bunkers need a lot more sand... or dirt... whatever they were using they need more of it. The pace of play was fairly good except for a drivable par 4 followed by a long par 3 which ended up jamming 3 groups. Silverbell needs some attention but it was still a good time.

Course is in bad shape...

The whole course is in bad, even sad shape from the tee boxes to the greens. The city should take a hard look at the course management. I have played here in the past and in good shape this course is desirable to play. Currently...I would ask you to not waste your money on this poor excuse for a golf course.
