Course ready for overseeding-skinned down
Silverbell generally is in good shape but because it will be opverseeded they have skinned it down. The greens are hard fast and bumpy right now. Next month after the overseeding, I am sure it will be in good condition again.
Good mix of easy, average and difficult holes.
Course is at the beginning of the transition period between summer and the cooler season so fairways were just average, if a bit sparse, and the greens were shaved so putting was more of a challenge because of different speeds and different levels of growth. Overall, the course was average but with a little attention, watering and overseeding, it will turn into a nice track.
ALWAYS IN GOOD CONDITION!
I play silverbell more than any other course in tucson. I drive passed several courses to go to this one because the place is just peaceful and always kept up.
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
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.
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.
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.
had a good round.
good grass on fairways and greens. went out as a single behind 4 foursomes, added three more as the round progressed. enjoyable play and good conditions.
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.
