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.
Silverbell is mostly good
fairways were a little spotty but overall a good experience for the cheap fee. not many folks playing so finished in just over 3 hours for 18 holes.
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.
The course was forgiving and well maintained, but a little confusing at certain points.
A few of the holes were a little confusing due to flag placement. I found myself aiming for the flag of other greens. It wasn't till I got closer that I realized I was aiming for the wrong hole.
I understand that we live in Tucson and the heat is only getting worse, but the sand traps needed to be better maintained. They were super dry.
Other than those few items, it was a nice course and I will return.
Challenging enough, fair enough
I usually play this course from the whites (rated ~68), but blues are rated ~72 for par 70--clearly challenging enough for a 11 hcp like me. Playing the blues makes this a different course, bringing more trees and bunker into play, and water into play for key holes like 16 (a 235 3-par with water on the left and a bunker greenside right).
One of the best laid out city courses, and fast by any metric, I played my 18 holes in less than 2:15 in the afternoon.
Some greens a little sandy, but it's 105F so you've got to keep them alive this time of year.
Fun but challenging
Course offers a blend of long and shirt holes. Greens had recently been aerated and were bumpy & slow.
City course, you get what you pay for
Person in proshop extremely rude as was the starter. I was a single and it seemed to perplex the starter. So instead of letting me go off of hole 1 as scheduled he had me start on 10 with the comment of, "I'm gonna let you go but you have to be hustling this whole round." Which is weird because of the 3 other groups out there I was backed up on every hole but I guess city courses aren't too worried about customer service.
great course!
great city course for beginners and some experienced golfers
course is in awesome shape.. some work needs to be done on some tee boxes and most fairways where in good shape.
staff is awesome. great value for the money... "Go Play"
Needs attention
This course needs attention. The greens are in decent shape but the fairways are in need of some serious care, there are mud puddles from broken sprinklers, dry areas, longer grass and shorter grass. The distance markers are clear and well placed. The club house and bar and grill are in worse shape than an old Burger King. Its a city course where I believe the city must have forgotten about. Overall I would say if you want to get out and just hit balls then for the price its not too bad, but if you want to play a nice course this is definitely not he one!
Greens were good , fair way needed mowing badly
Greens were in good shape , the fair way need to be mowed badly , hit a good shot in the right side of the fairways , and the ball couldent be found due to deep grass. A par 3 on the back side was full of water in the bunker. I like this course fix those things and it would be great . I plan to golf there during the summer if the price is good . Great staff it was fun
one of the better city courses.
It was a early tee time so we got right on the greens were in very good shape no dead or brown patches I will play this course again
Just OK
This is a very old course with surprisingly few shade trees. The greens and fairways were decent, but the outlying areas were full of old dead palm trees, and dead other vegetation. There was an old adobe structure that appeared to be a storage area for junk and should be torn down unless it has historical value. If it does there should be a story about it. It was not an enticing picture, in my mind. The staff were friendly, but the beer was at least a dollar over priced. I probably will not play it again, even at the rate I payed this time.
Course is long
6900+ yards from the whites. !st time I played it. Shot well but made some bogies due to length of holes. Starts with 430 yard par 4 and there are 455, 420, and others over 400. I like the layout, was remodeled in 2006. There are a couple par 3's in the 200 range also. Fairly decent for a city course.
Best city course in Tucson
Silverbell has a great layout and the course is in good-shape. Despite the tight-lies from pitching distances on some holes, the greens are decent and the fairways are in good condition. For the value, a very good golfing experience.
Dream
Tee times too close together. Slow play
Good value at Golf Now pricing. Need to rotate pin placements more often
This course has long par fours!
I thought the fairways and greens were in good shape. Of course, get off the fairways and the course is rather grim. Lesson: Stay on the fairways!
