Not too tough a course, fairly long.

Nice course to play. In fairly good shape. Generally meet lots of nice golfers there. Long course from whites but not that much trouble.

Classic golf - excellent value

I come out to Tucson to visit family about once a year and this is my second time playing Silverbell. Got a smoking deal on Golfnow and played it on a very cold and windy day following some rain. Course conditions were excellent considering how much it rained the night before. We played lift, clean and place and only found a few spots with a little standing water and minimal mud. Some bunkers had a little standing water but that was expected.

I wish more courses were set up like Silverbell. It is a long, demanding course that requires length off the tee and precise approach shots if you plan to score. What it also has that most courses lack are continuous fairways and very few forced carries. The greens were a little slow the day we played but that was welcomed as they decided to throw alot of Sunday pin placements on us. With the pins we had, the course probably played three or four strokes harder.

Overall, this isn't high-end resort golf but it is about as good as it gets for a Muni track.

Good Muni Course

The course is long but is in pretty good shape, and a great bargain. It is certainly walkable, although most people take carts. Play gets backed up on the par threes - in fact we quit at 16 because of the backup.

Worth the price paid on Golf Now. Regular rates too stiff for they quality of the golf course, it is the winter season so that made getting out of the rough a little easier..

Fantastic Value. A newer muni that is coming into its own and is a lot of fun to play.

Silverbell is a fantastic muni. If the overall rating was intended to purely establish value, i'd rate it 5+. The greens were challenging, and there are enough hazards around the course to get into trouble, while being generally wide open, so its not a ball hunting expedition. This is a semi-links style course, with hard fairways that roll, and lots of ways to play shots around the green. An excellent place to for all skill levels, but especially good for mid to high handicappers who will keep up the pace but take advantage of open design and easy to access greens.

Muddy,needs attention

This course is long, muddy, and unkept in some area's. There is no marshall and play is very slow. We saw children playing golf on the course. This is a public course and looks and acts like one.

Course is interesting.

Enjoyed playing Silverbell. Had a long wait for carts
because many were not in operating condition. Staff made
the extra wait OK. All in all a good afternoon.

This could be a great course if the Tucson park district took care of it.

The tee's and greens where in very good shape, but the fairways need improvement.

Good course, but the smell from the waste water treatment plant may make you wish you had palyed another course.

This course is a long one with 4 or 5 par fours over 400 yards from the white tees. The fairways were fine, and the greens are large and in good condition. The only bad thing about the course is the smeel form a nearby waste water treatment plant.

This course was a great value!

My brothers and I had a great time at your course this weekend, despite the individual working the tee time box. Not exactly a pleasant person to deal with. The staff members working the clubhouse, and beer cart were great - the course was great. Thank you.

The Course is always fun to play

The greens are true and fast . The Course is in good shape and receptive even for a twenty handicapper like me.
I was not able to move the sliders above to the desired position, they only move to the extream positions, high and low

With a little work on irrigation, cart paths, and filling in ruts and holes, this could be a better course.

Although playable, it's the typical Municipal course. Bunkers are wet packed, players don't fix divots and ball marks. Plays long with damp fairways,(no roll out). The greens are not fast.

City run course is a good value

This is a Tucson city course and is in good condition. Fairways were good, greens were good and pace of play was @41/4 hours which is good for a lengthy course. I will play there again.

Overall, the course was a really good experience.

Staff was welcoming. Practice area for chipping, sand traps and practice green was verry good to have pre=tee off. Course was in great condition even thougth we had cart path only because of seeding season. Challenging for a public course and quite long as well. Nice to have a course like this be a public course. Price was very acceptable fro Golf Now.
