There need to be better directional signage to help navigate the course.

If You Accurately Hit Your Shots, You Get Rewarded

I liked the layout of the course, and enjoyed playing all the holes. The par 3 holes, par 4 holes, and par 5 holes all had their challenges. There was a slow foursome about four groups ahead of our group, and that created slow play on the course as we caught up to the "clog" of many golfers who were backed-up. We made good new acquaintances with the other two golfers in our foursome, so the slow play was tolerable. If you are on vacation in Tucson, give Silverbell a try as one of the courses you will play while on your vacation. (There are several very good municipal golf courses in Tucson, along with many resort / membership courses.)

Course playing surfaces are in great shape

Cart paths need some work, and the low spots were a little overly muddy today. But the fairways were nice and the greens were well kept and roll true. Love this classic course.

What a pleasant way to spend yourntime

We had a great day at the course, which was in marvellous shape. The greens were receptive and putted true and the fairways were perfect for hitting off.

Wow

The course opens with the toughest opening hole in Tucson and doesn’t seem to get a lot easier. What a challenge. It’s in very good shape but to do well, you’d better bring your A game.

Good value

Greens were very good, fairways good, tee boxes ok. If you're very far off the fairway, it gets pretty rough, but then again I only paid $24 to play.

Walked the course in three hours, even after catching up to a slow foursome on the last 3 holes.

Course needs signage to point golfers to next hole. It is not always obvious. Also no ball cleaners or trash containers

Signage

The course needs signage to point you to the next hole. We spent a good deal of time trying to find hole 13. Other holes were difficult to find

Slow day

The course and greens are in decent shape greens still slow. Definitely a lot of people on the course today especially for a Noon tee time but I think other courses have started over seeding.

Torture

Paid $40 got to second hole and they were mowing for over seed. The grass clippings were left on fairway so thick I lost two balls. No warning about conditions.

Had two foursomes in front of us that should have had us play through on hole 3. Waited behind both groups all day at tee box. Drove ahead and it was wide open.

No course management. The city courses in Tucson unplayable. It’s sad.
