long round

Course was in good shape. Greens were really great. However the twosome in front of us were 2 holes behind the threesome in front of them by the 4th hole. the twosome behind us skipped a hole to get in front of them. We were able to play through them on the 8th hole. the back nine was okay. Saw no rangers on the course.

Hasn’t changed much…

Newly renovated bar area is nice (took over a year). Rained the day before play, so course was sloppy. Friendly staff, ramshackled carts, cart paths almost 4wd. Greens best part of experience, receptive and smooth. Some bunkers lack sand. The worse part is pace of play and balls flying seemingly everywhere but were they should be. Any ball played is fair game to be picked up (look what I found).

Decent layout, last 4 holes especially good. Not the best Tucson city has to offer, but worth a play in a pinch.

Fun round of golf

The course is long and the cart paths could use a bit of TLC. The fairways, tee boxes, and greens were in good shape. The other guys that played in the threesome were friendly and easy to talk with. I'll definitely play there again!

Recommendation

Almost all sand traps had shoe prints and divots that had not been raked out. Might suggest to staff to remind players at sign in to rake traps as a courtesy to following players. Thanks

Silverbell Mud Hole

This course was re-designed in 2006...and the designer screwed up on drainage. Rain the morning of play turned that course into a mud bath...we had an older person with us and they had no handicap flags as they were stolen they said, no 90 degree rule and walking from cart path to your ball h back could be 100 yards...it was ludicrous and the starter that morning was not helpful or customer oriented at all

Fun round of golf

The course was in good condition, with over seeded fairways and greens. The green fairways were nice to hit from. Some of the cartpaths are in need of some TLC, and sand traps need refreshing, but overall it was a fun round of golf.

Enjoyable Round

Overseeding pretty good (fairways), greens very good. Some attention needs to paid to irrigation leaks. Quite a few areas were pretty wet from what was apparently a leak.

Cart paths could also use some attention.

Grounds Crew on Strike?

The grass on the greens was almost as long as fairway grass on a decent course. To determine how to expect the ball to behave on the greens was practically impossible. These greens reminded me of temporary greens sometimes used by courses when an actual green is under construction.

The entire course looked unkept to the point I wondered if the grounds crew was on strike.

Take care of the greens

Greens were brutal and seem like they’re neglected

1st Time

First time taking my teenaged daughter to golf so we went late as not to slow anyone down. She definitely enjoyed her first time though it was crazy hot out. Great course for a first timer.
