Birdie Ranch 6/29/25
Ok course. Greens are tough. Very fast and some winter kill issues. Front 9 is tight but opens up some on the back . If your visiting the area, it's worth a play but not a destination course for sure
Awesome
We had heard this course was really good, but it was beyond good. We knew they had a tough winter, but the course has come in great (with the exception of a few greens) The staff treated us like royalty and the food was great as well. couldn't ask for more and for $85 it was well worth it - we will be back soon
Tournament play
Had a scheduled tee time for 2PM, there was a tournament being played ahead of us. They sent out 2-3 groups of 8… pace of play was atrocious, ended up skipping multiple holes and leaving early. Course had a bad winter and the new grass hasn’t come up yet in the fairways. Way to expensive for what it was.
Early season round
Got caught unexpectedly by a storm front. Still had a great time. Early in season so recently aerated. Had minimal effect on play. Greensvare fast. Staff is always excellent. Clubhouse could use some love but beyond that. I'll be back later this summer.
Fantastic Condition
One of the best courses I’ve played in AZ!
The condition & layout is fantastic!
One set back was that the pro shop personnel could have been more informative & friendly.

Pace of play was terrible. They really need a marshal out checking. Every hole we were waiting we finally drove through and played the front 9 again. While driving through every hole was backed up sometimes with 2 groups waiting. Not good
Soggy
Greens were very good and fast. However, the entire course was really wet. Talked to a regular at the course and asked if they had a lot of rain, he said no, that they really soaked it with the sprinklers. Some fairways with rows of grass laying where they obviously got behind mowing do to really wet ground. Scorecard says 2 hours per 9 holes strictly enforced, not true. We were 4 1/2 hours, played behind the Men's Club. I guess Pace of play is not enforced for the Men's Club.
Great, wide layout.
Great wide layout. Dirt dart paths but pretty level. As someone posted previously, greens were faster than Usain Bolt in a track meet. All in all, a must play if you’re in the Pinetop/Show Low area
Beautiful challenging course
This was the first time I played the course, but it was extremely challenging, but in an excellent shape. The greens are really fast so it took a little while to get used to them. I improve my game a lot on the back nine. Would definitely recommend this course and play again.

I visit the area and play this course frequently enough to enjoy it. The greens are immaculate and quick, and a lesson about being above the hole. The course is very enjoyable particularly when the weather is great and the turtles are not on the course.
Hidden Gem!!! 5 Star!!!
This course was an absolute TREAT to play! I've had the chance to play numerous private courses in Phoenix (Desert Mountain, Estancia, Desert Highlands) as well as the TPC Stadium course many times and Silver Creek's greens are up there with the best of them. They are so pure and so smooth! Fairways are like butter feels like you are hitting off of turf and every aspect of this course was awesome! Challenging layout and definitely a beast from the tips
Will 1000% play this course again the next time I'm up in Show Low / Pinetop.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This course is superbly maintained, rough is fair, but a little rough off the fairway though. Staff was great as usual.
High Desert Golf
For sister courses Bison and Birdie are so different. Greens are interesting. Miss a putt and bye bye to ball. The refurb $$ got put more into Bisons clubhouse.
Loved the layout. Would happily play again and will. Looking forward to another trip
Great experience.. Greens and fairways are fantastic. We did have a group of six and a foursome in front of us but other than that we really enjoyed it and definitely play it some more
True greens
I'll be honest, when I booked this tee time and saw its location, I was worried about course condition. We'll I can tell you, it was amazing. Practice facilities in great condition. Love the chipping range, yes, chipping range. The course was in great condition. Tee boxes great, fairways great (little wet, but it rained night before). I would suggest blowing the fairways. Old clippings does not look good. The greens are the highlight. So smooth and true. Put it online, and it will roll. Even uphill, you have to worry about rollout. That's how smooth they are. Great course, lots of fun and very challenging.
