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.

Birdie Ranch at Silver Creek

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!

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

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.

Great course

The putting greens were fast with a lot of undulations. Bunkers were a little rocky but not too bad. Tee box’s were fairly flat and the fairways were in great shape.

Hidden Gem

Show Low may not be in the middle of nowhere, but it's close. About 20 minutes outside of that metropolis is a true gem of a golf course. The layout is great, the conditions are remarkable, and the greens are very smooth. Did I mention fast? These greens Stimp at about 13!! A couple of them are too canted for that speed and are unfair. Otherwise, this is a rare find.
