It’s improved

I would say the course is in decent shape and has improved, one green that was not great.

Some of the fairways and tee boxes are starting to come back

Good Value for the Money

As a local, I play here almost weekly and I want to help set expectations for everyone. I’ve played plenty of places that cost me $60-$70 that have some weeds in bunkers, hit or miss tee boxes, thin fairways, and greens that are patchy and don’t roll well. Silverthorn is $29-$40 on GolfNow and a great value for the money.

Yes, some fairways on the back 9 get thin (and some could be cut tighter in spots), the green on 15 is the only one that really needs some help, and the par 3 tee boxes are sandy. But, if you remember the cost, you’ll find value here.

Having said that, the layout is challenging. Many tee shots need to be strategically placed onto narrow fairways in order to make your approach shot around and over numerous bunkers (or water) easier.

No matter what tee box you play from, I think you’ll enjoy the layout. By the end of your round, you’ll likely agree that you’ve played more expensive courses in the same or worse shape. Again, there is good value here. Enjoy it.

Meh

Sand and dirt everywhere in the common hit areas of the fairways, tee boxes, and some of the greens. I got the tee time as a hot deal, which is the only reason I give it an overall of 3 stars. Otherwise, there’s no way I’d pay the regular price for this course.

They should be embarrassed

Nonexistent fairways, unplayable green side bunkers, beat up greens and you can’t even tell if they have tee boxes! So disappointing.

In need of major work

It’s a real shame, because the layout of this place is pretty good, but it’s in need of a lot of work. Front 9 in somewhat better condition than the back and I’d go as far as to say it’s mostly unplayable without moving the ball to find some grass in the fairways. Hopefully things improve, otherwise better elsewhere for the time being.
