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.

Called it a day.

Aerated back 9 and greens had damage.

The 2 most important things were course condition and value for the money, both of which I gave a 2 out of 5.

The back 9 had just been aerated and the plugs were still covering the fairways. Many of the tee boxes were patchy at best. Many of the greens had damage making putting difficult. When a course aerates they should announce it ahead of time so I can decide to play a different course. Also the course should charge less money the week of aeration. I've played Silverthorn before and this was by far the worst shape its been in.

Rain helping

Fairways getting better with plenty of rain recently. They normally maintain the greens. Having a problem with green #15. I’m sure they’ll work on it. A little more maintenance on fairways and t boxes and the course can be in very good shape again. Prices are a little high for summer in Florida.
