Silverthorn
Need to cut the grass and too many bare fairway spots.
Great Greens Desert Fairways
Every single green was perfect! Every fairway on the back 9 was a mess. Hard to shoot a good score when you’re hitting your second shot middle of the fairway and it’s just a desert. Pace of play wasn’t bad 3.5 hours and for the first time every single staff member I encountered was extremely friendly/ nice
Needs attention
You can tell this course could be great by the layout, but it needs attention.
Course in decent condition
Despite the lack of rain, the course was in decent condition. It's a great layout.
Back in the Day
I bet this course used to be in great shape. The layout is nice. Many tee boxes to choose from. The bunkering is nice. However, the grass on the tee boxes and fairways are thin. The greens where in okay shape just slow. It was Friday, 2pm and the place was a ghost town. They did have a bar and food, and water on the course. All in all it was a decent place for the money and I would play it again.

Wouldn't recommend
The condition of the course warrants a one star rating. Tee boxes were almost non existent, bunkers had weeds growing in them, fairways had patches of weeds. The only bright spot at times were the greens and that was few and far between.
There's no way they should be charging $50+ a round, it's robbery. I would maybe pay $20 if I were to play this track again, but I won't.
Summer conditions
Pro shop staff, meh. Starter was very friendly. Pace of play is great, if you T off before 8 on a Saturday. There is a ladies league that starts at 8, and those gals don’t mess around. They are fast, but friendly. The course really took a down turn over the last few months. Greens were slow and had lots of dead spots. Fairways didn’t look great either. Looks like a $40 FL course charging $65-70. I played there quite a bit over the winter/spring, this is definitely the worst I’ve seen it.
Recommendation
I never recommend golf courses unless I know the players game
Great pace of play
Enjoyed the round. Overall the course condition was pretty good. Fairways actually had grass and greens were in good condition. Great value for the money. Finished the round in 3 hours!
Surpising Look
I know that Florida has been in a drought for the past few months. But the course was not in good shape. The greens had not been cut or rolled and was slowly than they used to be. The rough had a lot of weeds growing within the rough. The sand traps, were hit or miss. Some had grass growing in them. On hole #7 the fairway was as bad as the rough, where you couldn't tell the difference between the two. I do remember this course being in better shape but I'm not sure what happened. The staff is friendly and was very helpful. I will be waiting to see, the next review or two, to see if the course has gotten better before I head back out there!
Played 2 weeks ago and the course was better than 2 months ago but it was far from excellent! I'd like to know what other courses you have played to rate Silverthorne excellent?
