2026 Spring Break

Best value for 2026 spring break golf! Tees, fairways, collars, and greens were in great shape, only minor issue was the bunkers weren't raked, so don't hit in the bunker!

Challenging Course

Silverthorn is a challenging layout with the back nine being more difficult than the front.

The greens were the best we have played all year.

Unfortunately the fairways were in poor shape especially the back nine.

Bunkers have no rakes and there are no rakes on the carts so bunkers were a minefield of footprints and gouges.

Not happy

Where do I start, tee time was 11:30 and when we checked in they said it was 11:12. I told the starter he was mistaken but he said no, I showed him my conformation on golf now and he didn’t t know what to say. Then he told us to follow the four some ahead of us. While we were waiting to tee off another group of 4 drove past us. When we drove up they said they were teeing off next as they were all playing in a scramble. We told them that the starter said for us to tee off and that’s what we were going to do. Poor organization if you ask me, then it was a 5 hour round. Just not how you run a course! Would like to know who and why they changed our tee time !

Great Day and Friendly Staff

The course was in good condition (Fairways and greens) especially given the drought. The rough is rough but manageable. Their prices are worth the drive.

Good course to play

Good course for price. Go play this course enjoying your day on greens that role smooth and fun to read and putt. Fairways and tee boxes typical for this time of year yet challenging on most holes. Enjoyable, but must comment on the poor range balls and lousy sand bunkers. Suggest filling in bunkers with grass vs ignoring them which just hurts the courses reputation. But go enjoying this track with pre - knowledge about the range balls and bunkers. And oh, on Mondays no food or beverages in bar, its closed!

Bunkers need lots of love

Obviously, for this time of year, the conditions were not the best in terms of grass growth. greens were fine. Sand traps were awful. They were not groomed and they need to fill in a little more sand.

Much Improved

I played Silverthorn a few years ago and it was in poor condition. Overall the course has improved dramatically. The greens were in good shape but slow, the fairways were good for winter drought conditions, need more sand in the bunkers. Pace of play was about 4hrs and overall its a great value for the money. Interesting course, good layout, not too much trouble. Wish they still had the Gold tees as 6500 is the longest Tee that have now.

Good Layout with issues

Silverthorn is a great layout.

Unfortunately the fairways are barren especially on the back nine.

Traps had no rakes and there were no rakes on the carts.

Greens were really good but grass surrounding them was much longer than normal collars.

Condition of the course has been an issue for the last few years.

Improving!

I haven’t played this course in several years. It was horrendous prior. But I was surprised how it’s come along. Fairways were improved. Greens were very nice- slow, like around a 7.5 ish, but were in very good shape. Tee boxes were much improved. The rough is still a bit ugly- lots of weeds yet, so that has to get better. Bunkers playable. The layout is very nice with back tees around 6600. So under $60- pretty decent value if I compared to crescent oaks, seven springs, fox follow. Biggest need to to get the rough fixed up. I decided to place the ball on a piece of grass in the rough - instead of dirt spot- it makes for a more fair round and not irritation. Layout is very fun.
