How is it getting worse?
I don’t know how this course got to this point. Used to be one of the go to’s and now it’s absolutely garabage. Staff is mediocre at best, course looks like it got hit by a tornado. I’ll come back once things change but I think it starts at management. Seems like everybody gave up. No cart girls as well which really sucks in this heat.
Poor shape at best
Most of the fairways were overgrown,weedy or non existent. Course needs some major upkeep. It was fun for a little while but we couldn’t get into the back nine . Had it cost 20 bucks it would not have been worth it
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the fairways during your visit. We appreciate your insight and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
Worst course ever played
I have golfed for 30+ years and I have never played a course that was as poorly kept as this course was. The rough was a foot tall with clumps of grass in the fairway just as tall. Tee boxes were horrible not a blade of grass to be found and don't even ask about the bunkers. It's a good thing I got the round so cheat on GolfNow cause we were able to just leave after 9 holes instead of agonizing thru all 18. I would not recommend this course and won't ever be back.
We apologize for the poor condition of the course during your visit. We take your feedback seriously and will work on improving the maintenance to ensure a better golfing experience in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Some improvement
Greens are better than a month ago, however, the fairways remain with tufts of grass or large areas with no grass. Rough also remains so long that balls are difficult to find.
Thank you for leaving a review and for noting the improvements in our greens. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the fairways and rough, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to work on maintaining the course.
Were their mowers broke?
There were big patches of grass growing in the fairways. So not only did you have to worry about loosing golf balls in the rough, you could very easily loose them in the fairways....ridiculous.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the condition of the fairways and the presence of patches of grass. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we appreciate your feedback.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u2540087. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Silverthorn Country Club!
Worst course I’ve ever played
I’ve been paying for 40 years and this was by far the worst kept course I’ve ever been on.
We apologize for the poor condition of the course during your visit. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
They are working on improving the course
Play here twice a week, course is slowly improving,
mowers are out and getting the rough to a height where finding your ball is possible. Looks like they are trying to improve the course. Time will tell.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you have noticed improvements in our course maintenance. We are continuously working to enhance the playing experience for our customers. Thank you for your support.
Worse Course I've seen in Florida
Between the non existent fairway grass and the rough not being mowed I have to say the worse course Ive ever played on. My wife and I lost 8 balls between us, these were balls we couldn't find that were on the fairway or just to the side. My recommendation is don't go there.
We apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve the condition of the fairway grass and the mowing of the rough. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
They have given up
I have played Silverthorn for 20 years. I won’t play again. The rough is taller than my knees. The fairways are dirt. Even for $25 still not worth it. I am a 14 handicap and lost 8-9 golf balls sometimes even green side.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding your recent experience at Silverthorn. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the rough and fairways, and we will take your comments into consideration as we work towards improving our course. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Used to be good now a disaster
I played this course a few times prior to 2019 so when I came down to visit my in-laws it was on my list to return. Beyond disappointed what used to be a go to course is now a stay away. Like some of the more recent reviews it’s horrible tee to green. The only positive was the friendly staff that’s it. Sadly I didn’t read the reviews when I booked and won’t be back. By contrast I played another course the day before and it was in really good shape. So if you’re reading this stop here and look for another course to book.
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience at our course. We apologize if the conditions were not up to your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our course in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Really disappointing
We have played this course in the past, and it has been pretty good, but it was an awful shape on this occasion and I don’t think we will go back. But the fairways and roof were just in awful shape. It did not look like the course has been cut in weeks. There were half patches of grass in the middle of the fairway, and then other spots it was completely bare. the tea boxes were in horrible shape. I booked on GolfNow thinking it was a really good deal, but even for the price we paid, it was not worth it.
We apologize for the poor condition of the course during your recent visit. We understand your disappointment and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
Poor por conditions
They rent this course out to goat ranchers, it's pathetic. I've played here for 25 yrs. It's now in top 5 of worse courses in Hernando. Pasco, Citrus counties don't waste your time or money.
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment with our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
The course was in bad condition. Fairways were pretty much just dirt and weeds, rough was 10-12 inches of grass. Greens were in good shape.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience at our golf course. We apologize for the condition of the fairways and rough and appreciate your positive mention of our greens. We appreciate your review and hope to have the opportunity to improve in the future.
Course needs work
Course needs to cut grass and weeds on fairways. I lost balls in the grass by the fairway way too often
We appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of our fairways. We apologize for any frustration caused by the tall grass and weeds, and we will take your comments into consideration as we continue to maintain our course. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Silverthorne review
Fairways overgrown, rough overgrown looks like it hasn’t been mowed in a month and a half. Sand spurs everywhere. If you hit into the rough one foot off the fairway, you will not be able to find your ball. This course has gone downhill. It is sad.
We apologize for the poor conditions you experienced during your visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we work to improve our maintenance efforts. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Mow the course.
Rough now exceeds a foot tall in many places. Golf balls disappear never to be found. Weeds in fairways are going larger weekly. Greens have largely recovered from heat abuse in early July. Maintenance around the course is visible and lends some hope the course conditions will improve. Please just mow the course will maintenance is taking place and keep it playable.

Terrible conditions
The course conditions were terrible. Uncut fairways that looked more like rough, and the rough was completely overgrown with weeds over 2 'feet high.
Green fees should include a dozen balls to compensate for the ball loss.
Conditions looked as if the course had been closed for a couple months & still looking for groundskeepers.
Played there several years ago & it was a decent course.
Won't be back!
