Excellent Golf Course

Obviously one of the best courses I have been too. Of course Arnold Palmer was the first player and opener of the course. That says it all. There is a plaque outside stating this. Very impressive. On the other hand, I thought the staff, especially the cart team was a little snotty, they might of had a bad day. 😆 other than that it was great to play there. Note: quite a lot of sand traps! Very challenging.

Wasted effort with the greens.

Time was spent to aerate and make the greens very good. Unfortunately the week of 4th of July they let it burn up. It’s truly sad to see. Just water the greens and course management.

Deteriorating

Course to include tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens have deteriorated over the past 6-9 months. This is too bad as the course has a nice layout and was previously in much better condition.

Decent Course for under 30 bucks

Two weeks ago the course was in much better condition. Played Thursday July 6th and the greens are sun burnt, fairways have a lot of crabgrass, and the rough is foot tall grass making it hard to find your ball. The layout of the course is awesome. As long as the price is under 30 bucks i’ll play here.

While we got an excellent time ( 7:48 am ) and the price was only $22 ( prior to our discount ), we were disappointed with the conditions....the fairways were terrible....weeds and no grass everywhere.....the rough was in worse condition....the greens needed attention too....Over-all, we wondered if they were selling the property .....we won't be returning there again until we read that major improvements have been made.....

Overbooked by a long shot.

So I booked on GolfNow for 10:20 am and there were 3 others with a 10:20am tee time. We finally started over an hour late. The groups were so slow that it took 2:45 minutes to complete nine holes. We gave up and went home at the turn. Not a good experience and the course was not in good condition. I hit a perfect shot in the middle of the fairway on one hole and ended up resting on a large weed. There were weeds in sand traps as well. Just no excuse not to take care of the course

Don't Bother To Play

All fairways were uncut, bald and brown.Forget being off the fairway as the grass was over 1ft tall.Greens were poor with ALL bunkers having large weeds and grass clumps in them.Probably the worst course in the local area I have tried.We paid for 18, however came off after 9.

Ole reliable

Silverthorn is a challenging course and is fairly well maintained. For the price and timing on Golf Now, Silverthorn is repeatedly the best choice for a round week after week. 18 is a very challenging end to a round, great way to leave if you can Par it.

The starters are great too. Keep pace and starting times moving and have been known to throw you a bucket of balls if they recognize you. Highly recommended.

It's too bad.

Used to be a great course. Design is great, upkeep nonexistent. It's gets lots of play, where's the money going? Not on the course. Tee boxes are ugly, fairways look like pasture, bunkers are not maintained, greens so bumpy putts won't stay on line. But the carts are really nice. If you can get it under $20 then go. Keep expectations low, move the ball around, it'll be ok.

Meh!!

Had the hot deal price @ $18.99 not worth more than that right now. Some elevated par 3s and rolling fairways is always a plus in Hernando county. Front 9 was 4-stars, Greens were really nice just some rough spots in the fairways. Back 9 was 1-star, you need a off-road golf cart from teebox to green, fairways were non existent, greens were bumpy from aeration and had pine needles all over a few of the holes (no rain today so they could of used a blower) Pace of play on front nine was very good, back 9 not so good, probably because of the conditions.
