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!

Bad shape

Many fairways have become sand and dirt with little grass. The rough looks like something out of Scotland. High weeds all over. Spend most of time looking for golf balls. Yet they haven’t reduced the price but have drastically reduced the quality

Stay away until they use a lawn mower

Worst course I've played this year. Weeds on fairways with patchy sand spots; non existent tee boxes; Greens are Velcro; and my favorite: 1 to 2 foot roughs (I'm not exaggerating). Bypass this course unless you want to lose a dozen balls in the rough or around the greens. This used to be one of my favorite courses - What happened?

Course condition

We have lived in the Silverthorn community for 11 years and our full members of the Silverthorn golf and country club. For the past five years there has been a constant deterioration of the golf course to the point where it is almost unplayable! First the tea boxes are not being maintained and some are bare. The fairways, those that have grass are loaded with clumps of weeds and the others are barren and you’re hitting off of dirt. The approaches to most of the greens are in deplorable condition so if you have a good shot it may get diverted. The rough areas are anywhere from 12 to 24 inches in height impossible to head from, this is caused because they are not cutting the rough

Worst course I ever played

This is by far the worst course I every played. The ruff had not been mowed I a while, the fairways were in very bad shape, and the greens and bunkers were very bad shape as well. I would not recommend this course to anyone.

Greens getting better

The greens are recovering from the July 4 burning. Fairways and rough have a lot of weeds and go without mowing for long periods of time. I lost five balls near the fairway in the rough because the roof is too long.

Do they own a lawnmower?

Bring a dozen golf balls and a weed wacker! The owners of this course should be ashamed of themselves, horrible fairways, hard sand and weeds in traps, overgrown grass throughout entire course. The only bright spot was that most greens were in good shape. Paid $16.00 on GolfNow and that was to much! This is a very busy golf course and as long as people are willing to pay, their just gonna keep pocketing the money and letting the course go to crap.

Going down hill

I have played Silverthorn for years but in the last year it has gone down hill.

The bunkers all look like waste bunkers, the fairways are turning non-existent with huge weed clumps and bare spots and to make it worse the place does not look like they've cut the grass in 2 months.

Still marginal

Some marginal improvement in the course since we played last week, however, rough is knee high, tee boxes are bare, and fairways have tufts of weeds and large bare spots. It’s going to take a lot of work to get things back where they were a couple of years ago.

First Time at Silverthorn

First time playing this course. Close to my house and had guest so we were looking for something close. Price was reasonable and easy to book. Staff was very friendly and got us our cart super quick and on the course. Has a little rain but to be expected. Course has some rough places with no grass on one of the tees. Been drought conditions in the area which could explain that. No one behind us until we got to 16, then all of a sudden we had 3 older ladies in golf carts playing into us. They didn't play 17 and passed us on the cart path while we were taking our shots on the fairway, then we had to hold up and wait for them on 18. They seemed to be in a bigger rush than us and didn't seem too concerned with course etiquette. I'll play the course again since it's close and all in had a good day, but the ending left a bad impression.
