Nice course

We really need some rain to fill in off the fairways. Fairways were in great shape as was the greens. I'll be playing there again.

Pray for rain!

Great Improvement

I enjoy playing this course a few times every year and the course conditions have improved tremendously over the past 5-10 years. If you can play for less than $50, it is well worth the drive.

Great Course!

The condition were great especially given everywhere else in the area. Pace had a little log jam but nothing too bad. Most holes were pretty straight forward. Tee boxes need attention…greens a little slow. Again, the overall conditions were so much better than others in the area.

Feb 17 18 hole review

First off there is very much to like about this course. The greens and fairways are in fabulous conditions. The staff is nice and the club and restaurant are beautiful.

The layout is very different than many courses in the Tampa Bay vicinity. There isn't much water or woods that effects shots however the sand traps are placed strategically around the green that require very good approaches. There are also more hills and gulleys that if you miss a fairway, the rolls can make the next shot difficult. The greens were very slow. Looking at how perfect they were, I was expecting more touch and finesse on the greens but you have to be aggressive and putt harder than most courses.

The worst part of my experience has the pace. As a single I asked if they would pair me up for my tee time and there wasn't a starter to help. I went to the first tee and it was a foursome so no one to join and no one was scheduled anytime after me.

One group let me play through on the 2nd hole and then when I got to the next tee box more foursomes. They played pretty fast but eventually by 7th hole completely backed up with foursomes.

After the 9th went to the 10th and more foursomes teeing off and in front. One of the players was super nice and said "hey why don't you just go to the 1st hole and play again". That was great advice. I had the whole front 9 to myself, it was quiet and very enjoyable. I beat my first round score by 6 strokes. The par 3 on to an island is very cool.

Not bad

Had a good round and have played here a few times before. The pace of play is terrible as there are to many groups of 2 and when we played there was a group of 5. Like how does that happen. Where is the Marshall. To many times I have seen groups of 5. They need to clean this up.

You won't be disappointed.

The entire golf course has been over seeded. Greens are in very good condition and very puttable. Grass is a little thin on some fairways but overall the course is enjoyable to play.

Poor managing

This course is notorious for overbooking. This is the 3rd time we have played here in 6 months. We have yet to be able to tee off on time. Always a 30-45 min wait. Today was an hour 15 min wait. This course is poorly managed when it comes to tee times. They overbook and also do not have a ranger to maintain pace of play. On hole 2 they are 8 groups waiting. The next hole on hole 3 has another 6 groups waiting.

Finally back in good shape

I used to love playing Silverthorn years ago but it has been in bad shape for several years. Now it is once again in good playing condition. Bunkers could still use some work but overall it's a joy to play.
