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.

Upsetting

So I will get into it and be quick. The course is always a go to but it’s missing some things and there are some things that bother me and I’m sure will bother others.

No cart girl ever. This is a major disappointment and a missing opportunity for the course. I’ve never seen a cart girl here.

Lastly, every single time I play here I always get stuck behind groups with no courtesy to let people play through. Which I can take. The part that bothers me is when there are countless times I see groups of 5 on the course. It’s literally every single time I’m here I see groups of 5 and they take absolutely forever. A ranger needs to be on the course and watch for every thing.

All of that considered it really does take a lot to press the trigger to make a tee time at this course. Everything else is super nice but it’s the little things that count that bring this course down

I've played this course off and on for a few years and today was the best shape I've ever seen it. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Teeboxes are in pretty good shape too. Rough is bald and sand traps could use a little more sand but for the price during winter this is a great value.

Great value

A friend and I played here for the 1st time in more than a year. The condition were much better than we remembered. The greens and teeboxs were outstanding. Fairways had a few spots here and there but nothing to extreme at all. We will definitely be putting this course back in our rotation.

Colored greens

for the price it is ok golf course. we played in fog and it was first time and still shooting in the dark. back nine was much better. Everything else is decent except greens. Puts were not rolling good and they were very bumpy. They were also colored green so couldn't see the shade of the grass.

Back for Seconds

This was our second time playing this course. It was in far better shape than the last time, which was in February. Pace of play was excellent, less than 4 hours. Most greens were in great shape, tee boxes and fairways could use some TLC!! But would definitely play this course again!!

Staff extremely rude

Booked tee time for 7:16am today. Got pushed back to 7:40am due to the starter let's his friends play thru first without a booked tee time. Told friends before visitors. It would not have been an issue if it was one group. But it was a group of seven. Why pay for a tee time if you are going to be treated like this. Major attitude.

It’s improved

I would say the course is in decent shape and has improved, one green that was not great.

Some of the fairways and tee boxes are starting to come back
