Needs some work

The front 9 is in good shape but many fairways on the back 9 are dirt and greens are hard.

Wouldn't recommend

The condition of the course warrants a one star rating. Tee boxes were almost non existent, bunkers had weeds growing in them, fairways had patches of weeds. The only bright spot at times were the greens and that was few and far between.

There's no way they should be charging $50+ a round, it's robbery. I would maybe pay $20 if I were to play this track again, but I won't.

Summer conditions

Pro shop staff, meh. Starter was very friendly. Pace of play is great, if you T off before 8 on a Saturday. There is a ladies league that starts at 8, and those gals don’t mess around. They are fast, but friendly. The course really took a down turn over the last few months. Greens were slow and had lots of dead spots. Fairways didn’t look great either. Looks like a $40 FL course charging $65-70. I played there quite a bit over the winter/spring, this is definitely the worst I’ve seen it.

Great pace of play

Enjoyed the round. Overall the course condition was pretty good. Fairways actually had grass and greens were in good condition. Great value for the money. Finished the round in 3 hours!

Surpising Look

I know that Florida has been in a drought for the past few months. But the course was not in good shape. The greens had not been cut or rolled and was slowly than they used to be. The rough had a lot of weeds growing within the rough. The sand traps, were hit or miss. Some had grass growing in them. On hole #7 the fairway was as bad as the rough, where you couldn't tell the difference between the two. I do remember this course being in better shape but I'm not sure what happened. The staff is friendly and was very helpful. I will be waiting to see, the next review or two, to see if the course has gotten better before I head back out there!

Decent Course

I always enjoy play Silverthorn. Conditions were ok. Tee boxes and fairways are struggling because of lack of rain. Greens were decent but slow. Overall a good value.

Solid course.

The course is in decent shape. Greens are nice but tee boxes and fairways need a little help on a few holes.

Will definitely play again soon.

Better

Course has seen it's up and downs.

It is vastly improved.

Greens are smooth and fairly lush.

Fairways on back nine are mostly bare and need some work.

Good layout and worth a visit.
