Golfer Reviews
First time out here
This course has a fun and challenging layout. But the fairways were torn apart here, they definitely need to be doing more maintenance and I noticed quite a few patches of moisture damage throughout the course. We've just recently started getting rain again coming off of a drought, hopefully they can get some more of the fairways up to speed soon.
Great round
Course was in good shape with some fairway spots fraught damaged. The greens were good as were the tee boxes. Greens were a little slow due to higher grass.
Nice course but many fairways very rough
We had a nice time playing but it’s important to note that many fairways are in poor condition…lots of bare spots and sand. The greens are in excellent shape while the tee boxes were average at best. Pace was slow for the front 9 as we were behind slow groups executing a couples tournament, but back 9 was fast. Overall, we had a great time but be aware of some condition issues.
My favorite short course!!!
Love the place well kept, good food, great Staff, highly recommended!!!
Sandy
I can appreciate wanting to put money into the club, but there was NO grass to hit off! Should have discounted the price, Restaurant staff was awesome.
Terrible
Heard good things about the course but was extremely disappointed. Tee boxes and fairways were all sand and dirt. Greens were aerated and sanded, no heads up or discount for this. Not worth the price at all, this is a $25 course at best
Well Manicured
Short courses can often feel like some of the holes were just added to fill some space, that's not the case at Silverthorn . Fun track, no par 5's, but plenty of trouble and definitely many risk reward opportunities. Tee to green, the course was well manicured, and the staff was accommodating, friendly and helpful. Had a nice meal in the café, with excellent service and fair pricing.
Kicked off the course at 630
If you book a twilight round and pay for 18, don’t expect to finish—even with plenty of daylight left. We teed off around 5:10, and despite having about an hour and a half of sunlight remaining at 6:30, we were told to pack it up on 13. Not sure how someone is supposed to get through 18 holes in an hour, they need to change the twilight rounds to 9 holes only if that’s the case. Otherwise, course was in good condition and greens rolled good but were a tad slow. You can tell they’re working to keep it in nice shape. It sucks you can’t play here any later than that in the evening.
Short course par 66, great layout, always great condition.
Fun course. Par 66, some very challenging holes. Always well maintained. Staff and people playing here are all very nice. Will be playing here often especially during the summer.
Fun short course
A short par 66 with lots of unique bends and lay ups! Beautiful layout and very friendly staff from pro shop to the bar! Played in 3 hours 20 minutes and didn’t wait on one hole.
