Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club - Silver Pony Course

I reserved three teetimes total cost 450 something. When I got to the course I went to pay to very nice people at the desk and when I handed them the gift cards they were like oh we’re sorry we’re not able to process those. I asked why since I received them just at Christmas time. They said that they had not been able to process gift cards since January because of some kind of software update. This is the middle of April I asked how did they expect me to pay and they said cash or credit card. They said that the gift cards were never expired and I would be able to use them any time. I pointed out that the guest that I had brought was leaving in two days and this would not work for him. They were very sorry about that. One of them eventually called the manager who came out and said yeah it was a glitch somewhere and they hadn’t been able to work it out and yeah, I would have to pay cash or credit card. But don’t worry your gift card never expires. I walked out to talk to the other guest. We had decided not to play there. And we were pretty upset. I was also going to let them know, they had my money, but was not letting me play the course. When I went into the shop the manager was there and he said here let me take your cards, I have got another way of making them work. And he did. I wonder how many people since January have been turned away from using their gift cards which they have already paid money to the club for. Not a good look at all.

Skipped bag drop and the cart guys still walked out half way to my car to grab my bag which was a great first impression. The fairways are wide and easy to hit, good enough shape on them. The greens were the only blemish on my round overall they were pretty sandy but they rolled ok regardless. Jim the ranger was a treat to talk to while I was waiting to take my tee shot on 8, great guy. Go rockets Jim.

Started just before 4 and finished before 7 cannot complain about that! 14-17 are brutal to play into the sunset so be prepared!

Your starter was great and he needs to be commended. Very friendly and a pleasure to have had him there both times I have played. Can not remember his name but it was late and he sgtill was very friendly.

I had a tee time for mid afternoon and when I showed up at the course I found out there were multiple bachlor parties going on the course. No worries, that’s part of life. When I went out, I was behind a twosome of two men. My first two holes, took almost an hour. The 2 men in front, were so slow that there were two open holes after them, and me and another group behind them. I elected to go back and play one and two again as no one was on the 1 tee. I played 3 holes and the two men were now on the fourth hole. I waited nearly 30 minutes to finish the 4th hole and decided that this round would not be a fun day so I picked up my ball. Drove back dropped and cart off and went home. No marshall’s in sight play for the few holes I was able to enjoy, At the rate of play, it would have been a 3-4 hour 9 holes.

Great shape and a lot of fun to play . Very very friendly staff

Course was good ands conditions were good, but we counted at least 4 or 5 groups of six playing, it backed us up so bad that we called the pro shop to ask if wet could just play the front nine again. I told them about the gross groups of six and they said the don’t allow that but did nothing about it. We didn’t get our full 18 because it got dark. The only way I would ever consider playing again is if I knew they would actually enforce peace of play, otherwise don’t waste your time or money

Overall this was a great course to play. The staff are friendly and helpful. The tee boxes and fairways were in excellent condition. The greens however appeared to have been cut too close, and thus were hard and almost bare in some spots. The pace of play was a little slower than I like, but not bad. Our round took 4 hours and 23 minutes. We had to wait a few minutes on every tee box.

Course is open for easy play. Carts need GPS for faster play. Greens in good shape and nice rolling. Carts could be cleaner

Silverado delivers good value for the money. Course was in good shape with good pace of play.

We played several courses in and around Scottsdale during this golf trip and Silverado (which we thought was an under dog) was one that was underrated..! From the ENTIRE excellent, super-friendly staff, to the course conditions, to the tracks playability!! It was a perfect way to finish up a 4-round golf trip.. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning to play this course in the future!

Very well maintained, staff excellent - took bags from the car to carts. Very friendly. Cleaned clubs after round. Upbeat. Very helpful

Lot of cart driving between holes. Didn’t have to hit over much dessert which was very nice.

A good but not great public course, which doesn’t justify the $185 rate I paid for a weekday round. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the fairways were in good shape, but the greens were a little beat up. No practice range. I realize prices are elevated everywhere this time of year in the valley, but relatively to other courses, not a good value.
