Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club - Silver Pony Course

I have played this golf course for the past 10 years or so. I have always considered it to be a fun track. It has the best patio for the after round beer!

But on this day (prime time) the greens had been aerated and were in poor condition. There is no real practice facility. However there is premium pricing.

Quite frankly, Phoenix golf in March has turned into a "gouge".

Golf courses without a range. Huge chipping area, and putting green, but no range?

The back 9 is much more fun to play. Front 9 is mid

Silverado never disappoints me always a good experience when I golf there. Greens had been aerated on the front 9 but back was ok. Great day for golf even if it was 100 degrees

A twosome at 1:50… Due to them over booking two foursomes in front of us and a bachelor party of 16 behind us. We tee off at 2:30. Paw play through the front nine was close to three hours. The Marshall came over and told us that we could replay the front line since no one was in front of us. Well, there was still three people in front of us if you have $150 play anywhere else. I’

In good shape, fast greens and challenges at many holes. Straight, long or short is rewarded.

Short course so easy to score. Grass in fairways and greens is pretty sparse, no sand in the traps

I have played here several times over many years. The condition and layout is good. Greens are quick and lots of roll on the fairways. My only complaint is that the course is over priced. It’s comparable to Starfire down the street but $50 per round more.

Played with my wife who is just taking up the game. Course paired us with a nice gentleman who had knowledge of course. This arrangement allowed us to start doing 1/2! He early.

Great layout, excellent conditions. Beverage cart prices a bit exhorbitant.

On the whole a great time!
