SilverHorn Golf Club of Texas
About
Silverhorn Golf Club of Texas, located only 15 minutes from San Antonio's Riverwalk, has quickly gained a reputation as being some of the best golf in Texas. The layout covers 262 scenic acres of rolling hills covered in mature oaks and cedar trees. The challenging golf course features tree-lined fairways and carefully contoured greens. There are also lakes and creeks, both dry and wet, coming into play throughout the golf course. The front nine's signature hole is the par-5 sixth, which has 20 acres of water bordering the entire left side, while the back nine's signature is the par-4 15th, which is considered the toughest hole on the golf course. This 446-yard hole features an elevated green that is guarded by a large bunker on the left and two creeks crossing the fairway.

Dead greens
2 greens are completely dead and the other 16 are partially dead. This is not a golf course anymore. The most important part of chipping and putting is impossible b/c all of the greens are dead. Avoid this course
Buyer Beware
I booked a round at Silverhorn Golf Course last week through Golf Now and thankfully got a hot rate and with my Golf Pass membership I paid $40 for 18 holes and a cart. I'm glad I got that deal or I would've been pretty hot. The course conditions were probably worth the $40 and no more. I've always enjoyed the challenging layout of the course. The conditions, for the most part, from tee to green were fair. SH has never been a GC that drains well and there was that issue, standing water, even though it hadn't rain for days The greens however, were in poor shape. Several of the greens were very bumpy, with patches/gouges and holes filled with sand. They also had two temporary greens for #13 and #14 that were in the fairway of those holes. All the greens weren't horrible, but there were enough to say I'm glad I didn't pay more than $40 to play. I saw a video the next day on Facebook where the Superintendent remarked about the challenges of Bermuda greens and Texas weather and that the greens were in great shape. They are not and several courses on the Alamo City Golf Trail have better greens and you'd pay a lot less.
Taxing
If you have 3 holes where the greens are in the fairways don’t charge premium. 130$,7$ a hole, take of 21$.
Great Layout-Bad Greens
I truly enjoy playing this course from time to time..AWESOME LAYOUT n somewhat challenging with all the trees..HOWEVER, for this price point, NO WAY should the greens look like this! It seems as if there is not any effort to rectify the horrible greens ..probably bc people are still showing up to play daily. Save yourself some $$ and play any course on the Alamo Trail bc all of them are way way better than SilverHorn!
Challenging course but back nine greens were in very poor condition. Basically putting on dirt and sand. When greens get fixed will be a great course again
Bad Greens
Every course has its issues, but I feel for what you’re paying staff should disclose the horrible unplayable conditions of their greens at the moment. The cart I got was barely working from the beginning and not sure how staff let a cart like that be used by the public as it literally stopped turning on 15th hole and they had to bring me a new one. Fairways were good, but overall, I would not come here again unless some serious changes to the greens and transparency from staff is made a priority.
A few greens showed some dead spots, but overall course was in good shape
Horrible greens
Only a couple greens have 80% coverage. Most greens are 30-60% covered. Mostly dirt.
If you don’t mind awful greens the rest isn’t too bad but for the price there are plenty other choices out there that at least have well maintained greens along with carts with gps. Should be a 20$ dollar round at best.
Great staff, greens need WORK
The staff is by far the best aspect. Great check in experience, clean carts (should have a gps update for the price), good grass for the range, the fairways were in good shape, but the greens need a lot of work and look neglected.
Move on
Played her a few times...pace has always been slow but the layout and the conditions were usually decent. Not now...the greens are absolutely horrible..no grass...dead..fungus....yes they have to be some of worst green i have seen or played...you would expect at a $40 muni but not an $80 so called premium course. Too many options to waste your time here right now. Even though the rest of the course was a ok shape...the greens change all that. To bad...nice layout and setting...nice staff..but the course is joke right now...at least at these prices
Poor conditions
Course conditions were very poor. Greens were not playable and they are overcharging for these conditions.
Greens
Greens are in terrible condition, i don’t recommend the couse right now, till they do something to improve the greens
Greens and rough
The greens are in poor condition and the first cut is not being cared for.
Needs a Lot of maintenancw
Very friendly staff, but greens in general in terrible condition. Needs a Lot of maintenance
Do not play here.
In the past, Silverhorn has been a good place to play. Right now the majority of the greens are nearly an unplayable condition. We played on a Wednesday morning and the driving range was closed. The practice green was in horrible condition and no short game practice area. The golf carts had bald tires no GPS. At this time, Silverhorn may be the poorest condition course in the city of San Antonio. I am really upset that Golf now allows a course like this to charge over $80 with no warning about the condition of the course there should really be an option for a full refund when this Happens.
I want a refund!
This was the worst condition corse I have ever seen. I have played this course before but it has been a year or so. Today I payed over $80 to play this trashed layout. Save your money. First I pulled up and was told the “range” was closed for maintenance on Wednesdays. It had mats that looked like green concrete but ok. The practice green is in awful shape, should have been a warning, with no chipping signs everywhere as if I could hurt this sanded mess. We teed off behind a men’s group tournament that guaranteed a 5 hour plus round on a Wednesday morning. There was not a single water jug on the course, not a ball washer. I saw a cart girl once on the front and once on 18. I really feel a full refund is necessary, I would have gone back to the clubhouse but was so mad I just left. This place needs to shut the doors and everybody working there needs to be banned from ever setting foot on a golf course again.
Not worth the green fee
The conditions are just awful. The greens have no grass. They’re just mud pits covered in a half inch layer of coarse sand and mulch. You’ll spend 10 minutes on every green just picking up twigs and acorn caps from your line. They’re charging $85 for a course that shouldn’t be more than $20 a green fee. The golf carts are falling apart. Pace of play has always been a problem out there. Driving range “grass” was terrible. Range balls don’t have dimples. I hope this place changes mgmt and superintendents soon because the layout is great. Everything else is lacking, to say the least.
Ouch on these greens
The greens are gone and will take months to repair. Texas summer will kill them again
Good simple golf option to visit in San Antonio
Nice surroundings with a lot or deer, roustic or simple golf course, greens in bad shape or in the recovery proces after winter
