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.

Think Again!!!
This course is way, way, way overpriced!!!!!! $110 for a course that has no one playing it!!!!! Course conditions are lucky if they can half that on the weekends!!!!!!! The homes had better yards than the course!!! If you charge premium for the round it SHOULD BE WORTH IT!!!! Alamo golf trail has better kept courses for half the price!!!!! Won't be back anytime soon!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoyed play
The group infront was slow and distracted with feeding the
Deers and should have let us play threw
Solid course, rough conditions
Overall the course had a great layout, but man were the conditions rough. Tee boxes weren’t in great shape, driving range was shredded, and greens had just been sanded and had quite a few dry spots as well. Definitely could see the course playing great when conditions are pristine, but yesterday was rough for sure.
What happened Silverhorn???
I have played silverhorn many times over the 25 years that I have lived here and this is by far the worst I have ever seen this course in this bad of shape. Yes, it does have a lot of water damage from the recent heavy rain, but the course conditions go far beyond that. To start with the carts, feel and drive like they've been in service for at least 15 years. The driving range is absolutely horrible. The mats are all black and nasty and look like they have some sort of mold in them .There is a lot of weeds in and around the course, especially around the greens. Most of the greens have some sort of fungus and are very patchy and have a lot of spots of crab grass. This was at one time definitely a top five course in San Antonio, but it almost feels like they've given up on the course condition for the year and that's sad to see on such a really nice track. Most of the Alamo City trail courses are in better shape right now than this course. I guess it's not bad for a $40 deal, but don't expect it to be like silverhorn from the past.
Meh
Greens were pretty rough. No ball washing or water stations. Saw the golf cart girl once. Dated course that charges a pretty penny, but could get a substantial ratings boost with just a few amenity upgrades.
this course doesnt play like $100. I would have a hard time playing again for more than $70
Horrible condition for too much $$$
I have played at SilverHorn more than 30 times over the last 20 years. It is in the worst condition imaginable, and the nerve to charge $130 per person. The range, the tee boxes, the fairways, and most importantly the greens were in awful shape. They should reconsider their rates If not, reinvest in the course.
Great Course
Super location, challenging layout with some narrow landing spots, trees, undulating greens. Some dry spots, but mostly decent.
Tough course
Narrow fairways and my high handicap made the course tough but still very fun.
Overrated
The first couple of holes were nice, greens in average shape. Then the course conditions just got terrible. Greens were punched and full fungus. The price was outrageous for the conditions.
Good course overall
The course is always fun to play. There’s plenty of wildlife to look at as well. If you’re bringing a friend that does not have clubs this is not the place to rent them overpriced and not a good quality.
We played early in the week and the pace of clay was pretty slow. I was surprised they didn’t have a Marshall.
Driving range is great and the hospitality is great also. 3 1/2 stars out of five for San Antonio.
