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.

My only suggestion is that it would have been nice to know that driving range doesn’t open until 12:00 on Wednesday

Back in good shape

There’s a couple bad greens still (that are very playable) and the other greens are back to the mid/upper quality I expect there. They’ve also mulched a bunch of thicket that used to line hole 11 and 12. Honestly I hate it and you can’t even hit out of it because the brush wasnt even mulched finely. The stuff they left behind is so bulky it will not break down anytime soon. Sure seems like a poor use of funds. Yes the carts are trash too but over all it was good enough to be back on my regular schedule.

Terrible

Was excited to play this because I’ve heard so much good about it. Show up, staff was rude, given a broken cart and when I reported it to the desk, told me “deal with it, other people do”. So we move onto play….. How do you make a 80 yd par 3? Worst decision to do. Greens were choppy and not maintained. No cart girls to be seen for days. Not an enjoyable time at all. Won’t be back. Golf club of Texas….now that’s a standard I appreciate

This course would be perfect for me as it is minutes from my home. However, it continues to disappoint. I haven't played here for three years but decided this spring to give it a try again. First, they don't have any drinking water on the golf course. Second, the first time I played almost half the greens were damaged to the point you couldn't putt. This improved as the weather has warmed but something is wrong with their maintenance. Two of the greens had some type of ground hornet digging nests and I found hornets in the hole more than once while retrieving my ball. I will say the fairways are pretty decent on the front nine but they continue to let tree growth/shade erode several of the back nine fairways. Finally, they charge a price that is equivalent to some of the better courses in San Antonio while delivering a low tier golf and customer service experience. I would tell travelers to play La Cantera, The Quarry or Canyon Springs. This is sad because this could be a very good golf course to play.

Terrible course management from the general manager on down.

While playing by myself last Friday June 19th at 310 , I Was passed up on the first whole by a husband and wife to join there three friends on the second tee box. Front office did very little help after I called and asked if 5 soms were allowed. Fast forward two holes that Said couple proceeds to threaten to beat me up on the fourth hole after I asked them if they had thrown my ball in the woods on hole 3. Silverhorn doesn’t care about its customers and has become a joke. Just go to La cantera.

Under Repair

A couple of greens are under repair and makeshift greens are in play on back nine. I know it has to be done but people should be informed about it. Great course in great shape otherwise.

Greens have issues.

I did choose to recommend this course to a friend. Only a good friend as a joke. We Played after an early morning downpour. Course was still draining when we arrived at 7:00 am. I read some reviews that the greens had some problems. They were accurate. I was wondering why so many tee times along with a little lower rate. Fairways are fine. I hate it when a course loses control of the conditions of their greens. This could kill the course. The front not good / not terrible, but the back starting on #11 through #14 were not playable. Temporary greens on a few of them were a joke. It is almost like what the heckis even the point. Just shut the holes down and charge less. I don't know the solution, but the only one may be to just shut it down. These courses try to slick up the greens to make them fast, but in San Antonio with the drought we've had over last several years has been brutal. I rather play on a slow green with grass to keep the course playable than let this happen to them. Also, the Bandit in New Braunfels is experiencing some green issues. It like what the HE double toothpicks is going on.

Poor Greens

The fairways are in great shape. But the greens have been aerated. The greens on the front are bumpy due to aeration but the back has greens with a lot of disease. There are two temporary greens. It’s a great course with a great layout. It’s just not worth the money at this time. Give it a few weeks to heal.

Greens are trash

For the amount you pay I would expect to play on some better greens and some type of notice of greens being under construction. Then to top it off on a holiday they had grounds workers cutting during your play. I understand it has to be done but on a holiday when you are still charging full price. Thank god they have great staff from the clubhouse to the cook the staff was great.
