SilverHorn Golf Club of Texas

Greens in particular, awful. Charging full price is a crime!

The golf course was in terrible condition. The greens in particular were awful. There were work crews all over the golf course running tractors in wood chippers while you were playing, they did not stop when you were hitting a shot or putting.

You should warn the people making reservations and you should most definitely not be charging full fair for a golf course in this condition.

It was not my first time at this course but it was my son in laws. He’s only played a few courses in San Antonio but he said this one is his favorite so far. We had an excellent time bonding over the round. We really look forward to coming back and enjoying another round at Silverhorn.

There is still no drinking water on the course. We saw the beverage cart once on the front . 9 and that was it.

Green on the back nine are in rough shape.

The course has a lot of wear and tear on it. 4 tee shots on the back rolled into dirt and stones.

I booked the 12:50 tee time.

The staff was pleasant. I got a bucket before we teed off and loosened up. Got to the tee and met the rest of the golfers. We had a great time. Although we did hit balls off the fairway we were conscious of the pace and the group behind us. There was a cart girl stationed on the course which is fine but the day was hot and this course has never put out igloos with water for the players. It would make a good round a little better.

Great outing..course was in pretty good condition!

Dont waste your money if you care about in shape greens

All of the above are in horrible condition. Way overpriced course. As bad as Olympia was a year ago.

Staff friendly, nice range, no chipping area, the practice putting area was okay.

Good course layout, a really nice feature was lot of deers on course. Most tee boxes were level and very hard, hard meaning tough to get a tee in them. Fairways clean and well seeded in most places, a few rough spots that were not really noticeable. Greens were spongy and slow (8 - 9 stimp) a lot of fresh ball marks on these greens.

Pace of play was okay - it got stacked up a few times. The clubhouse amenities shut down before dark. No place to socialize after it gets dark.

Look- I’ve played SilverHorn for well over 15 years. I’ve always enjoyed the course, their food and drink offerings, and the staff.

The last three times that I have played there have been in the last six months and their green fees have gone up to match other courses of this type that did their increases first.

$110 for greens fee and half a cart. And $8.50 for a small bag of range balls.

Well this course isn’t worth that much.

We played there today. The driving range is usually pretty beat up by the time we got there but grass is better than mats. They have the TopTracer tool on their range which can give you feedback on your swings, shots, and other info. I didn’t use it today because my right elbow is jacked up and I figured that I didn’t need to compete against myself but to just hit the ball straight.

First hole is a pretty straight par 5 but is not that easy. When we got on to the green we noticed the issue of the cup replacement grass was noticeably lower than the rest of the green. We needed to create an impromptu rule to give us relief from having to putt over that 1/4” drop off into the spot where the cup used to be. We made jokes about if it got stuck in that hole we’d still count it as holed. We weren’t serious.

One of the problems of this course is the abundance of standing water on the cart paths, around the greens, in-between tee boxes, fairways, and in the case of the third hole, the tee boxes themselves.

One of the more pleasant features of this course is the abundance of wildlife that you may encounter during your round. Ducks, deer, and other critters might unnerve you if you wind up close enough to the tree line.

There are many challenging greens and pin placements.

But with the challenging greens comes the one thing that caused my playing partner to lose several strokes- bald patches in the turf (see photos).

The final thing that I will criticize are the bunkers. The sand that they use is fine. It’s not too course nor too fine. However in many places, and because this course gets so much useage, the traps could use more sand in them.

Back in October, I partially tore my UCL in my right elbow when my club grabbed the weed barrier fabric in the bottom, it stopped my club in an almost full swing.

Many bunkers appear this way.

Now to my thesis statement- going back 12 months, the course cost $95 / round with cart.. The course was in much better shape. Even during the severe droughts and during our Summers, this facility always presented a quite playable facility and it still is.

I just cannot justify the extra $15 to play a course that was in better shape a year ago,

For instance, I shouldn’t need to drop from my drive shot being swallowed in the middle of the fairway from a water leak:/ giant standing water area.

If you are coming to SA, this is a decent place to play and a cheaper alternative to some of the other courses north of downtown but as I sit here icing my elbow again, because I mishit a tee shot on #3 where my 3w went deep into the tee box. My 3w got stuck in the mud on the tee box and a clump of wet mud actually went further than my ball, I would like to reiterate that this course is in good enough shape to justify the $100+ fees.

Course was decent but way overpriced for what you get. No water stations, no ball cleaning stations, cart girl came by once, greens were in rough shape and patchy, fairways on some holes were rough. Course is not worth $100 a round. This should be around $50

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!!!!!!!!!!!
