SilverHorn Golf Club of Texas

It was 100 degrees and there are NO water coolers on the course. One of the gentlemen in our group the last time almost passed out from the heat. He had to stop after 9. The Cat girl is hardly around. I told the front desk about the problem out there and they gave me some story about people putting their towels in the coolers and contaminating the water. I do not understand way they can't find a solution and just look up the water kids like other courses to keep that from happening. Clear nothing I said make a difference after yesterday's round because nothing had changed. Someone is going to pass out and the course will be responsible when that happens for not having water accessible to the public.

Really neat layout. Good be 5 star. However, course can handle rain - never heard of a driving range being close cuz it’s too wet. Manicure is rough around the edges and the chipping/putting area is subpar - not a good reflection of the actual greens. Staff could use some basics hospitality training. They seemed a bit annoyed with having to be at work. Raw material is there, however, which is more than many courses can boast. Last, no GHIN rating.

Sorry Siverhorn, I keep trying but I am always disappointed. This time, the group ahead of us had a bag of corn in their golf cart and we’re feeding deer on every hole. Multiple calls to the clubhouse yielded nothing. Net was a 5 plus hour round. Also course needs some TLC. Overgrown trees hanging into fairways and lots of dead patches all around course in landing areas.

I usually play a few of the more expensive courses in San Antonio but was pleasantly surprised by the course, layout, conditions and good test of golf. The recent rain has really helped the greens and fairways. Even though the greens had recently been top dressed they rolled true. A little standing water on a few cart paths but none in the fairways. Even with nearly 8” of rain in the past few weeks a 90 degree rule was in place and definitely justified. For the price this may be the best course in San Antonio. I hope the course pro and the superintendent read this review because they definitely earned a new golfer!

The clubhouse area looks fantastic. You can tell they’ve put some money into this place since the last time I played here last year…good on them for that. However, they must be supplementing that cost expense by cheapening out on course amenities such as simple ball wash stations or drinking water. Fellas Covid has long since been over. Quit being cheap… put water jugs and ball wash stations out on the course before somebody has a heat stroke. Your cart girl had one bottle of water and it was 10 in the morning and just starting to get hot.

The course was in great conditions. The twosome I was matched with said it’s the best shape they’ve ever seen Silverhorn in. The course is packed with wildlife, it’s very serene minus the airplanes on approach to the airport.

I have played Silverhorn 3 times. Very challenging and fun.

A couple of comments.

No water jugs on the course. When your playing in high 80 low 90 weather with high humidity. You should have water every few holes.

No marshals. I started with 4. ended up alone even though all 4 played golf. This made the back really slow.

The fairways were in great shape. The greens were just sanded so they were extremely slow. The biggest issue with Silverhorn is that they insist on not having drinking water on the course. This is a major fault for a course in central Texas.

Course was in good shape, without mowing due to moisture. Fairways were thinker and the greens on the course were a bit shaggy. The pace on the practice green did not match the on course greens. Range balls were not included.

It's been a year or so since I've played there. Course is in excellent shape. The price has jumped up quite a bit, but still somewhat reasonable. Course is still very crowded, so a round is at least 4.5 hours, if you haven't played it before, it's very tight; make sure your aimer is working, especially on the back 9.

This course is great and fun to play BUT when it’s hot and humid in Texas you gotta have water jugs out on course to drink. My only complaint. Very easy to get dehydrated on hot muggy days.
