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.

Not worth the money

Carts are horrible , no towel , no tees , no water , no ice chest , no cart reader , pace is 6 hrs , cart girl didn’t come around till hole 11. Take your money to The Quarry, La Cantera , Canyon Springs.

Round

Course is in great shape. There is no water on the course which is absurd considering it’s the middle of summer. So make sure to bring your own. Also no scorecards. Money must be running low there. Would definitely recommend and playing here though

Beautiful Course!

I had the privilege of playing on this course in the fall of 2022, and was so happy to have the chance to play again on this visit to San Antonio! The course is quite long even from the forward tees, but it was in great condition and we almost had the course to ourselves (the temps were hovering around 100 degrees!) I hope that I have the opportunity to play at Silverhorn again!

All things considered

It was 100 degrees out, we tee’d off around 1:40pm. No one in front or behind us. All was good. The cart girl came around 3 times. It’s a minus that there’s no water available but other than that the course looked good.

This course was in good shape

The course was in good condition and pace of play was good except there was a foursome in front of us that was, well I don’t know what they were playing but they were back tracking, walking 30 yards then going to get the cart but other than that love this course!!

Beautiful day. Hot and slow

Played a nice course with some good guys. Not good golfers but lots of entertainment. So, the challenges on the course didn't always get the front seat. Greens were good, rolled well. Fairway grass was full and made hitting the ball a pleasure.

No water available

The course conditions and layout are great right now. It had been a while since playing there due to a history of slow play out there. It’s still quite slow due to the difficult layout but my biggest complaint is that they have no water jugs along the course. Its extremely hot here in Texas and I’m not so concerned with water to drink since they do have a beverage cart out but I like to keep a wet towel to clean my equipment and a separate towel to keep as cool as possible. The lack of water made my experience less enjoyable for such a nice facility.

Water coolers

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.

Has potential.

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.

Always disappoints

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.

Tough test and phenomenal condition.

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!

Where’s The Water??

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.
