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.

Silverhorn has always been a nice course. I just wish they hadn’t gotten cheap and removed all the water buckets.

Hardest course in SAT, but in summer beware no water on course, bring some yourself. Also grab a wet towel no ball washers....or use puddles.

Local knowledge helps a lot

Overall, the course is a fairly tight layout. Fairways are quite narrow with trees on both sides of most holes. On many holes, you can’t see what is up ahead and you’re guessing where might be a good aiming point and distance. I hit driver on a hole with 275 yards to a dry creek bed (normally hit driver about 240) but ended up in the creek bed because of the significant slope down to the creek. If I played the course again, I would not take driver on that hole and might even lay up with a hybrid. On another hole, my tee shot was 5 yards inside the cart path, but there were big rocks instead of rough. There were lots of holes where I thought I hit a good shot but ended with a dismal lie because the “hazards” are not readily visible from the tee and I didn’t have the local knowledge to avoid them.

Like other reviews have noted, there isn’t a scorecard to be found anywhere on the course, and they don’t have water stations along the way. There was a tournament before us and there was a beverage cart for those folks, but nothing for the regular golfers. You can get water refills or other drinks at the turn, but it would be really good to have something on the course. There are no ball washers on any holes (posts are there, just no washers).

If I had to pay what they were charging for the weekend tee times, I would be very unhappy, but it’s not too bad for the price I paid. Glad I brought water with me.

Wee hid holes

Nice course. Layout was a good challenge with some hidden holes. Quite narrow in some parts making the wind come into play. Ready to find your bask should you miss hit, not that I ever did.

.Very nice course

My first time playing at this course and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was in great shape. Loved seeing the deer early in the morning. Lunch afterwards was great. Just a bit overpriced, but I can live with that.
