SilverHorn Golf Club of Texas
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
Great Time
Had great time!!! Course & greens are in great shape. Probably going to play again b4 I leave Sunday.
Loved the course
I loved the course, but for my first time going there was no cart girl, no beer , Gatorade, drinks available to buy, no snacks. Y'all ran out of everything. Owner needs to stock up ! Even during a remodel!
First time
They first time playing here. Lived the entire Coarse. Very well maintained and the layout is wonderful. If I had to complain about anything, no score cards. I was advised to download the App. Had a great time.
Good Course
Good course for these areas. Definately not worth $95 to play!!!!
Green Fees are better spent elsewhere
Played Silverhorn today with 3 friends. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good: The course was in pretty good shape, especially since we're in the middle of August in South Texas. Greens rolled well and the fairways were in pretty good shape. Some of the tee boxes were looking pretty rough however.
The bad: The guy behind the counter in the pro shop was rude. I'll not bore you with the details but he was definitely having a bad day (or at least seemed like it). There were no scorecards on the carts. OK, we'll just pick one up at hole #2 like you do at EVERY OTHER golf course in San Antonio...Nope, none there either. At the turn, one of our party goes inside to see about getting a scorecard and again, Mr. Sunshine behind the counter blows him off and tells him to use their app. I'm like OK, I'll download the app cause I guess that's the only way I'll know what I'm looking at for each hole but in order to use the app you have to fill out a lot of personal information, to include your email address just to use the electronic scorecard or gps...No thanks...I really don't want to get email spammed to death by this golf course.
The ugly: There wasn't one water station anywhere on the course. Not one! We're in South Texas in the middle of August for crying out loud and not one hole has any water??? Yeah, the beverage girl did make her way around to us twice but come on man, we're in the middle of brutal heat and humidity. I also didn't like the fact there there are no bathrooms on the course except at the clubhouse. Only bathroom I saw anywhere out on the course was a portapotty.
Your green fees are better spent at the Alamo City Golf Trail courses in my opinion.
