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.

Cost and water

The price is twice as high as Trails course and similar to resort course. I would play Silverhorn if prices were in line with other course. What happen to water on the course?

How in the world can you justify having no water on the course! Using Covid to reduce costs and labor is only justification I can even imagine.

It’s South Texas summer .. the only other course I know of in the state with no water on course is owned by same ownership as SilverhornGC..

come on now!

This course is quiet and secluded. There are lots of deer and the course is in great shape. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere.

Makeup Round

There is no way I can give Silverhorn a favorable rating because this was a makeup round. The round before this was a disaster because of the way I and my golf buddies were treated. We fully expected them to put their best foot forward because they made mistakes before. I'm sure you have heard the phrase, "when someone shows you who they are believe them". The way we were initially treated is a better reflection of the service we received from Silverhorn. Let me explain. When we finished our round we decided to have lunch. The counter person took our order. When I handed him my money, he placed the change on the counter instead of placing it in my hand the same as I did to him. And when our food was ready he brought the food for my Hispanic friend to the table but called out our order and had us come to the counter for our food. By the way, the rest of us are black. In addition, he brought the food for the customers sitting behind us to their table. By the way, they were white. This is a clear case of racism and should not be tolerated or accepted. There is nothing that Silverhorn can do to make up for this injustice. There aren't enough free rounds in the world to justify their treatment of people of color. Their counterperson's actions were intentional. He knew exactly what he was doing. When I spoke to the manager, he tried to explain that he was the only person taking orders and preparing food and that he was busy. However, he was not too busy to bring completed orders to everyone but the people of color. His actions were unacceptable and in my opinion, he should be terminated. I guess that he has done this before and maybe no one brought it to the attention of the manager. They want our money but will not give us the service as they would anyone else. I am not delusional and I know that racism will continue to exist until there are corrective actions to terminate people who commit such acts.

Definitely worth the drive!

The bad news first.

I don't know what's going on in the clubhouse but there is a noxious odor (it smells like a sewage overflow) that permeates the entire building. If this is a chronic problem, I would imagine you are losing business. If it's not a continuing problem, I hope it is not present the next time I'm there.

The only other complaint I have is that the course has a lot of hidden quirks that you would only know about after you have played the course a few times. For example, the fact that there is a penalty area that crosses the 17th fairway is shown on a GPS, but what is not shown is the anything within 20 yards of the hazard will slide down the slope into the penalty area.

This isn't something I would expect the course could or would change, and could be overcome by playing the course more often, but it was something I encountered.

The range was not to the level of the course. I would like to see similar conditions to the course on the range.

The practice green was very good, the speed roughly the same as the course itself.

On the upside, the course conditions were excellent. The greens were some of the best I have played in years. They were fast, true, and smooth, just the way greens should be.

The course is interesting and has a variety of shots.

There were very few people on the course, which might have been because I played on a Tuesday afternoon, but I was surprised how few people there were for such a good course in such good condition.

I think if I were living closer to the course (and they did something about the smell in the clubhouse) I would probably seek a membership to this course.

I'm looking forward to playing here again.

Silverhorn July 2021

This course is in great shape in spite of the amount of play. A testament to Neil, the course Superintendent and his staff. The clubhouse staff is always nice and very customer focused. The food in the bar is excellent. All representative of a great golf club, except for the range which is worse than any public facility in San Antonio. Save the money and wear on your clubs, skip the range. Overall, not a bad experience, but priced too high!

Proud of Thier course

90.00 per person and they don’t offer free range balls or free bottles of water. I’m a twosome member at La cantera for $59.00 during the week and $69.00 weekends they supply range balls, chipping green and separate putting green and to start 2 free bottles of water and they have a Marshall that we saw 4-6 times coming around giving us more free bottles of water b

You decide where would you want to play???

Poorly Managed

For $80 there should be a Marshall on the course to help maintain pace of play. And they need to put water back on the course. It’s 96 degrees outside, there is only one cart girl (who did a great job, thank you Alex!) and no water containers. The course is the selling point, the management has problems.
