Challenging round

Not really narrow fairways but you have to position the ball because of the placement of trees and doglegs, not to mention the water. Every skill level can enjoy the course and the staff is terrific.

Beautiful courses

First time playing this course. I played the south course and it was in real good shape. The fairways where we'll groomed and green, same for the greens. The course had many challenging holes and the greens sloped enough to make putting interesting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There are practice greens and a driving range. The halfway snack shop has some good food choices too. Also the beverage cart came by several times. Overall it was a very enjoyable round even though we had to play through some bad weather. I will be going back.

Frustrating round

I played a Saturday afternoon round in the south course. There was no starter, therefore people just started their round in no apparent order. I got a sense that they just stack as many people in the shortest window as possible. This was the slowest round I played in a few years. Throughout my round, I never once saw a ranger monitoring pace of play. Although I paid for a full 18 holes, I quit after nine.

Fun but slow

I've been playing Silver Lake for 25+ years, and it is one of my favorite courses. The fairways are cut just right so that the ball is almost always sitting up, almost like being on tee. My only complaint about the facility is the pace of play. There will be times when there will be a group on the tee in front of you as you arrive and one in the fairway. It happens sometimes at all courses, but the rangers don't do enough to police it. You have to call clubhouse to complain before a ranger will say anything. And don't get me started on outings...they'll book a double shotgun outing and still book tee times later in the day when they KNOW the outing is still going to be on the course. Ask about it before you book a tee time and trust me, stay away if there is an outing that day.

Very open course

Great course to play if you don't want to lose any balls! Wide fairways and very few hazards.

Good for the price

People are friendly and helpful. Course in good shape. Only issue is there is no water to drink on the course. Not paying for bottled water. North course halfway house on 12th hole FYI and no cart service. Bring a jug!

Hi DJ- we actually provide FREE water bottles at the first tee any and all days that it reaches 75 degrees or more. Also, we have several water fountains on the course. Maybe you just missed them. Thanks for choosing Silver Lake and hope next time we can help you stay hydrated!

Golf for Mothers' Day

We played 18 on the South Course at Silver Lakes for my Mothers' Day outing. It was not crowded at all. Pace was excellent. No one was in front or behind us. The course itself was in good shape. For the most part the holes were pretty straight forward. Decent amenities. Beer cart and restrooms readily available. Choice of beverages was limited to beer or soft drinks. Food limited to hotdogs and brats. Over all a pleasant round on a beautiful day with my family.

Great course for great price

I've played the North Course two times this season and have had a great experience each time. The course flows nicely and is well kept. The cost is hard to beat for the quality of play.

Good course for the money

The course is always in playable condition. The North course has some very long par 4's and 6 par 3's.
