Great Course

This was a great round of golf at Silver Lake. The course is in incredible shape and the layout is awesome. My problem is the front nine took 2hrs and 50 minutes. I get that it was a twilight round and the course was fully booked but it should never take that long to play 9 holes. After 9 some groups ahead of us left so the back was quick. The course looks amazing right now though, great staff, and totally worth it.

Worst pace of play of my life

Had to abandon the round after 7 holes, which took 2 and a half hours. Marshals were not keeping groups on pace and too many groups were on the course. Need to spread out tee times and enforce pace of play. Will certainly never be returning here, even though I got a rain check for the last 11 holes. You just can’t expect people to play a seven hour round.

Took us 5 hours and 23 minutes to complete the round. Luckily it was a very nice day. The halfway house was only covered with on person and there were 15 people waiting to order something

Slow!!!!!

We were a 3-some, took us 3.5 hours to play 9 holes. No rangers keeping pace. They had people starting every 8 minutes. Very poor course management. Spoke with some other people and they said it’s like this all the time.

Not worth the money at all

Paid $80 per person for the round + cart. The pace of play might have been the worst I’ve ever experienced. Basically 6 hours. Course was not in great shape. Very dry and fairways were not maintained. First hole has driving range balls all over the fairway? Group in front of us had no business playing the back tees but did anyways, and then re-teed multiple times, searched for their balls nonstop. You need a ranger. Nonetheless a day on the course is better than a day not on the course. Cheers and I’ll never be back 🦦

Pace of play is rough

They really stack the tee times here which is surprising given there are two courses. Could make a better experience by going every 10-12 minutes instead of 7 minutes. Course was in good shape. Staff was friendly. Just too hectic with the amount of golfers- 4.5 hour round when you tee off at 7 seems like a lot.

Tee off at 2:45pm, didn't finish till 8:40pm. Probably the slowest round of golf in my life, wouldn't recommend playing here past noon since it plays horribly slow. Starter was trying to push people on but overall they booked way to many people.

They sent us off at 2:12 and we didn’t finish until 8 PM. They held an outing on a Saturday in the middle of the day and allowed us to tee off after them.

Good Value Course

Course was in great condition (albeit a little wet from rain earlier in the week).

Only gripe was pace of play was tough on the front 9. This cleared up on the back 9.

First time, won't be the last time

Went here for the first time on Sunday, May 6, played the north course, and I will DEFINITELY be back. Greens were in amazing condition, starter was great, had a cart girl drive past 4 times throughout 18... great course, and for $65? Cannot beat it. Only gripe would be the pace of play was brutal. We were on track for a 5.5 to 6-hour round through 9, luckily some people in front of us only played 9 so it ended up being a 5-hour round. 100% would recommend

Typical muni layout

Course conditions were good - fairways in good shape, the greens were a bit slow. The course is pretty flat and there is not much to the course. The holes are pretty much side by side. Lot of people hitting into our fairway and ball confusion. There are some mature trees which help with the views. Overall, it's an okay course. I wanted to try it since I've never played it before. None of the holes are that memorable. It was a good day to golf though, so I can't complain too much.
