Enjoyable Round

Overseeding pretty good (fairways), greens very good. Some attention needs to paid to irrigation leaks. Quite a few areas were pretty wet from what was apparently a leak.
Cart paths could also use some attention.

Grounds Crew on Strike?

The grass on the greens was almost as long as fairway grass on a decent course. To determine how to expect the ball to behave on the greens was practically impossible. These greens reminded me of temporary greens sometimes used by courses when an actual green is under construction.
The entire course looked unkept to the point I wondered if the grounds crew was on strike.

Take care of the greens

Greens were brutal and seem like they’re neglected

1st Time

First time taking my teenaged daughter to golf so we went late as not to slow anyone down. She definitely enjoyed her first time though it was crazy hot out. Great course for a first timer.

Better than expected

Hadn’t played Silverbell in 20+ years and I was happily surprised. For being a muni course pace was good, greens were better than expected and taken care of. It’s jume so it’s hot and the lack of rain is and water is evident with the rollout on fairways. HOWEVER I would definitely play there again and plan to again soon.

Quick round of 18 holes

I booked the prepaid tee time and enjoyed my round! I was able to play through several other groups as I caught up with them. Everyone was friendly and I finished in around three hours.
The course was in decent condition, a bit dry in some areas. The greens had some type of growth but were cut well and the ball rolled well.
I'll play here again in the near future!
