Default Silver Lake

If putting is a major enjoyment of your game, I would skip playing Silver Lake . The greens are in terrible shape !

I guess the best description I can give you is that the greens are “unkept” . You would be extremely lucky if you could keep a put online to the hole.

The holes on ALL of the greens have very ragged and damaged edges and that’s the result of golfers sticking their ball retrieval suction cups without first removing the flag stick and/or sticking their big paws into the hole to get their ball without any concern for the damage they are causing . Add to that, every green had spike drag marks by folks that don’t know how to pick up their feet when they walk!

When we played , it was evident that the hole locations had not been changed in a few days .

The rest of the course was in relatively good shape and I do have to mention that the staff there was very friendly and made you feel welcome.

Is the course playable ? Yes it is. Curse rating ?

I would say a C due to the condition of the greens….
