Silver Creek Plantation

A week away in the mountains was made all the better by this beautiful and reasonably priced course. Tons of elevation. Amazing views off the tee boxes. Temperature stays moderate and the fairways are lush. The bunkers are the only drawback, but at this price, I completely ignored them being sub standard and enjoyed the rounds I played without issue. Right from the start you have a long Par 4 with at least 100 yds of elevation gain. It's adjacent to number 10 which plays about the same uphill and is slightly longer. Hole 2 then does a flip flop and gives you about 100 yds downhill off the teebox, but this time it's a Par 5 and water waits about 235-240 out, just 10 yds past the landing area. Then its a full 90 degree turn and another 200 to the green with the water running up the right the whole way home. Easily my favorite hole on the course. There are some fun par 3's sprinkled in as well with massive downhills off the tee. Even the range at Silver Creek has a gigantic down then uphill slope to hit into and some water on the left about 200 out. Great folks in the clubhouse too with a nicely stocked pro shop. Can't oversell the views either. Amazing vistas of the surrounding mountains from all over the course. Truly a hidden gem that I can't wait to get back and play.

The course layout Is great and views are gorgeous. I have played here many times over the years and the bunkers really need to be completely reworked and the greens were struggling to hold on here at the end of the summer. Those two things keep my review from being 5 stars.

Really great layout and condition, except no sand in most bunkers at all, and nobody repairs their ballmarks,

Course layout was fantastic. Great staff. Most bunkers are under repair, but if you don't hit into them, nothing to worry about. Some greens are in poor shape, and all would be better if people repaired their ball marks on the greens.

Had a 7:30 AM tee time, so pace of play was great. Very challenging layout. Greens were in very good shape. Will definitely be back.

Course is in great shape including the greens...It is great they support good coronavirus practices

First time out at Silver Creek. I live in Morganton and this was my first time playing Silver Creek. Very Impressed with the course and facilities. Will be back tomorrow.

The course was is great shape except for the bunkers which were not being maintained and were unplayable. We layed out of all bunkers.

This course has it all (and for $32.00 with cart at 1pm)! I played today (Wed.July 22,2020) and it was hot! The gentleman in the pro shop was very friendly and helpful as well as the lounge all the staff were great as well. To be such a hot summer here and the course be in such great shape I could not have been happier. I was not held up by any golfers and I was a solo (took me 3 hours 20 min to play 18). The greens and fairways were immaculate and it was very obvious the golfers and staff did there part to make sure the course stays this way. Soft fairways and greens (how? with this much heat) and everything was COVID SAFE!! Do bring water or purchase from the lounge only because the course is taking all precautions with water containers on the course with Covid. The gentleman in the proshop told me ahead of time as well (so nice). I could not have been happier and will be back very very soon! Thanks to everyone at SilverCreek for such a great day and fro keeping everything out there in such pristine condition!

Silver Creek has always been one of my favorite places to play. Mainly because it’s right in my backyard. I haven’t played here in a while but the course never disappoints. If there was anything negative I would have to say, would be that the bunkers are pretty rough because it’s full of mud. However I have noticed they are trying to fix and grow in a lot of there bunkers with Bermuda which is smart because upkeep on bunkers is expensive. I think $35 is a little expensive for around here, so playing for $22 is a plus thanks to online deals.

I loved the course, but if you are going to play bring your short game skills. The greens are small and some narrow, so your irons need to be precise... Would definitely play here again...

Nice course Good layout and great elevation and views Course condition is average.
bunkers are being worked on at the moment but with Covid and no rakes on most courses it didn’t factor in.
I would def play again

Pretty much a private club experience and well worth the money! One of the new owners was extremely welcoming like I was a member myself and made sure that I enjoyed my day to its fullest… Can’t say enough great things about this place. Definitely will be back time and time again. I was speaking to current members and apparently the new management/ownership is top notch, working on the course to make it even better. Tee to green, this course was in great condition aside from some of the bunker work that they are working on currently Which I was told about ahead of my around as well. Well done SILVER CREEK PLANTATION!

Hot deal, 11:30 tee time. No one in front or behind us. Great course conditions. Fun course. Under 3hr round.
The staff in the pro shop and snack bar were great. Definitely playing here again.

We had a great time on this great layout - course conditions were fantastic!
