Silverhorn Golf Club of Texas, located only 15 minutes from San Antonio's Riverwalk, has quickly gained a reputation as being some of the best golf in Texas. The layout covers 262 scenic acres of rolling hills covered in mature oaks and cedar trees. The challenging golf course features tree-lined fairways and carefully contoured greens. There are also lakes and creeks, both dry and wet, coming into play throughout the golf course. The front nine's signature hole is the par-5 sixth, which has 20 acres of water bordering the entire left side, while the back nine's signature is the par-4 15th, which is considered the toughest hole on the golf course. This 446-yard hole features an elevated green that is guarded by a large bunker on the left and two creeks crossing the fairway.

Excellent!

Our twosome played behind a fivesome. Some waiting but not much; pace if play was good. Course felt very uncrowded. Hardly saw any other players other than group in front of us. Beverage cart service was very friendly & professional. Stopped by us 4 times during our round.

Everything was great until I hit a wall of slow players

The front nine was in good shape considering the number of 100 degree (without rain) days. The greens rolled smooth and fairways were firm.
I made the turn in 1 1/2 hours and then hit a wall of slow players - 4 some, then a 5 some, then 2 players. It took 30 minutes to play one hole (#10) as a single. To play golf on a 100 degree day without any breeze at would have been on pace for a 3 - 3 1/2 hour nine is ridiculous. I left without seeing the rest of the back nine.
No course marshall to speed players through and courtesy to allow faster groups through? Obviously no one cared to show any golf etiquette.

Great bang for the buck

Played a twilight round. Great experience for the price. The course is in great condition. The group in front of us had five people with only three bags of clubs, but that ended at the turn, so it wasn’t too bad. The biggest downfall of playing this course in the summer is that there are no water jugs on the entire course so come prepared

For $100…?

At 1-hundy several things need to change. Maybe start with drainage. A tee box should not be simultaneously waterlogged and dry as a bone, for example. Also, someone should tell the staff that they’re in the service business. It’s not a privilege for us to play there. It’s a privilege for them to take our money. Lastly, did you take a tree trimmer to a few things? It’s one thing to have a narrow difficult course it’s another thing for your lie to be in the first cut, and behind a tree, and in a puddle from a low spot, and have to wait 5 mins for the group in front of you to take their 4th shot from the fairway… never saw one ranger.

Not worth the money

Carts are horrible , no towel , no tees , no water , no ice chest , no cart reader , pace is 6 hrs , cart girl didn’t come around till hole 11. Take your money to The Quarry, La Cantera , Canyon Springs.

Round

Course is in great shape. There is no water on the course which is absurd considering it’s the middle of summer. So make sure to bring your own. Also no scorecards. Money must be running low there. Would definitely recommend and playing here though
