Perfect Golf

Played all 3 courses during the US Am Tour National Tournament and the courses couldn't have been better. My opinion the Hardest is Sun, followed by Wolf, then Snow. The Greens are quick, the fairways perfect. If you spray into the desert waste area's good luck finding (or playing) your ball, so keep it in the fairway. Dis I mention the rough is LUSH and THICK? Great 19th hole restaurant. The staff is amazing as is the pro shop selection. Must play!

Good as it gets

Played Friday 3/24.

Brought 3 of my friends on a golf trip, played PGA West Stadium, PGA Mountain, and Silverrock, everyone agreed Silverrock was the best of the 3. The front 9 is great, the back 9 is iconic playing back up against the mountains. Staff was extremely friendly.

ONLY knock is the 16th hole Par 3. Looks like the grass is diseased and they are trying to get it to come back.

MUST PLAY

Fun Course with great views!

Played with a couple of buddies and a regular to the course (Thanks Lenny!!!). The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the rate of $72 was a steal! You have a to travel a bit from the cart barn/pro shop to the practice range so be sure to give yourself enough time to warm up.

The course is in very good shape, a couple of greens have some fungus rot, but although they looked a little rough they ran true. REALLY enjoyed the layout, to be honest, without our single who joined with us the scores would have been much higher, he gave us the lowdown on each hole. I love variety in my golf courses and SilverRock certainly has that. 3 par 3's and 3 par 5's on the back nine!

Food at the restaurant was great, recommend the taco's!

I know there are lots of choices in the area for your golf dollar, I would 100% recommend giving SilverRock a shot, you wont be disappointed!

Great course, could be world class

Played on a cool VERY windy day which made this course much more challenging. The layout is flat out awesome. The front 9 winds through homes (bleh), but the back puts you in the middle of nature, with great views, and beautiful scenery.
It seems every hole has an elevation change, with a few tee shots where you are hitting well above the fairways. The holes are all different and rarely do they run parallel. I love the fact the Par 3,4, and 5's are all of varying length. The is also quite a bit of OB, so beware!
The staff might be some of the nicest you will every meet.
My only 'complaint' - Playing the course in February means the Bermuda grass is all dormant, which is expected. The rough however is pretty beat up so your how your ball comes lie is a total crap shoot (There's a casino across the street, see what I did there!). I would love to play again in May/June when the course is grown out. When I do I will report back.

PLAY THIS COURSE!!!!

Course Needs Help

This COULD be a destination resort BUT the conditions of this course are just not worth the $80 green fee's. Tee boxes are awful, the fairways are bad, and the greens are just ok. The bunkers (due to covid, I get it) are full of weeds and not playable.

There are better course in the area, save your time & money.

Great Course!

This was the 3rd and last day of our 'Dukes of Hazards' guys golf outing, and we saved the best for last!

Previous courses were Plumas Pines & The Dragon... Mountain golf all!

Whitehawk is flat awesome. The day started with the nicest lady running the small snack bar making amazing breakfast burritos! Practice facility with grass and new balls, putting and chipping greens that mimic the course, and pace of play that was spot on. The course is like 3 courses in one. You start in the heather, work into the hills, and go in and out of the forest. I can see beginner golfers struggling quite a bit here, but I did not find it quite as difficult or mentally challenging as the dragon.

Everything was in perfect condition, they even have little motorcycle golf carts that are a blast. If you are making the drive, this is a MUST course to play.

GREAT Course...If you spray, stay away!

I've been hearing about the difficulty of the Dragon for over 15 years it seems, and although it has been tamed somewhat it is still a monster of a course.

Let me start by saying we were warned they had an issue with the greens due to a water main outage and funky mountain weather. It wasn't as bad as we expected as the greens were slow but not horrible.

The opening Par 5 may be one of the best/most scenic holes in Northern California, in fact the entire course is absolutely stunning.

There is some room to land the ball if you miss the fairways but it's certainly not generous. The fairways do slope but not severely enough to put the ball OB. The day we played the greens were pretty slow, and they do vary in size from very large to Pebble Beach tiny!

The staff may be some of the BEST I've ever come across. Everyone was extremely nice, helpful and had a smile. The lodge was perfect as well!

Great time, we will be back!

About as good s it gets!

My second time playing this gem, and to be honest I didn't remember it being this good.
It is mountain golf through and through. Tight tree lined fairways and dramatic elevation changes throughout the course. Walk at your own peril!
Though not long, you certainly cannot grip and rip your way around this layout, precision is more important then length.
The staff could not have been friendlier, and with everyone in their own carts the pace of play was exceptional.
Here is my only fault... The greens were slow, but that's fixed with a good cutting and I'm sure they are not fully staffed due to the pandemic.
It's a long drive for most people but well worth the trek!

Walked

Fun course & OPEN!

Played the course twice now and both times came away very happy with it. First off, they are open! so a BIG THANK YOU! The course is easy to walk, has a host of fun and interesting holes, and the pace of play was great on both occasions.

The course is not long, in fact the only negative is it feels like 18 holes jammed into the space for 15. This means a few holes have greens and tee boxes very close together. The positives far out weigh the negatives however, as I personally love golf courses with variety... and this course has variety! Like long par 3's? Check! Like short par 3's over water? Double check! Want a par 5 a mere mortal can hit in two? Yep! How about a monster 440 yard par 4 with water all along the right side? They have that too! In fact after the 3rd hole, this course really get's comes into it's own!

Give this fun little gen a shot, you won't be disappointed!

Would love to come back

Played in the Golf Channel Am Tour event 1/27.

The course is smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood, but there are no houses on the course.

Weather was perfect & the course was in great shape even though we had heavy rains a couple of nights before.

Fairways were a bit shaggy as they could not be mown due to rain, but the bunkers were perfect, and the greens were about as true as I've ever played.

The course isn't too long (from our tee's) but is certainly challenging, the 18th is a beast of a hole.

Hope this gem is on the schedule next year, can't wait to play it again.

Perfect in every way

Great day, 80 and not a cloud in the sky. The greens and fairways are pristine, no dry spots, not wet spots. They leave the rough dormant in the winter which I like.

Perfect golf day on a perfect course
