Everything was in great shape and most areas were freshly/recently mowed. Greens were very smooth.

This place is always in good shape and the staff is friendly. If you enjoy a beer with your round this course also has some of the best prices compared to others we have played.

Husband and I played the course on a day after it had rained the night before and the morning of our afternoon round. The course was still a little wet so it was cart path only for the round, even though there were several who either didn't get that info or just didn't care. The round was enjoyable despite the oppressive humidity of that day. The pro shop staff was super friendly and explained to us that going from #3 to #4 is quite the trip and that we would not be back at the clubhouse until we finished our round. He was not kidding!!! Number four is fairly easy to find if you're a white or blue tee player. For those of us who play gold or red, it was a little more difficult. If you fall into the red or gold group, just keep going down, down, down the hill to the bottom. Once you're down there you'll play 4-8 before you climb back up for #9. After number 9 you will still be way out on the course. From #9 and #10 you will be able to see Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery. Quite an experience to hear a 21 gun salute and then TAPS while playing a round. Once you finish #12 you'll cross the street somewhat headed back to the clubhouse.
One thing we would have liked to have was a better idea of where we were hitting. There are several blind holes and having a better understanding of how far the corners were from the tee box or how much was needed to carry certain areas would have been nice. The only place we had an idea was from a sprinkler on the long par 5 #14. The sprinkler just short of our tee shots said "RIP IT!"
Overall we had a great experience and look forward to another round at Ft. Sam.

Played with a nice rate from Golf Now. Husband and I were placed with a golfer of significantly higher ability than us. Justin was a very nice guy and was helpful to us as he had experience playing the course.
The course was in excellent shape, particularly for the lack of rain the area had had. But, the course got quite the downpour as we were still playing. We hung around and were able to finish our round, albeit a little soggy when we were done. We made sure to go cart-path only for our final few holes so as not to cause any issues on the course.
The beer cart girl was friendly and around enough to keep us supplied. We weren't thrilled with the beer prices, but they were comparable to other courses we have played.
We were very happy with our time at Silverhorn. The pro-shop was friendly and we were not made to feel out of place. We recommend this beautiful course to anyone.

The lack of rain in the area had been very hard on this course. It was bone dry. It was very hard to follow the fairways as most of the time they were the same color/same shape as the rough. We hope to go back again in the spring or fall or possibly a summer round if the rain keeps up for a little while. The course has potential, we were just there at a bad time of year.
The people running the course were great and the clubhouse/pro-shop is very nice. The course layout was explained to us since it's a nine-hole course with varying tee boxes/pars on some holes. Those pre-round directions were very helpful.
The county is dry so if you like a beer or two on your round you will have to bring your own. They will be happy to sell you sodas or water and I think they had ice available but am not sure since we had our own.

This course is worth the money if you get a Hot Rate deal. Full price is too much for the current conditions, but they are working on the greens. Some of the tee boxes for ladies are not in great condition, either. The fairways are great, and we enjoy playing here, but think their regular rate is too high for the overall shape of the course at this time. As long as we can get Golf Now rates, we will be happy to keep showing up and working on our games.
