Other than the Gnats

Course was lush and in good shape. Thick rough, fairways overall good shape and greens were smooth and rolled with good speed. If it weren’t for the bothersome gnats that wouldn’t leave us alone it would be 4.5 stars.

8 Minute tee times are Inexcusable with the current golf explosion

Saturday afternoon 1:16 tee time and the course is full of golfers on a cold and extremely windy day. Had to wait on every hole and finished at 6:15pm on a short and easily walkable course. 5 hours! The problem? 8 minute tee times!! Pace of play is one of the 3 most important criteria in choosing a golf course. Will not return here because ownership is so greedy that they reverted back to 8 minute tee times from the Covid 10 minute ones. With the golf explosion (and many new, bad and slow golfers coming out) that makes every course completely full and leads to slower play. I play courses with 10 minute tee times and pace of play is better. No excuse for 5 hour rounds other than greedy owners stacking the tee sheet 8 minutes apart. Also no ranger to try and keep the pace moving. Also inexcusable on a weekend with a full tee sheet.

Hello. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. Our team at the course will continue to look for ways to improve pace of play. We highly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for playing Silver Lake and we hope to see you at the course again soon.

Turtles move faster

First time playing. From the first tee layout looks great and overall there are some interesting holes. That being said teed off at 9:20 and finished at 2:50! 5.5 hours to play-Inexcusable! Slow play is #1 reason won’t return here or other golf courses that can’t space times and manage the slow players. No ranger and no beverage person.
