Great views. Very nostalgic surroundings.

Teed off at 8:30. The pace of play was wonderful. This course doesn't get as much recognition as the South course. I think it is more challenging than the South course. The greens were in great shape. John and the staff were very cordial. Overall it was a great day. I wish I would have scored better. I'll be back.

Great views.

Played as a twosome. Joined up with two other singles. The staff were very friendly. We were able to get off early. The temp was 112. The course was in good shape for summertime in the desert. The greens rolled well. We played at a good pace. Some waiting but not bad. I always enjoy playing this course. We will be back. Great day.

Deep rough

The rough and fairways were in need of mowing. The mowers were on the course mowing the fairways. The recent rain must have put them behind on mowing. The greens were good and putted well. Most of the holes are pretty straight. Some fairways are a little tight. You must hit your tee shot straight. The course could use a little TLC.

Good Layout

The girl who picked our bags was very pleasant. It was 107 outside temp. Course was not crowded. We played at a nice pace. The yardage markers were on the sprinkler heads only. Hard to find at times. The par three's were not marked for yardage on the tee boxes, had to rely on scorecard yardage.
All in all a great course, We'll be back.

Thanks

Greens were extremely fast. Nice.

It was a shotgun start. The gentleman behind the counter was very cordial. We were not on the tee sheet. He had to look us up on GolfNow info. A small hassle, but handled professionally. We were called to our hole on time. It was a windy day in the valley, but really enjoyed the course and the day. The course was in great shape. Hope to play the course again.

Excellent condition !

I couldn't believe we were the only ones on the course. The course is in the best shape of any course in the Valley that I've played this summer. Golfers are missing out on a great track and great value for this time of year. We will be coming back soon. Greens putted true and fast. The course is lush and green. Really in great shape.

Undulating greens.

This course was very challenging for a resort course. The Pete Dye design has wood pillars around the waters edge and on some tee boxes. It reminded me of a Florida style course, here in the desert. We had a great day. Great value for the money. The course was in decent condition for this time of year in the desert.

Felt welcome.

Course was in great shape considering it's triple digit temps here in the Desert. The staff was great. Plenty of free bottled water available. Marshall's carry water with them for your convenience. Very nice. I will be back.

One of the best layouts in the Valley.

This is transition time of year in the Desert. Rye grass is dying out, Bermuda grass is coming in. With that being the case, the course was in great shape. This course is on my regular play list. I really enjoy playing this course.

Quiet surroundings. Gorgeous views.

My first time on course. We were paired up with a couple who play this course a lot. They were a tremendous help with directions on each hole. Without their help it could have been a long day. We had a half dozen Bighorn sheep come within five feet of us. Very tame, very cool. SilverRock was well worth the trip. I look forward to playing it again.

Great views. Greens putted true.

Starter Jack was very informative. This was our first time on course. The course was in great shape. The wind played havoc with some shot selections. Otherwise it was a great round. Would like to go back. One of the true Desert Courses in the valley.

Fast greens

The course was in top condition. The ranger stopped and asked us how the pace of play was, that meant a lot. We moved along well. No waiting, even considering a frost delay in the morning. Our tee time was backed up, but did not affect our pace of play. Nice job of managing tee times. Good job Woodhaven !

Great layout

The course has some narrow fairways. Tough driving holes. The par threes were long (200 yds ). The greens were in good shape putted well.
