Silverstone Golf Course.Silverstone Golf Course of Las Vegas, Nevada is located about 15 minutes North of the Las Vegas strip. By cab, it takes approximately 25 minutes to get there ($25 ride).
Silverstone Golf Course Pro Shop.
As you can see from the picture, the Silverstone Pro Shop is a gorgeous building erected at the foot of the mountains. When you walk in you will immediately feel like a VIP. The clubhouse is very well put together, is very clean, and is a perfect beginning to a great golf experience.
The pro shop, like the entirety of the clubhouse, is well put together and inspires great feelings for a great round. The pro shop staff is courteous and friendly, and the gear is relatively good, though like most pro shops, a little overpriced. Golf on a Friday afternoon in season was $180, about par for the course (pun intended) for a course of this caliber at this time of year.
Practice Facility.
Like most Las Vegas golf courses, Silverstone Golf Course has a very nice practice facility. As I mentioned before, I like my Las Vegas golf course practice facilities to have natural grass, and this one does. It is well put together, is big enough to handle the maximum load the course can throw at it, and it functioned well. I have no complaints about the practice facilities.
Silverstone Golf Course Review.
This is a course I'll remember for quite some time. Made up of 27 holes (actually 28, which I'll talk about in a minute), a Desert, Mountain, and Valley nine holes, Silverstone provides a great golfing experience. As the Silverstone scorecard shows, length is abundant here if you want it, the slope rating is primed for challenging golf, and the desert is abundant.
The greens, the part of a golf course that can make it or break it from my perspective, are very well maintained, and nice and speedy (like I like them). They are firm but fair, and the approaches into them can be precarious if you don't approach them from the right angle.
My favorite hole on the course is the valley #2 (pictured here). As you can see, it is a relatively short par 3, but there is trouble everywhere. This is exactly the type of hole I like - there are no bail-out areas, there is water, and it's picturesque. And I'm pretty sure I parred this hole!Overall I'd rate this course a 9 out of 10. It has everything I like in a golf course: great facilities; great practice facilities; great aesthetics; fast greens; and challenging holes. I'd definitely recommend you give it a go the next time you're in Las Vegas.
