Nicely kept course

Played with my and it was a hot day. Played entire round without waiting at any hole. Never saw anybody behind us. Course was in excellent shape. Greens were a little slow but also in excellent shape. I liked the course layout.

Kudos to the course superintendent. I thought I was on a course that was preparing for some sort of pga tournament. No exaggeration. You owe yourself a round here if you're looking for a new track. Hidden gem.

Silver Ridge

Course was in decent condition considering the summer drought. Ground very hard in most places and some bare areas. Greens were ok. I give the grounds keeper and crew credit for not losing the battle.
