Visited Silvermere earlier this week for the 1st time in around 10 years. Was pleased to find the holes across the road have now matured into a good set of holes. The pace of play was good and it was fair value at £22.50. The greens were not lightning fast (which public course is?) but fair and the general presentation of the course was good. The 17th and 18th holes over the lake offer great fun and a real challenge, and the need for a well earned beer

Having read an earlier review about a burger and a beer being £14, I was more than a little skeptical about entering the bar afterwards, as I was paying! Glad to say this was not the case and it was nice to see others taking the 18th on with a pint in hand from the terrace.

Lovely course for the first 9 holes but a bit average and very open for the rest, except the last 2 the greens are soft and feel over played, they do not run true, however overall its pretty good and for the price I think excellent value, we played one sunday after 1600 and it was only £25 for me and my son whi is 14, thats a bargain. If the greens were cut more and not as over played it would rate more highly for me.

played there yesterday, the first time for three years and two days after coming across a well-maintained darenth valley course in shoreham, kent), and was disappointed with the slow, wooly greens, the lack of stakes indicating water hazards .. one in particular in front of the 1st, another on the 11th and a dank pond just on the length of a reasonable drive on one of the longer holes of the back nine(14th perhaps). the map on on the back of the scorecard is little help and only a few of the tee markers showed the layout of particular holes. the bunkers could do with a bit more sand, too.

very corporate in everything else they do (you can only leave the club shop out of a different door from the one you went in as they want people walking around there in clockwise fashion!.. the need to register for a privilege card etc), they would do well to hire a few more greenkeepers and start indulging in a bit of old-fashioned TLC.

First six and the last two were good holes, but i won't be rushing back...

As an occasional visitor to Silvermere I'm pleased to report that the greens are hugely improved since the spring. This makes the green fee worthwhile as they now represent a proper test of ability.

Previous comments about the expensicve clubhouse grub are justified, by I see thay are offering sandwiches etc at the starters hut.

If you into yoru golf, you will appreciate a course for its layout, its condition and the natural beauty of the surroundings. Silvermere is outstanding in its layout and the beautiful tree-lined course. The condition of the course, whilst not bad, if it was improved would make this one of the best courses in the county.

The holes are tree-lined, interestingly shaped with many dog-legs. The layout of the holes and their features make this a much longer course than the 6404 yardage would suggest. I would not hesitate in playing silvermere again on teh sunday special £26 after 2pm...and would recommend it to other golfers at this rate.

One thing to beware of is the expensive clubhouse for food and drinks. Burger and beer cost £14.40!

Played here yesterday (10/4/07) the weather was superb and there hadn't been any rain for a good few weeks. So why are the greens always so bad everytime i play here? the greens are bald, don't run true and due to it being a public course with inconsiderate players there are hundreds of pitchmarks on every green.

The round was fairly slow but not as bad as usual.

But i do still like to play silvermere occasionally despite everything i have mentioned because it has some great holes (17th/18th obviously being the best two) and for a special £25 a round wasn't bad. Usually they charge ridiculous prices, but whilst they are filling every tee time you can't blame them.

Great clubhouse/nice food/lovely garden to watch the golfers chipping over the water to finish on the 18th green/driving range/ ood but expensive club shop are all other good points.
