Great Course well worth a visit

Silkstone is a great course for days out, not sure I would like to play it every week but having said that it's well worth a visit, the clubhouse is welcoming, excellent practice facilities in different parts of the course for chipping and putting. The driving range is easily accessible too...

The day I played it played really long with no run at all, therefore making it a slog but I was really impressed with the layout, no 2 holes the same and sometimes it got a bit disorienting looking at adjacent holes wondering if you'd already played them...

Would I recommend yes I would, think it's an ideal venue for societies and trips away...

Fantastic Course

I'd seen a number of reviews that said that this was a course worth visiting, and the worry is always that it can't quite match expectation. That wasn't the case here. The only disappointment today was the way I played it.

Tees, fairways and greens were in excellent condition, and the course has a lot of interesting and scenic holes to go with it. This isn't a flat course, so be prepared for a number of climbs, but it is worth the effort.

The fairways are mostly fairly forgiving, but there are a number of holes where par will be a very good score, and the course is certainly not a pushover.

My one tip, other than play here, is the big lake in front of the 11th green. I didn't see it until the same time my ball did.
