ANNOUNCEMENT: Silverthorn GC is going through some minor changes with the championship version of the course coming out soon. After watching many playthroughs of the course being torn apart with scores of -10 under or more, I realized that this course needed a small makeover to play harder and make the shots more fun and challenging. I am not trying to re-do the entire course, I am only fixing some of the outstanding elements that made this course so easy, and I hope that the course will play more difficult because of these changes. The greens have been ramped up to 187’s and additional hills and humps on the putting surfaces have been sculpted to make approach shots harder to get close. Also, there is a new set of tees (BLACK) that have been placed behind the BLUE TEES. The BLACK TEES sit at nearly 7,700 yards. I hope you enjoy this new and more difficult version of Silverthorn GC! Some specific fairway changes to the course: Hole 1 – Tighter fairway on the tee shot. Hole 4 – Fairway has been re-done to be tighter and the grass-mound hazard in the fairway has been removed. Hole 6 – Fairway has been brought in on the right, 3 wood might be a better play. Hole 10 – Fairway has been re-done as well as many tough slopes on the green. Hole 11 – Both fairway sections have been tweaked and made smaller. Hole 12 – The part of fairway near the green has been lowered, funneling any shots off target down the cliffside. Hole 15 – Fairway made tighter. Hole 18 – Fairway made tighter on the right side. I hope you enjoy the championship version when it comes out!
