This course is great! Absolutely a fun layout; tight and challenging, but not gimmicky. We played on Sunday the 7th of December with a 10:45 tee time and finished in just over 4 hrs. For the price, I have never played a better course. If you enjoy the combination of golf and nature with as minimal of housing as possible, then this course may be for you.

I played this course on Saturday the 26th of September, and the course has gone to hell. This track used to be one of my favorite tracks in Southern Ca. and I would play it 1-2 times a month including a 120 mile roudtrip drive. I don't know what has happened, but the new owners seem to be putting more money into a new entry gate and statue then into the course itself. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens where hammered; it was very dissapointing to see. I'm just hoping that this is one of those "Things sometimes have to get worse in order to get better" type situations, because if not, I don't see this course maintaining a shelf life for years to come.

I played Silver Rock on 12/8/2006 and was not dissapointed. The desert has become my favorite place to play, and up to this point, I would say Silver Rock has jumped up to the top of my list. We played from the blues and the course was playing at longer than 7,100 yds.(tips are 7,500+), but the course does provide 6 or 7 seven different box selections, so it can be enjoyed by all skill levels. First and foremost, the scenery is breathtaking. The course runs along the base of the mountains which gives it a unique intimate natural feel unlike any other course that I have personally played.
This course is a difficult course, and you definitley need to bring your "A" game to score well, but it's fair. You won't encounter gimicks to create difficulty, it's layed out well, and just makes you put together good shots in order to beat it.
If you're planning a golf outing in the desert or just looking for a solid round; make Silver Rock a must...
