Silverrock has five sets of tees so you can play the set that matches your ability, but can be stretched out to 7,500 yards. It is great to be able to play the same course that the Pro's play in the Bob Hope Classic. It is fun to see where you hit the ball compared to the Pro's. It also gives you a true sense of how good they really are.
The fairways are better then most greens that you play, so the only excuse for poor play is the golfers ability!
Silverrock also has a great practice facilities. Carts have GPS system so you can play faster and it also shows you where the golfers in front of you are so you know when you can hit or when to wait. A true golfing experience. Well worth the time and money!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
