I played here 7 years ago when the old clubhouse was in use. Nice to see things progressing. The course was ok 7 years ago, but it has developed in to a really great and enjoyable course - is one of my favourites now.
It would be a lie to say that Silves is anything but a challenging course, but that doesn't mean players of various abilities can't enjoy this picturesque and imaginative layout.
Silves is the type of course that you can probably only fully appreciate if you're a reasonably accomplished player. That's not to say a beginners can't enjoy a round here. The first-class conditioning, wonderful scenery and panoramic vistas from the high points of this undulating course add a real sense of occasion that players of any ability can appreciate.
