Nice course, but greens were variable, some with weeds and others a bit bobbly. However that didn't detract from an enjoyable day, and the 19th is good. we are all med - high handicap. There is no driving range on site and the putting green is a bit of a joke.
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.
