This course was probably in the least best condition of all the courses we played but still very enjoyable. Staff and facilities were all first class but again we’d challenge the slope and course ratings as been much to low. They are very difficult courses to play for the mid to high handicapped golfer, who just don’t receive enough strokes.
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.
