Played in a Winter 4BBB last weekend & with an entry fee of a tenner you can't go wrong.
The only thing that gets some negative opinions is how a few of the holes run back into each other.You can very easily be walking into incoming tee shots.This mainly applies to the first few holes over the railway & again through 11 -13.
Keep your wits about you!
Overall the course was relatively dry and although the greens had been worked ran true & quick.
On a bright Autumn morning the views are great too!

Silverdale is perfect for an away trip as the train station is right next to the golf course. This course really does suit the tactical golfer as there aren't many opportunities to get out the driver and many holes are treelined. An thoroughly enjoyable test perfect for societies and golfers looking for an easy away day.Reviewer Rating

Played with a visiting society. We were made to feel very welcome upon our arrival and we were given a few tips on how to play the course. Two prizes were offered for the 11th and 18th holes by the course management and this was greatly received. The course may not be to every players likes as it has a lot of blind shots and the use of a playing partner is recommended as a look out. I would give this course full marks as the condition of the fairways and greens are second to none, but I found the layout to be a bit confusing and it has a lot of hills. Other golfers might find this type of course just what they like. It just did not suit my game.

Great little course. Open front nine followed by a tricky tight back nine and keeps you interested for whole round.

Quite open first nine. Back nine are a bit tighter. Greens are the best I've played on this year. A bit of a walk between green and tee on some holes. Don't let this put you off though. Would recommend. Well worth a visit

Excellent course. We'll maintained fairway and greens. Lot of climbing and some plateau greens make it difficult

Great parkland course recently opened to 18 holes from 12. Open all year round and rarely closes.
Some fantastic views from the tees of morecambe bay and leighton moss nature reserve.
Not an easy course even though there are some short holes, the greens are quite small making approach shots very important.
Course in great condition.

I played Silverdale on a perfect late summer evening, taking advantage of the excellent value twilight green fees and holing out on the 18th a little under three hours after starting.
The course was presented in excellent condition with the fairways pleasant to hit from and the greens running true and at a good pace.
Teeing off on the first one is greeted by an interesting fairway tapering to the right, bisected by a line of trees and is a challenging start. With various holes surrounding the opener, I imagine that during busy times this may contribute to a slightly claustrophobic feel, but I am pleased to say that this is not an issue elsewhere.
The next is a short but by no means easy par three with a sloping green, before one crosses under the railway to reach what I believe are the course's newer holes. This side offers some excellent vistas, most notably teeing off at the fourth. The holes on this side could be argued to have less character than the back nine, but are by no means dull. It should be noted that there is considerable green-to-tee distance on this side.
Of these, I enjoyed the fifth, a dogleg with a wall guarding the green and a treacherous slope on the green; the eighth, a driveable par four with another stone wall complicating the equation for the player wishing to lay up; and the ninth, a short par five for which the best play may well be an iron off the tee.
Following the tenth one crosses back under the railway to move onto the original holes, which have a great quirkiness to them and require accurate tee shots and precision approaches to find the putting surfaces.
I'd love to play the twelfth off the white tees, as the straightforward and short par four becomes more of an ask with a blind tee shot to an angled fairway. The thirteenth is the signature hole and is indeed fun to play with a semi-blind tee shot preceding an approach to a green high above, certainly demanding a towering wedge shot to hold the green. Missing the green here would make for a very interesting short game challenge.
The next two holes descend, with two accurate shots required at fifteen. The following two holes make good use of the undulating ground, the seventeenth fairway certainly testing one's ability to play off uneven lies.
The final hole appears straightforward on paper; short and downhill, it is no more than a flick with a wedge, but the green is guarded by run-offs on both sides and an up-and-down from the rough is by no means guaranteed.
This is, in fact, a feature of many of the holes on the course. Although not littered with bunkers, the short game at Silverdale provided a challenging but not- insurmountable test, with the rough challenging one's striking and use of the higher-lofted clubs.
I certainly enjoyed my time on the course and I am eager to return. The second nine in particular is very fun to play, featuring many of the original holes. It is a testament to the skills of Colt that the original holes are fitted in a small piece of land and among rocky areas, and have a great quirkiness to them without being excessively so.
If you are in search of a fun test which challenges in particular the precision of one's iron play, while also offering fantastic views in most directions, then I'd certainly recommend adding Silverdale to your to-play list.
