Silverstone Golf Club

Each guest is treated like a "high roller" at Silverstone Golf Club. From valet parking, to club and bag attendants, each player feels as though they're at their own country club for a day.

Along with the superb customer service, Silverstone serves up three excellent nine-hole courses in its Mountain, Desert and Valley tracks. The rye-grass fairways are well manicured and the bent-grass greens are fast.

The golf course opened in June 2001 and each nine was designed by Robert Cup. The 34,000-square-foot clubhouse was completed in March of 2002 in time for the club to host the Celebrity Players Tour. Silverstone is also the site of the only Golf Digest School in Nevada and has hosted the National Public Links Qualifying Tournament.

Another way the club makes its mark in the Vegas area golf scene is the Mountain course's third hole featuring the longest par 5 in Nevada. It plays 653 yards from the back tees and is still 530 yards from the forward tees. To add to the hole's difficulty is the amount of water coming into play 150 yards from the green.

And in keeping with a Vegas theme, Silverstone has added a 28th hole, designed to decide any wagers left unsettled after 18 or 27 holes of play. The money-deciding hole is located just outside the clubhouse and is about 90 yards completely over water, so winners must cool their nerves in order to earn their pennies.
