Silverthorn Country Club

4550 Golf Club Ln, Spring Hill, FL, 34609

Silverthorn Country Club is a semi-private golf club at the center of a gated residential community in Spring Hill. The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Joe Lee and opened in 1994. Members receive preferred tee times, while a limited number of outside players are welcome, so visitors can book through the club or its online tee-time listings. The course plays from about 5,100 to 6,900 yards depending on the tees, which allows players of different abilities to find a suitable test. The practice facilities include a driving range, putting and chipping areas, and a golf academy with a teaching professional. The club also offers a pool, tennis and billiards for its members, and a dress code asks golfers to wear collared shirts and Bermuda-length shorts, with no denim. Food and drink are part of the club's appeal. The restaurant and bar recently changed hands and now operate as The Club at Silverthorn, and the club advertises dining, weddings and special events in its banquet and meeting space. Reviewers have praised the bar service and the menu. Silverthorn sits in Spring Hill, in Hernando County, and golf-club membership is billed separately from the surrounding neighborhood's association fees. Because the club is semi-private, access and tee times depend on the day and the member schedule, so call ahead for conditions and availability. The club is at 4550 Golf Club Lane. Call (352) 799-2600 or visit silverthornclub.net. An alternate number, (352) 799-4653, is listed by some golf sites.
