It's said that you have to be a casino "high roller" to get all the customer service perks Las Vegas has to offer, but at Silverstone Golf Club everyone is treated like a king. From the time you arrive in the valet parking lot to the time your bags are loaded back into your vehicle, the employees at Silverstone make you feel like someone special.
"It's something that I feel Las Vegas has lost sight of a little bit," said Jim Stanfill, Silverstone's director of sales and marketing. "We realize that customer service and business go hand in hand. It's the old adage 'do to others as you would want them to do to you.'"
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 the 34,000-square-foot clubhouse was completed in March 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.
Silverstone's Mountain course features the longest par-5 in Nevada. Hole No. 3 plays 653 yards from the back tees and 530 yards from the forward tees. To add to the hole's difficulty is the amount of water that comes into play about 150 yards from the green.
And in keeping with a Vegas theme, Silverstone has a 28th hole to decide any wagers that were left unsettled after 18 holes. The money-deciding hole is located just outside the clubhouse and is about 90 yards completely over water.
