Course Overview
Silver Creek Golf Club offers a striking public layout that challenges and rewards golfers amid North Carolina’s rolling terrain. Located in Morganton, the 18-hole course is known for its dynamic elevation changes and expansive views stretching across the foothills. This hilly design demands thoughtful shot-making, blending strategic fairways with generous landing areas. Players of varying skill levels will find ample opportunity to test their accuracy while enjoying wide Bermuda fairways and sizeable Bermuda greens that provide a consistent, though firm, putting surface.
The course plays long and inviting, yet the undulating landscape introduces natural hazards, including well-placed bunkers and subtle mounds that influence ball position and stance. While a few traps show signs of wear with gravel patches instead of traditional sand, the overall layout encourages players to embrace the challenge rather than shy away from it. For hikers and walkers, the varied elevation can be demanding but also immersive, giving players a chance to connect with the natural surroundings as they navigate each hole.
Beyond the fairways, Silver Creek's atmosphere benefits from the warm hospitality of ownership and staff, creating an inviting environment that keeps visitors returning. After a round, golfers can relax at Papa’s Grill, where local brews and hearty fare complement the experience without pretension. This pairing of course and clubhouse enhances the overall outing, providing a full day of golf and leisure.
Designed with the golfer seeking a scenic yet testing round in mind, Silver Creek balances challenge with accessibility. Its strategic layout demands precision in some spots but rewards well-placed shots, making it a fitting choice whether you’re aiming to sharpen your skills or unwind with a scenic round. The course’s hillside setting not only shapes gameplay but also frames a memorable golf experience that stays with players long after their last putt drops.
Silver Creek Golf Club is a destination that confronts the player’s tactical approach and stamina, all while offering those majestic mountain views that define the region’s charm.

This ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating is for the overall golfing experience. The course is challenging especially for someone who is use to flatter terrain. The views are fantastic, this course is pleasing to the eyes. The service from everyone I encountered was friendly and accommodating. This is owned by two lovely couples and they love the game, it shows every where. Papa's grill was great, good local brews on tap and the food was good. Not to mention that the owners were tending bar on both visits. The hospitality and service were outstanding. Come and play this course and experience the hospitality and great golf for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I will be back!!

Played 18 yesterday for the first time. Loved the course. Very hilly but scenery was spectacular. Course was in great shape minus some traps that needed some work. Will play there again!

Pristine course!
Phillip Sipe
Love the views and the layout. Greens are large bermuda in good shape but a little hard. The fairways were wide with nice grass but mowed too close. One bunker had gravel in it. Smart move on the bermuda greens that should soften over time. Leave a little more height to fairway grass and a little sand in a couple of traps and would be ideal. Nice course overall and would recommend.

Although the course is a great layout the bunkers need restoration in worst way. Some had no sand only gravel. When I asked about it they are still blaming the hurricane. To expensive to replace even though they charge more than any course around.

Green fees are high but the course is great and folks are friendly! We will be back to play again! The elevation changes and views are breath taking! Highly recommend this course if you are in the area and don't mind paying a bit more to play a very nice public course!
