Silverado was re-designed by Johnny Miller. Miller has stated that he’s not that great of an architect, but I’ve always found his courses very enjoyable. Most of the Tour pros I’ve talked to like the course, although the greens can be a little frustrating as there are a lot of saddles and crowns which are always tough reads.
Most of this course is about ballstriking, particularly from 175-200 yards. Driving is a factor, although not a huge one. But, you don’t have to be long off the tee to be effective off the tee at Silverado.
Unfortunately, the last critical hole is the par-4, 465 yard 13th hole. There’s not much to the hole, but it’s fairly birdie-able and bogey-able. The biggest difficulty of the hole is the length combined with only about 52% of the field finds the fairway.
Projected Winning Score: -16

It's a tough and cool choice for a child to choose to play professional golf! Choosing to become a professional golfer, like any professional athlete, is a tough training process. Adhering to the sport of golf requires a lot of investment in the early stage, both spiritually and materially. Maybe you need a rangefinder, for example, and another brand of Caddytek CaddyView V2 Rangefinder will do.
