Silverthorn Homes for Sale, Brooksville FL

About Silverthorn

Silverthorn sits along State Road 50 between Spring Hill and Brooksville, on the hilly Brooksville Ridge, and its mailing addresses often read Spring Hill even though the community is commonly listed under Brooksville. It is a gated community of roughly 800 single-family homes and attached villas built between 1997 and 2011. There are no age restrictions. The amenity center includes a clubhouse, a fitness center, a ballroom, a craft room, a junior Olympic pool, tennis and basketball courts and walking trails, plus a secured lot for RV and boat storage, which is a practical perk many golf communities do not offer. Tradition's Bar and Grille at the club serves residents and golfers. One recent resident review raised concerns about deferred maintenance and reserve funding, so buyers should request the association's budget, reserve study and meeting minutes during inspection. The hilly terrain gives many homes views across the fairways that are hard to find in flatter parts of Tampa Bay.

The golf at Silverthorn

Silverthorn Country Club is an 18-hole, par 72 championship course designed by Joe Lee, an architect known for many Florida layouts. It plays about 6,800 yards from the back tees with a slope of 131, and it is known for its 96 bunkers and a mix of wide, links-style holes and tighter, tree-lined fairways that take advantage of the ridge's elevation. The club is semi-private and open to the public seven days a week, 364 days a year. Memberships come in individual and household plans with annual dues, and members get free green fees, 14-day advance booking and unlimited range balls. A Legacy membership is offered with limits on monthly plays. The practice area includes bunkers and chipping areas, and lessons are offered to members.
