| Review: |
Silver Creek is a field I am proud to call my own...constantly building new courses and expanding their current fields.
I'm going to be perfectly honest here. I just got a job here reffing. All the courses are geared toward rec play, with the exception of a a hyperball style tire town.
Klayton (feild owner) is a great guy and he definately does whatever he can to help you out, which is pretty hard to find these days.
Paint prices are pretty high, but you get pretty decent paint as standard (unupgraded paint (PMI Stingers). Team practice night may be coming up soon, so I'm assuming paint prices will drop for those nights (likely going to be on a weekday night).
HPA and CO2 fills are free with play and there's no field fees.
There is no HPA compressor, but right now there aren't many people who use it so the tank stays pretty full for a while.
Like I said, most of the feilds are geared toward rec-play (sometimes it's nice to play the game instead of the sport). Theres a huge castle, which is a pretty new addition to the course, small woods field, huge town (a fan favourite), a small three house course, huge bale feild (closer to tourney play here too), Tire town, trenches, and a newly added airball field. Eight courses in all.
The proshop is growing bloody quick, and there's been talk of building a new splatshack to house the larger proshop. They sell blowback markers including Piranhas, spyders, tippmans, and a few starter kits too. Squeegies, a few upgrades, one or two air tanks, a few masks and assorted trinkets also line the shelves. The proshop is very moderately priced.
This place has firepits and barbeques to grill up some meat after the game and you don't have to pay for any wood/propane used, which is pretty great.
Another thing...their washrooms are outhouse...just one.
This place would get a perfect 10 but I dropped it down to 9 because of paint rpices (which aren't entirely aweful) and slight under-developement (no compressor, small ariball) and it's not too hard to get around either problem.
