Silver Lake Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Silver Lake Golf Course sits along Staten Island's North Shore, offering a scenic and challenging layout that is one of the five boroughs' best-kept secrets. The course has a classic layout with postage stamp-sized greens and narrow fairways. At just over 6,000 yards from the back tees, the golf course appears shorter than it plays. The tight layout demands accuracy throughout especially on the lengthier holes, of which there are several. The course offers interesting risk-reward opportunities and holes 12 through 14 are considered by locals the "Amen Corner" of the North. The entire layout will test your shot-making abilities. In addition to the challenging round, Silver Lake is known for having consistently excellent conditions with some of New York's best greens, which is why it has garnered a strong following among local players.

Hidden gem
Played Silver Lake for the first time in probably 15 years only because I live in Queens. Took the ride to Staten Island to play because it was the Five Borough Golf Club's course of the month. Had a great time with my golf buds playing this short and challenging course. The staff in the.club house greeted us with a super friendly hello. We were early for breakfast but had some coffee. The clubhouse attendant was a friendly chap and the starter was as well. The course was in excellent shape. The holes were all very different from each other, some short but with tricky greens. The longer holes had some narrow fairways. I managed a 90 but felt that I left a number of shots on the course. We stayed for lunch.and my Guinness was nice and cold. It went well with my chicken and cheese quesadilla. Oth at a very reasonable price.
What can I say, and interesting and challenging course, friendly staff, with good food and cold beer. I recommend you put this course on your play list. It was worth the trip.

greens
they are always doing something to the greens first it was air rated then fully covered in pesticide the this week they where slicing them, machine and blades on it and it was just punching the greens also rough is too high we are not pros
Dangerous
First time playing the course this year… played it one time a year ago.
Either I didn’t remember or the cart paths have deteriorated significantly.
Simply awful.
Be careful when driving the cart . Very careful.
It’s June but with so many leaves it’s like fall golf. Makes it difficult to find the ball, even in the fairway.
Extremely difficult in the rough, which is unforgiving
With those few negatives, it is still a course I would recommend
Management
Decent public course. Decently kept. Pro Shop often not open on weekdays.
They do an unbelievably poor job managing the pace of play when the school kids hold practice. Many rounds have been spent backed up behind 3 groups.
Twice I’ve showed up early for my tee time and been unable to start on time because they “have a school bus full of kids coming”. It is extremely frustrating.
The otherwise kind staff is extremely rude in these situations.
They have a chipping green which is nice to kill the time you spend waiting to play. Not all bad.
Fair course
Green fast when I played, fair everything else definitely best course on island
Downfall of the Lake
Course conditions were fair at best, aerated greens with too much sand, I could drive with less potholes in Beirut than the cart paths which seems to get worse each passing year Hiw about some effort into the putting green and how about trying to figure out some kind of a hitting net area for warm up On a positive note, the carts were very nice To charge full value for this course in its current condition is ridiculous, it’s convenient for me but not much else, cross the tiver to NJ for much better value
