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.

Ahead of schedule

The hard work the grounds crew does all year around is evident! I’ve played all 3 public courses on Staten Island and “The Lake” is head and shoulders above the other two which are run bye American golf. Greens have grass already and scheduled to be airated soon which can only help with new growth. It’s challenging but fair track. Gets tight in spots and wet on back but considering it still March you really can’t complain. Keep up the hard work, thanks

Great overall value!

Silver Lake was a fun, well maintained course with friendly staff and a nice clubhouse. We enjoyed our round, however the course was very crowded and pace of play was an issue - we waited on nearly every hole, and our round took over 5 hours. Overall, I look forward to returning to Silver Lake and hope that in the future rounds will be slightly more spread out to encourage faster play.
