Silver Lake Golf Course
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.

All the burnt tee boxes and greens have been fixed and it looks great
Ok course, basic
The course is ok and has a few interesting holes but otherwise is nothing exceptional. It does have a number of elevations and big drops. The holes are otherwise simple straight back and forth. The greens are decent with some movement and in good shape. I could lean between a 2 and a 3; Not bad if you are right nearby but not worth a trip to play.
Good conditions for end of September
With a coarse that gets as much use as it does, overall the course is in very good shape. Really can’t do much with the par 3 tee boxes but the grounds crew are working really hard. If only played treated the course with a little more respect.
Also, pace of play can sometimes get a little bogged down on the back nine also. The rangers try and move the foursomes along as best they can.
Still one of my favorite course to play.
Great once again !
Even in the midst of teen resurfacing, the course played to its strength requiring solid shots to the greens and good putting throughout.
Awesome NYC Public Course!
This was my favorite 18 hole NYC Public Course I have played this year. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We got great weather (which always helps), but I was very pleasantly surprised by the course condition compared to some peer courses. There were some rough patches in the fairways that were getting re-seeded and clearly being worked on a bit, but barely affected my game. The course was really fun to play and had a great mix of some difficult tight fairways, as well as wide open play. The greens were pretty easy (though a bit quick) for the most part, but had some major movement on a few holes. Would highly recommend checking this place out, the best value for the money of NYC Public Courses I have been able to book for an early morning weekend round.
Poor Course
It is too crowded. They need the course rangers to go out and make sure people are keeping up pace of play. Quit after the 9th hole because it took so long. It is also an $82 round for very average conditions. Not worth it.
Slow Play ?
I booked a late afternoon tee time to experience the "slow play" I continue to read about in reviews about the course. I started at 3:25 and finished by 6:45 , ordering a delicious Texas burger and Heineken on the Veranda . I won't say slow play is a myth since we know one group can kill the pace and I've seen that but overall the pace is good here .
STAY AWAY unless you have 6+ hours to spare
EGREGIOUSLY overcrowded. Took 3 hours to play nine holes. On the third hole, we had to wait for three full groups to tee off. When we asked after why they don’t space the tee times further apart, everyone who worked there just said “I’m not in charge of that, the manager is.” Of course, manager was nowhere to be found. They didn’t offer any refund. Also, the course itself is a firing range. Spent the three hours constantly ducking to avoid getting hit. Terrible experience, Don’t go.
