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.

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.

Slow pace

First time playing course.

Had read prior reviews on the slow pace of play.

Played on a Wed. Was hoping pace of play would not be as big of an issue on a wed.

Pace of play terrible Had to leave after 9 holes because I couldn’t take the pace any longer. A lot of the problem was larger groups of hackers.

Course was good otherwise. Greens in good shape.

Would not play here again due to slow play..,,

Also would not refund 9 holes….
