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.

Ranger bad patterns needs training and inflexible to unique situations

Ranger targets players from close the club house rarely doing the job and inflexible to unique situations with individual players. Only played half the round left in deep frustration and felt highly disrespected - ruined my day. I sent an anonymous email to management - one got kicked back because email box was full no response from the other manager. Going back this Friday with my brother hoping for a peaceful round. I will let you know

Robbery

Way too much cash for a course like that. And they beat you over the head for carts. And why is there no 9 hole option after 9am. Dumb

No supervu

Paid $85.00 for two green fees and then $45.00 for a cart. Intended to play 18 but left the course after nine holes given a husband and wife who were giving lessons to their daughter. That is fine but Dad teed off on every hole when I & my girlfriend were halfway up the fairway. He hit into us on each hole. I spoke to him twice with no response so I will figure he not only did not know golf etiquette but also no English. The front nine was completely backed up with nine holes taking three hours .

Slowwwwwww

For every foursome that comes here there is only 1 decent player, the other 3 that tagged along came with their father’s golf bag and a cooler full of beer. The course is not overly challenging but for people who are not avid golfers this place will lead to a ton of lost balls and a slow pace of play. With a 20 minute delay to my tee time, it took about 3 hours to do 9 holes. Every hole will have a foursome still waiting to tee off in front of you. I have never played a slower round of golf in my life. For $95 (including cart) NO THANK YOU silver lake!

Terrible Place

My first time experience at Silver Lake was the absolute worst experience a golf course could possibly offer. I’m a big golfnow guy (1.6 handicap) and have played over 70 courses in NJ and NY (public and private). Playing here left me astonished, and the thought of calling the police came to mind when I had an unusual encounter. First off, not only are the rates ridiculous, but the track makes no sense, is dangerous, and is squished together. We waited 20 minutes on the first tee, were mocked at by the starters, and then cut off by a golf camp with 10 KIDS. Not only is this dangerous for children but destroys our entire round off the bat. Luckily, we were able to get ahead of them and only waited 15-20 mins per tee box. 2 HOURS BEFORE DUSK and (on the 14th hole) we were approached by the rudest and most disrespectful starter known to man, and told that the course is closed and time to wrap it in. Never in my 20 years of golfing have I been told to “wrap it up”. It’s either you pay for 9 or you pay for 18. This is absolutely ridiculous and the course should be ashamed for charging any price near 70 dollars. Additionally, the starter physically put his hands on my bag and through it off the cart.
