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.

Silver Lake GC
Staten Island has 4 public golf courses and without a doubt Silver Lake is the best maintained. The owner, Doug Johnstone (who could best be described as the head green sleeper) keeps the course in great shape. He and his crew of men and women are constantly working to give the golfing public the best conditions to enjoy a round. Also, the staff in the pro shop and restaurant are great especially Pat and Ralph in the pro shop and Ginger in the restaurant.

Great conditions
Pace was a tad slow but the starter sent us off the front nine again and we didn't wait much after that. Greens rolled more like August than December. Grounds crew doing a great job and friendly staff, can't complain about Winter golf.

Hello, Tdhite. Thanks so much for your review. We hope to see you again soon!
I forgot to ask . . . .
Where did you import the wild turkeys from ? I do not remember seeing them on the course previously . It was nice to see near #6 hole. .
Hi Curtis4737853, thanks for visiting our course! The wild turkeys have been in Silver Lake Park and the reservoir for a few years now, but they just realized the grass is greener at Silver Lake Golf Course! We don’t mind because they have no adverse affects to the turf. We are so happy you liked it!
