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.

Golfer Reviews
Cool course, slow play
Thought the course layout was unique and surprisingly challenging - exceeded expectations. Greens in good shape. Unfortunately, the pace of play was atrocious. 5.5 hour round in total. I understand this was a public course on a Friday afternoon, but a round should not take that long. On hole 5, there were three groups waiting on the tee box at one point. It sped up a little after that, but then slowed down again on the back. Would only recommend early and not on weekends.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Silver Lake Golf Course.

Good bang for your buck
Enjoyed the course and I will be back. I’d recommend an earlier tee time. I played mid afternoon and it took close to 6 hours. We waited at hole 5 for 20 minutes.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to having you back again soon. Silver Lake Golf Course thanks you!
Good conditions and greens!
Course was in good shape compared to many others in NYC. Greens were firm and ran true. Only “complaint” is very bumpy cart paths, which honestly wasn’t an issue for me but was something a playing partner mentioned multiple times. Worth the ferry trip out to Staten Island, especially on a nice day!
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff. Thanks for visiting us!
Torture
Played here yesterday. 5 1/2 hour round. I know people pay money and want to play golf but taking 3 tee shots on every hole just isn’t right. There were no rangers to be found. Course is in decent shape, better than any other course on Staten Island, but $77 to play and add to that a 5 1/2 hour round makes it torture. Go to jersey.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Thank you for visiting us! We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon!
Standard close to the city public trek
Greens were slower than molasses. Par 3 teeboxes were mauled (played in Sept to be fair). We teed off super early which was great because the seniors were out in FORCE by 8 AM
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Silver Lake Golf Course. We hope to see you again in the future.
Worst course
The worst place ever. Lady checking us in was super rude and clueless.
Teed off an hour late. Everyhole is on top of each other, almost got hit couple of time from next hole over. I dont know why it has 4 stars, I would give negative if I could.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback and will pass your comments along to the staff. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

First time at Silver Lake
Overall this was a good course. The pace of play was exceptionally slow, but had a good time regardless. Definitely have to be careful of cross play from other tee boxes into your fairway and vice versa. On at least five of the holes I had a ball land within 15 yards of my game.

ONLY GOOD PUBLIC COURSE ON STATEN ISLAND
Thank you for keeping this place in great shape and not using covid as an excuse to let the place go to crap like others. Played at south shore today and it was complete GARBAGE. latourette, I drove past and actually laughed at how terrible of condition it was in. DO NOT PLAY ANYWHERE ELSE ON STATEN ISLAND BECIDES SILVER LAKE. YOU WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Silver Lake Golf Course!
Great friendly staff and nice course
The staff was very friendly and nice. Each cart is cleaned nicely after each round. We saw the starter cleaning a cart and then he gave that cart to us which was great. The pace was very good. Front 9 are better than the back nine. The back nine has too many water issues. Lots of muddy spots. It was probably intensified due to rain last night. They need to rope off certain areas from cart access which was not done and made it worse. It definitely is in much better shape than the other two courses on Staten Island. It is well maintained other than the water issue which is hard to control especially if streams are running through the property. I would play it again but not after a night of heavy rain. Outdoor food and drink service was available too
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and we will pass along your positive experience to our team at Silver Lake Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
