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
Great little course but overcrowded.
Our group was hit by a golf ball. People on this course are very impatient even though there are so many groups in front/behind.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Not a Good Impression SI
Unfriendly and confused staff from the onset. Caliber of patrons very stereotypical of Staten Island. Music playing in their carts. Hitting into you. Extreme amounts of aggression.
Now to the course. Probably has any been watered in months. Rock hard bare to the bone fairways and greens. Awful cart paths and weeds everywhere in the fairway.
Some interesting undulation but all in all not worth traveling to and playing if you don’t live in some of the unfortunate housing surrounding the course.
Silver Lake Outstanding

Website errors.
The website worked the first time I used it. This last time I recieved error messages. I was billed twice for the same tee time. Big complaint is there is no one to talk. Phone number. Don't think I will use this site again. Need my funds return ASAP please...!!!
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.
Excellent City Course
I've played several of the NYC courses (Dyker Beach, Marine Park, Forest Hills), and this one, in a close run with Marine Park, is the best in the 5 boroughs. The topography of the property is interesting, and the course design makes great use of it. There are a lot of elevated greens that make for curious 2nd shots. The course is a little shorter than your average, but the use of the elevation makes up for it. Highly recommended for the urban golfer.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Silver Lake Golf Course. We look forward to having you back in the near future!
Great Place to Get Rounds in
Good course kept in good shape. The Staff is outstanding and friendly. For a City course, the pace is fine.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We appreciate your kind words! Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Silver Lake Golf Course thanks you!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Thank you for choosing Silver Lake Golf Course. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time!
Rain check
This has nothing to do with the course itself. I had a 3:12 tee time, and due to an extreme thunderstorm, I only played 5 holes. Golfnow has arguably the worst customer service ever. Golfnow doesn’t even have a human being on their customer service line about getting this fixed. I called the course itself and they offered no refund, as I was told by the rude woman on the phone.
Nice course, Great condition.
The course was in excellent condition even though there were thunderstorms the day before. Don't know if they staggered the tee times due to COVID or if I just got lucky; but there was nobody in front of us and we were able to get the round in very quickly. The fairways are narrow but not unreasonable (If you miss the fairway you can usually find the ball and punch it back out). Some elevated greens and Doglegs make up for the short yardage. Fun Course, will definitely put it in my playing rotation.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Silver Lake Golf Course thanks you!
Love, love love it!
As u see in my stat ratings, there are so many wonderful things I love about this course!
Starts the minute I get there when I see Steve the starter - he’s a fun dude and also very professional.
The course is in fantastic shape and I commend the folks who worked so hard to keep it up during the pandemic.
I played there twice, both as a single, and I was paired with very friendly people.
In fact everybody there is welcoming. There is one hole drives me nuts but since I was fortunate to par it today I’ll be less harsh. 7th.
Fairway slopes a LOT left to right.
All the holes are challenging and if you walk the course, you’ll lose 10 pounds. Very hilly!
Speaking of weight, I’m addicted to grilled hot dogs which I won’t pass up at the turn!
Great!! !
