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.

Not ADA Friendly

I have a handicap that limits me to 9 holes with a cart. Other courses have 9 hole rates, why can’t the ones on Staten Island?

Fast greens

The greens were in great shape and the fastest they’ve ever been since I started playing there 3 years ago. Some tee boxes a little beat up, but it was the end of the season.

My Favorite Course on SI

I play this course quite often, and it’s always in pristine condition! So I left something of value in the cart, and didn’t realize until I got home. I called the course and spoke to “Bruce” I believe he said his name was. I explained what I left and he went above and beyond to talk to another employee and stated they found what I was missing! Thank you, Bruce, for your professionalism and to Silver Lake Golf Course “The Working Man’s Country Club”!

BAD - slower then molasses

Course was in great condition, but if you don’t like 7 hour rounds of golf this course isn’t for you. Got there at noon for a 12:30 tee time and didn’t tee off until after 1. We got told to just wait in line before we teed off. My friends and I left the course on hole 12 after being there for over 4 hours. The pace of play was the worst out of any course I’ve ever played before. Way too many Inexperienced golfers and balls were flying all over course. Definitely would not recommend for the price.
