Silver Lake Golf Course

Workers are friendly and nice. My issues was the guy that changes the cup placement on the greens. I used to work at a course on the island. We would change the cups traveling the holes backwards. 18,17,16....so on. For some reason they change them here in order from 1,2,3.... so just about every hole we played we had to wait for the guy to get off the green because we didnt want to hit him. We played the first 16 holes this way. He was friendly and would wave us up, but still, we opted to wait for safety. When you change them backwards you can only run into people once. Other than that this course is in better shape then the other two on the island.

I live in the Financial District and, as a result, Silver Lake was the best course I easily had access to (via Staten Island Ferry). But this past weekend was a disaster. Tee times were backed up over an hour, which was compounded by a 6 hour plus round. Adding insult to injury, I was a solo golfer and could've easily been filled up a group, but instead I was told to wait (despite the fact that groups of 2 were being sent out). The cherry on top is that even with the cart "included" at $75, that price is well above this course's justifiable greens fees. For $75 I'd rather play Galloping Hill (NJ) or one of the Bethpage courses.

Had a 1052 Tee time and didn’t tee off until 12p. Was awarded no discount and only wanted to play 9 holes since I didn’t have the full time. Understand this is a business but this is not a way to enjoy the game of golf

Need to spread tee times out more and choose the experience of golfer over fitting as many golfers in

Need rangers to enforce rate of play and afford some type of concession to the players.

Course isn’t managed well. They let out a huge group of 20+ without tee times that backed everything up substantially. Pace of play was atrocious.

Silver Lake is the best Golf Course on Staten Island

I have to commend the staff on their response to the devastating winter storms. it was clearly evident that the course had lost over a dozen large trees and another few dozen had lost many limbs and branches. In spite of that the grounds crew and course superintendent had cut up /and or removed the trees, cleared the cart paths and repaired any damaged green surfaces. great effort to have the course open and very playable.

Course in good shape considering all the storms we've been getting Course in best condition last 2 yrs than ever before and I grew up close

Course was fine. Playing in winter the conditions were as good as could be expected. Course was damp due to rain over the weekend. All as expected. Just an average public course in NYC.

beautiful day to play , can not figure out how the pace was so slow . could be cart path only . great day all in all

Silver Lake was otherwise a really nice, quick morning outing but very, very wet after almost a day and night of rain the day before. I teed off at 7:15 a couple of minutes after sunrise and played through (as a single player, riding) in 2,5 hours, which was nice but ended up missing putts by ridiculous distances due to watery greens. It wasn’t just roughs and fairways that were sogged - most of the cups were full of water as well and many greens had outright puddles. I was just happy to get out there and aside from its ability to drain water the course is simple, straightforward and spacious - perfect for my long and wide drives...

The course was muddy, sloppy ,wet and covered in spots with ice.....What do you expect it's January anyone who bad reviews because of course conditions is ridiculous. The staff is always friendly and my only complaint is the pace of play was slowed up by one really rude group who just wanted to chat and complain about the frozen tee boxes, get over it were not in florida. So to end this rant this is a decent track for a reasonable price worth stopping by. :)

Completely mud soaked fairways, frozen tee boxes and greens , cups completely frozen to the top.

This is the best keeped course on the Staten Island very well maintained . They also made some really great changes to the course the last few years I am very pleased with that . And I hear they have a locally made wine I will be trying this year .
