Silver Lake Golf Course

We did receive a hot deal thru Golfnow. We arrived 30 minutes early. When we arrived no one was on the tee for at least 20/25 minutes. The clerk kept telling us he was receiving flak from management about letting people out early We mentioned to him that per Golnow website there was anyone booked in front of us for more than 15 minutes, let bus out. He said no and then an instructional group for kids arrived. Long story short we wound up starting on Hole #4 and did not play the entire 18. Yes the price was good but the service wasn't. As a group I doubt we will be going to Silver Lake in the near future.

Pace of play was horrendous! People about 2 groups ahead of us were basically giving each other lessons on the course. We told the ranger and he did nothing. We left before our round was finished, won't be back.

Lotes of trees, very narrow farways otherwise not a bad course price is a little high for twilight times.

The course shuttle van meets you at the Staten island Ferry terminal, for the short 10 minute ride to the course. Friendly staff, and great course conditions are highlights of this easy weekend day trip.

Played the course for the first time yesterday with two friends who play it regularly.

I live in the city and the course is easy to get to via ferry and the great shuttle service provided by course. The course, especially the front nine, provides a strong challenge to due the hills, making each shot and club selection something to think

about. Greens and tee boxes were in god shape, especially for a public course. Carts more more than adequate. (note) cart paths need some work).

The staff was friendly and accommodating, loved the shuttle pickup feature. We played a leisurely round in 4:15 minutes which is awesome. Can't wait to come back and play this course now that I have played it once.

I have not played here in two years, not close to home but overall great day. Had a noon time tee off, things when smoothly played just over 4 hours (3 some). Course in good shape (fairway & greens). the rough was thick which added to the differculty, got to hit it straight as fairway are narrow an side by side. Will be back again. Must ride the course too hilly for walking.

Course is in great shape. No ranger to keep up the pace of play. Group in front of me had 2 holes open on the last 8 holes

Not a long track but will punish you for errant tee shots. Weather was sunny and nice as nice can be. Pace was fabulous due to open tee times after an outing. Despite recent heavy rainfall, course conditions were great as usual for this place. Staff was super friendly with no crazy management issues today.

I have been playing this course consistently for three years. The course is in good condition for the amount of play it gets. The best feature about this course is the fact that every shot outside of the tee-box and greens are on uneven ground. This alone makes the course more challenging than many of the other courses around Manhattan. I recommend trying to find a hot deal and take the trip, you will not regret it.

i played on Saturday May 27 . Teed off at 1:55 pm. i was a single and got put with a three some of new golfers. Although they were new to the game i had a good time. We played in just under 5 hours. It would have been faster but the pin placements were in strategically difficult locations. I personally didn't mind it , but realized it was a problem for the rest of my group being beginners. I think if a golf course is looking to speed play on busy weekends they should make easier pin placements. I saw the superintendent while on the turn and tried to mention this but he mumbled something unintelligible and drove off. this is one of the best public courses around.

6 hour round. Had a 12:37 tee time didn't get out till after 1. Tournament playing ahead of us but the group 2 out in front of us had no clue how to play the game or how to play ready or had any business playing a tournament. We were 3 groups on the tee numerous times they would spend 20 min to find lost balls. The completely destroyed the round for me. 6 hrs is crazy to play. I should have left and asked for my money back. The course is in great shape on the plus side but no rangers moving pace of play and another group 2 behind us had a radio playing the whole time. Overall course is in nice shape the lack of ranger to pace players and control idiots playing the radio on a golf course really made for a bad day. Hope they read this. It should be policy to tell you when your playing behind a large group.

Review is solely based on this days playing experience. Late afternoon round on a course I had pretty much to myself on a Saturday. Weather was cool with slight overcast which makes for perfect golf weather. Starter and rest of staff personnel was super friendly and course conditions were terrific. Greens were a little slow for Silver Lake standards. Usually some of the fastest and best greens of all NYC courses. Grabbing a bite and a few beers at the Veranda on site is always a plus at the Lake. With location, price, and friendly staff, it always was a place I played frequently.

We had a great experience at Silver Lake. It rained 3" the day before we played and the course was in great shape. We weren't either rushed or waiting at any point during our 18 holes and played in under 4 hours. While the facilities could have been better, I am going for the golf. We will return!

Course drained well after a huge downpour the day before.

This course has an office in a trailer which is old and squeaky.The check out person is stubborn and just not the one to help or assist golfers in any way. Usually No is the answer.The course had 6 foursomes waiting on par 3 3rd and we waited for 45 mins for our turn. Pace of play was very slow and no ranger to control it.Ball washers did not have any towels.It was just awful.
