Silver Lake Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Not bad
Course was in good condition fairway and rough wise however greens were super sandy due to the aeration , pace of play was excellent just one flaw…. For some reason the starter started putting guys out on the back 9 later into the morning which resulted in long wait times on 15-18, this normally doesn’t bother me but I was literally the first group out it’s frustrating when you’re making excellent time then all of a sudden long waits on the home stretch
Great cours
I’ve played this course a few times now and every time has been very enjoyable
Great day of play
Played the back 9 in the am with my son and had an awesome day. Great course. Great staff.
Brutal pace of play.
Abandoned our round on the 13th hole at 6:35pm. Had a 2:31 tee time. Didnt tee off til 2:55. Pace was absolutely unacceptable. Never again.
Hot 🥵 Weather Day
Hot humid day, suddenly busy around 2pm! Waited on cart and GM with cute 🐕 a bit perturb about chaos? Breezed through front and slowed down in usual spots on back still finished in 4 hours. Course in very good shape and drainage work seems to be paying off👍
Poorly Managed Pace
This course was in the nicest condition on the island but was horribly managed with pacing. Today I was behind a group of 6, a group of 5, and what seemed to be a training session of about 7 kids and a coach. The course ranger was nowhere to be found and we had to jump around constantly to play at a decently normal pace. This course is really nice if you luck out and play on a quiet day, if it isn’t, 9 holes is taking you 4 hours.
My God, the crowds...
Course in fairly decent shape... especially compared to a few yrs back. However, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a more crowded golf course- our round was close to 6 hours.
Absurd
Every stereotype you’ve ever heard about Staten Island is perpetuated int his golf course. I have never felt more surrounded by idiots in my life. Almost 5 hours to play 18 holes at a Muni golf course is unreal and not a lick of golf etiquette anywhere. Guys playing the ball up the wrong fairway over your head on tee boxes then yelling at you for being on the tee box of a hole they’re not even on….. I never thought that I would be worried about finishing a round in June before sundown that started at 3:10… oh and they turned the sprinklers on every hole on the back 9 when we had 4 holes left.
Fun day
Great day, played behind a tournament and we flew through the course…great day overall!
Ok course but too tight, confusing at times, SLOW!

Also, if you are a long hitter you have to be wary of going onto a road, homes, etc.
Greens would be better if properly cut.
