Silver Lake Golf Course

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.

The course is conveniently located to NYC. It was in good shape for being the beginning of the season, however, the greens were recently aerated, so they were quite slow. This is expected for this time of year though.

There was an issue as we arrived 15 minutes before our tee time. After paying and getting our cart, we drove up to the starter, only to see that 3 groups were backed up in front of us. We asked those groups when their tee times were, and each of them were 10-20 minutes behind ours. The first starter we dealt with, said that unfortunately they were now placed in front of us, meaning our tee time meant virtually nothing and it was first come first play. However, a new starter approached and after bringing this to his attention, he remedied the issue. I am concerned that if we did not actively address this though, we would have been pushed back at least 30 minutes from our tee time. Just something to be aware of when arriving here.

1-PLACEMENT OF PINS WAS RANDOM. NOT THE USUAL NUMBER GIVEN RETO LOCATE THE PIN

2-NO WATER TANKS TO DRINK

3-NO SHUTTLE SERVICE FROM S.I. FERRY TO COURSE.

4-FOOD WAS GOOD BUT SERVICE WAS AWEFUL.

IN GENERAL A PLEASANT CROWD OF PEOPLE CHILLING AT THE TERRACE BAR AND RESTAURANT

RESPECTFULLY

Course was in fantastic shape. Some very challenging holes and greens. Must hit your drives in the fairway to score well.

Silver Lake is a nice local course to play. They have done numerous upgrades to the grounds over the past years that are beautiful and they keep the course in great shape.

Course did not drain at all from heavy rains 2 days ago. Every single fairway was soaked.

Greens were sandy.

No order for teeing off...everyone just lined up at the first tee box. No one even asked our group what time we had. We teed off 15 minutes past our time.

Nearly every fairway had more than 4 balls because of errant shots. Fairways are very close to each other.

When other courses are packed Silver Lake has openings. Very good prices also.

I read awesome reviews about this place and decided to head over from queens. This course is about an hr away from where I am and it was a waste of time, toll, money.

Our tee time was set for 12:15 and we got there at 11 only to find out it was backed up 1hr+.

We were also double booked with a walk on group of three.

Tee time was 12:15, we tee'd off at 1:30. Pace of play was dreadful and had to wait on the tee box for a minimum of 15 mins before being able to tee off.

We didnt get to finish our round. Terrible course time management. They should learn to get a better system thag works. Needless to say, everyone was annoyed at the delay and pace of play. I do not recommend this course.
