Rating 70.4

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.

Wayne is an ashole

I love all staffs here except Wayne. Wayne is an ashole. Everyone knows that. I do not understand why the company do not fire him even though everyone complaining about Wayne. Wayne, stop haressing me.

Wayne blocked me to get me off the cart and force me drag my golf bag all the way up on my own. He shouldn’t do that. It’s just a haressing. I told him that dont be jerk but he answered he want to keep picking on me. He’s just a crazy ashole. You should fire him. Asian women should avoid going there on Thursdays. Wayne’s working there on Thursdays. Thursday is my best option. What should i do??

Wayne, you need an apology to me

I love all staffs working here except Wayne.

Wayne is just a jerk. He always yelling me even i do nothing wrong. A starter gave me a go sign. So i headed to 1st hole When i ready to set my driver up, all of a sudden Wayne came to me and yelled me that i should wait more. I believe that Wayne did thst just wanted to haress me because i am an asian old woman. Wayne’s just an Ashole. That’s it. I do not understand why the company has not fire him yet.

Wayne, stop picking on me

I was on my cart way moving mybag tp up there after 18th hole, Wayne blocked me and yelled me to get off my cart. He told me i should drag my golfbag all the way up on my own I paid $22 for cart and i can use my cart like just everyone use their cart to move their golfbag up. I told Wayne not to be jerk on me but he told that exactly “i do not care what you think about me and i’ll keep doing it”. What an Ashole!!! Wayne, stop haressing me!!

Wayne never do that to white guys but i am an asian old wowan. I’ve done nothing wrong and i have very good relations with other staffs except Wayme.

Wayne is working on Thursdays. Be careful if u have a schedule to go there on Thursday

Wayne is the worst ashole.

Wayne ( i asked his name) threw me under the bus. He accused me what i didn’t do it.( I think he just accused me because i am an asian woman). After i explained about what i didn’t do that , i asked him an apology. But let alone he appoliseze me , he lied me and made up a story to throw me under the bus again. He is the worst ashhole.

Enjoyed the course

Visiting from out of town, we tried out several value courses in the NYC area with strong reviews. The good: The mid-summer course conditions were great. Good tee boxes, true greens. Many nice holes placing a premium on accuracy, not distance, but there are some longer par 3's.

The bad: It's a very tight track and it was not uncommon for other players to be searching for their ball nearby fairways...balls regularly landed near us or were heard hitting nearby trees...it's combat out there. For us, it meant the pace of play was very slow.

I recommend the course but would advise playing mid-week, or very early to avoid the slower pace.

Expensive compared to the course value

We had to wait for each hole and play with a lot of nerves because there were so many holes that overlapped with other holes

Pace of play poor

Overall course conditions terrific. Unfortunately pace of play was horrible (5.5 hrs for 18 holes). Didn't see a Marshall to speed up play the whole time...

Sometimes the bear eats you

While the course was in good shape and the staff was friendly, we got stuck behind a youth group. Sometimes you just have to deal with it to allow our use to participate and learn the game. Overall it was a good day. Happy to see the kids enjoying our game.
