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.

B-

Tee boxes could be in better shape and softer, the course is definitely challenging it’s very compact and unforgiving if you can’t keep every shot straight, the greens look and feel nice I had trouble reading them,

Great Time for a 5:18 AM tee time, however…

Booked a 5:18 AM tee time (Sunday) played with a random player. Tee’Ed off at 5:19 We were flying through the front 9 and finished in 1 hour and 20 minutes. On our way to the 10th hole, saw that they was tons of people which is normal because it was a beautiful day to golf. As I arrived to the 10th hole which is next to the 1st hole, I noticed a 3some with carts teeing off. We didn’t have anyone in front of us during the first 9 holes. I parked my cart and noticed that there was another 3some in front of them walking which again we didn’t see any of these people the prior holes. To have a 5:18 AM tee time, figured we would’ve finished under 3 hours at the rate we were going. My opinion shouldn’t send anyone/groups off the back 9 that early especially on the weekend. The staff was nice enough to hold off the group that Tee’ed off on 10th hole and let us play there but after that we were stuck behind the rest of the remaining groups. We finished the round at 8:50 AM which isn’t bad but wasn’t expecting that on the back 9. Still a great course and staff helped out as best as they can.

Challenging short course

Great diversity in holes. Greens were great. Proshop attendant made me feel right at home with my U Texas repping. Starter was very helpful.

Can’t wait to return! Thanks Silver Lake staff!

Sloooooowwww

Don’t go on a Saturday. The front 9 took 3 hours to play (not an exaggeration). There were groups waiting to tee off when we made the turn, so we played the front again. Not an enjoyable experience.

Greens were in great shape, course overall in great shape , some fairways were roped off for maintenance but not a big deal. Some trees could be trimmed on 14.

We understand that aeration and certain upkeep and maintenance needs to be performed however when booking a course I believe that it’s the course and Golf now responsibility to let us know when the course is shut down for the maintenance

Weekend Golf

By far the best kept course on island but that comes with price. I’m sure it was in great shape for Resident men’s league early Sunday morning but by time we played greens were rough and people refuse to fix ball marks! Cart path only but full price to ride, needs to change! 6 hours to just finish in dark, need translator for Asian influx on what cart path only means! It’s always wet but wheel rut tracks all over track! Hopefully nice weather dries place out. Will stay away on weekends, not worth aggravation!
