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.

Good course terrible management

Went out to play on a Sunday afternoon and left after 5 hours having only played 13 holes. Course is way over booked and there was no ranger in sight to help keep things moving.

Great potential

Have been playing here for over 30 years. Course layout is nice, conditions are usually the best of the three public courses on the Island, and pace of play is average. Recently rangers have been out to help improve pace, especially on 4 and 5, but they need to be more attentive to getting slow players to pick up their pace. A few areas of the cart paths are in poor shape and need repair. The staff are all very friendly and helpful at all times, and I always have a nice day when I play there. Some of the greens are very interesting and challenging, especially when they have been nicely cut and rolled. #18 is the best finishing hole on the island, and becomes a real challenge if the wind is in your face. My suggestions for changes should some real $$$ become available: lengthen #9 to a somewhat short par 5, and clean out the pond on #11, add a bunker or two in front and make it a nice signature hole. Just sayin’. Thanks for all of the many good times I’ve had there over the years!!!

Miserable Saturday afternoon

Booked a 1:06pm tee time, get to the course only to have a tournament of 30 players waiting to tee off. 3 hours to get through front 9, waiting for 2 groups to tee off on multiple holes. On the 10th hole we notified a ranger of the pace of play and their response was “do you want the easy answer? It’s Saturday”. Took a total of 6+ hours to get through 18 holes. Allowing people to book tee times at the same time a tournament is teeing off is completely unacceptable.

Greedy

Booked an outing which they didnt call an outing on a Saturday. Didnt do shot gun start so created massive backup whole day. Round took 6 hours to complete. When asked rangers to do their job and ask people ahead to mind pace of play i was told ill give you a quick answer its saturday. He had audacity to tell me that when my group along with 4 other groups were still waiting to tee off the 10th whole. By far worst experience i had in golf. Absolute greed to make as much money as they can was shown that day. 5 min spaced out tee time. Ridiculous!

Ranger bad patterns needs training and inflexible to unique situations

Ranger targets players from close the club house rarely doing the job and inflexible to unique situations with individual players. Only played half the round left in deep frustration and felt highly disrespected - ruined my day. I sent an anonymous email to management - one got kicked back because email box was full no response from the other manager. Going back this Friday with my brother hoping for a peaceful round. I will let you know

Robbery

Way too much cash for a course like that. And they beat you over the head for carts. And why is there no 9 hole option after 9am. Dumb

No supervu

Paid $85.00 for two green fees and then $45.00 for a cart. Intended to play 18 but left the course after nine holes given a husband and wife who were giving lessons to their daughter. That is fine but Dad teed off on every hole when I & my girlfriend were halfway up the fairway. He hit into us on each hole. I spoke to him twice with no response so I will figure he not only did not know golf etiquette but also no English. The front nine was completely backed up with nine holes taking three hours .
