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.

Nothing special

Knew what I was getting myself into. Typical Staten Island course. Course is run poorly. They let singles go out one after another. One dude was so high I’m pretty sure he’s still laying out on 15 fairway. Wish they would manage the course like jersey

Upset with staff

I was upset as I was a single playing with a group of 3 and was forced to ride with the single person from that group. I have been to countless of courses and even at silver lake as well where I have been able to ride by myself. I love the course but that rule and staff memeber was not very pleasant

Great overall value!

Silver Lake was a fun, well maintained course with friendly staff and a nice clubhouse. We enjoyed our round, however the course was very crowded and pace of play was an issue - we waited on nearly every hole, and our round took over 5 hours. Overall, I look forward to returning to Silver Lake and hope that in the future rounds will be slightly more spread out to encourage faster play.
