Course feel was as if we were on vacation.

Course played short, but still challenging with the many hazards including water on close to half of the course.
Fairways and greens were pristine. Rough was kept long, which offered challenging 2nd shots if you missed the narrow fairways.

Staff was very welcoming

Carts were brand new and clean - electric yamahas

Overall, great experience and will be back again.

Played Silverlake several times this year and it's definitely the most well-kept course on Staten Island. I enjoy playing here, except when the pace of play was as bad as it was that day. In 5 hours, we got done only 15 holes, and we never made it to the back 9 and replayed the front 9.

I love the course, but there has to be some control in booking T-times to manage the pace of play. Although circumstances with COVID have people playing more golf and a beautiful Saturday afternoon in November may have slowed up the pace of play more than usual.

Still good to get out in November with course conditions likes it's April.

Course layout - features a lot of trees on both sides of the fairway. Some fairways more narrow than others so be prepared to club down if your driver isn’t on point. On 3-4 holes, greens are well below the fairway which offers a challenge you wouldn’t see on a normal course. Also, definitely bring your bug spray.

Pace of play - average to slow based on a Saturday afternoon rate, but the group in front of us could’ve played faster. If you plan on getting a cart, get there 30 mins early since they’re allowing single riders with COVID.

Walkable course, although very hilly on some holes. There isn’t a far distance between each hole. I used my pull cart with a sore back and got through without a problem.

Would play here again.

Course conditions - Well kept for this time of year. T boxes and fairways were immaculate. Greens were beaten up, only because it seems like very few people fix their ball marks.

Staff - very friendly and welcoming

Pace of play - slow, 4 hour round on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, as expected. Par 4s usually slow pace down so be prepared. Carts are limited so recommend walking instead of riding which is very doable on this course.

Price - get the most for your money here. Very cheap round of golf. You’ll hit every iron in your bag and will be able to hit driver on most par 4s.

Highly recommend playing here.

Well kept course
Friendly staff
Worth every penny

We were greeted the second we walked in the door. Friendly staff, with a grille inside. The course was in good shape after getting heavy rain. Par 3 course with a mix (4) par 4s. Yardages range from 80 - 175, allowing you to hit every iron in your bag. Fun course, but challenging. We rode, the carts were electric and didn’t make a sound when you hit the gas. They also have pull carts. I would walk the course next time I play. Perfect course to get a friend into the game. Round took us about 2.5-3 hours while taking our time in the heat.

The course is in beautiful shape for preseason golf, don’t listen to the other reviews. The conditions will get better as time goes on. The course has a great mix of par 3s and 5s with beautiful views throughout allowing you to play every club in your bag. Highly recommend for any level golfer!
