Silver Lake Golf Course

About Silver Lake Golf Course

This Staten Island municipal track sits in one of the borough's most picturesque settings, carved around the shores of Silver Lake Reservoir with the wooded hills of Silver Lake Park providing a surprisingly serene backdrop just minutes from the Verrazzano Bridge. The layout makes excellent use of the rolling terrain, with several holes offering elevated tees that showcase both the water views and the Manhattan skyline in the distance. What strikes you immediately is how the course feels more like a hidden gem than a typical city muni, the tree-lined fairways and natural contours create genuine character that many private clubs would envy. The real appeal here is the combination of accessibility and atmosphere that's increasingly rare in New York City golf. At a 4.1 Google rating from nearly 300 reviews, it's clearly exceeding expectations for most players, likely because the setting and routing deliver more personality than the typical municipal experience. Walking is encouraged, which lets you properly appreciate the elevation changes and sight lines that make this more interesting than your average public course. For the price point and convenience to Staten Island and Brooklyn residents, it's the kind of regular-play option that keeps you coming back.
