After a long bidding war for one of Staten Island’s public golf course, Doug Johnstone and Eve Taranto have been awarded a new twenty-year contact to run the facility.
Johnstone and Taranto, both avid golfers and active in the Staten Island golf community, also own and operate the Staten Island Practice Center.
They have promised many improvements to the course over the next five years, including upgrading the clubhouse, parking lot and various improvements to the golf course.
They have pledged to donate $10,000 annually to junior golf programs on Staten Island.
For many years, Silver Lake Golf Course, located near Victory, Forest and Clove Boulevards, was operated by the American Golf Corporation.

Good luck to Doug and Eve!
