Located by the water in East Rockaway, the Bay Park nine-hole is a beautifully conditioned, links-style course that features elevated greens. The course is 1,956 yards and par 30, with the two holes over 300 yards (five, at 352, and nine at 331, both par four). “The course is in fantastic shape and we’re thrilled to be able to open it to the public on a daily basis,” says Gene Contino, director of golf operations.

The Bay Park course opens at 6:30 a.m. six days a week and 9 a.m. on Wednesdays; the last tee-off is at 6:30 daily.

The County offers three other nine-hole courses at Cantiague Park in Hicksville (516-571-7061); Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn-North Hills (516-571-8120); and North Woodmere Park (516-571-7814). Cantiagie and North Woodmere also have driving ranges.

Nassau County Scheduled to Reopen Two Nine-Hole Golf Courses

on March 13

Following a cold winter, the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums is scheduled to reopen two of its four nine-hole golf courses on Friday, March 13, 2009, weather permitting, announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi.

The two courses, in Bay Park in East Rockaway (516-571-7242) and Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn-North Hills (516-571-8120), have been closed since December; they will be open six days a week. The two other county nine-hole courses at Cantiague Park (516-571-7061) and North Woodmere Park (516-571-7814) have remained open during the winter, as weather allows. The initial hours for all four courses will be from approximately 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Each of the four nine-hole par-30 courses provides a slightly different playing experience. Christopher Morley, at 1,603 yards, is a small but hilly course surrounded by trees, and the only course located on the North Shore. The Bay Park course is located by the water and has two holes over 300 yards, with total yardage of 1,956. At 2,282 yards, North Woodmere’s course is the largest of the nine holes, with four holes over 300 yards, two of which approach 400 yards. Like Bay Park, the course is located on the South Shore by the water. Cantiague Park’s golf course is centrally located in Hicksville and offers a flat and easy-to-traverse property, with total yardage of 1,878.

At Eisenhower Park's golf facility, the 18-hole Blue and White courses are open seven days a week as weather allows. The championship Red course is scheduled to open later in March or early April. For information, call 516-572-0327/28.
