Nassau County Reopens Two Nine-Hole Courses for 2011 Season

Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announces that the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums will reopen two of its four nine-hole golf courses for the 2011 season the weekend of March 26.

The two courses, in Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn-North Hills (516-571-8120) and Bay Park in East Rockaway (516-571-7242), have been closed since December. Bay Park will be open seven days; the Christopher Morley course is closed Monday. The two other county nine-hole courses at Cantiague Park (516-571-7061) and North Woodmere Park (516-571-7814) remained open during the winter and are open daily.

Each of the 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 have been open throughout the winter. The championship Red course is scheduled to open the weekend of March 26 before closing again the week of March 28 for additional work; it is scheduled to reopen for the season on April 2. For information, call 516-572-0327/28.

Championship Red Golf Course Scheduled to Open on April 2 for 2011 Season

Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announces that the championship Red golf course at Eisenhower Park is scheduled to reopen for the 2011 playing season on Saturday, April 2. Prior to that, the course will open for just two days the weekend of March 26 before closing briefly the week of March 28 for additional work.

One of the area’s most sought-after courses, the Red has a storied history, having been designed by prominent golf architect Devereux Emmet in 1914 and having hosted PGA championships as far back as 1926 and as recently as 2008 (the PGA Tour’s Commerce Bank Championship). The Red has also enjoyed numerous accolades over the years, including Golf Digest’s “Four Stars Best Places to Play,” recognition granted to a select number of courses throughout the U.S. Newsday has placed the Red course on its top-10 list of public courses on Long Island while the Long Island Press has included the Eisenhower Park golf facility among its “Best of Long Island” public courses.

The Red course is par-72 and measures 7,107 yards from the back tees; it is open six days a week (closed Mondays).

The two other 18-hole courses at Eisenhower Park – the Blue and White – have been open throughout the winter. The Eisenhower Park golf facility also includes a driving range and mini-golf. For information, call 516-572-0327/28.
