The White course, one of three 18-hole golf courses at Eisenhower Park, was designed in 1950 by Robert Trent Jones, a major 20th-century architect of American courses. Born in England in 1906, Jones emigrated to the U.S. as a youngster and ultimately embarked on a career that saw him create or remodel some 500 golf courses throughout the U.S. over the span of seven decades.

The White course at Eisenhower measures 6,932 yards from the championship tees, 6,378 yards from the middle tees, and 5,357 yards from the forward tees. The course has elevated greens with 22 holes, as the par three’s have double identical holes. In recent years, 38 green side bunkers on the White course were renovated and 15 new tees constructed.

Long Island Golfer Achieves Rare Feat on White Course

In Newsday's edition of Sunday, July 5, sports writer and columnist Mark Herrmann highlighted the unique accomplishment of Long Islander Darryl Garner, who scored a double-eagle 2 on the 18th hole of Eisenhower Park's White Course, which is 468 yards from the white tees and par 5.

According to the story, Garner holed out his second shot from 205 yards with a hybrid club, an achievement considered even more difficult than scoring a hole-in-one on a par 3. "In golf lingo, it is called an albatross because it is so rare," wrote Herrmann. As Garner told the reporter: "I saw it go on the green and said to myself, 'Oh, my God.' I didn't believe that."

Golf Digest Accords Eisenhower Park Red Course a Four-Star Rating

Golf Digest magazine has included the Red course at Eisenhower Park among its “Four Stars Best Places to Play 2008/2009,” recognition granted to a select number of courses throughout the U.S., announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi.

The monthly magazine’s four-star ranking is reserved for courses considered “outstanding” and worthy of “plan[ning] your next vacation around.” In its comments section, Golf Digest noted several of the course’s attributes, including “great price,” “great shape,” “phenomenal big greens” and “beautiful walk in the park.”

The Red, one of three 18-hole golf courses at Eisenhower Park, has a storied history. It was designed in 1914 by a prominent local golf course architect, Devereux Emmet, and was originally part of the exclusive Salisbury Golf Club, begun by wealthy Long Islanders such as A.T. Stewart, a 19th-century retailer and property magnate who founded the Village of Garden City.

In 1926, the course hosted the PGA Championship and legendary golfer Walter Hagan, and in recent years PGA Tour golfers have gathered at the course for the Commerce Bank Championship. The par-72-course is 6.932 yards from the championship tees.

The two other 18-hole courses at Eisenhower Park, the White and Blue, were granted three stars (“very good”) by Golf Digest. In addition to the course, Eisenhower Park offers a driving range with 60 bays. For more information about golf at Eisenhower Park, call 516-572-0327/28.
