Eisenhower Park Mini-Golf Course and Batting Cage Change to Fall Schedule

NOTE: On September 24, 2009, batting cage hours changed to 10:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. (last token) and mini-golf hours to 10:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. (last round of golf).

The miniature-golf course and outdoor batting cage at Eisenhower Park began fall hours on September 9, announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi. Both facilities will open at 10:30 a.m. seven days a week, with last tokens sold at the batting cage at 7 p.m. and the last round of mini-golf taking place at 7:30 p.m.

One of Nassau County’s most popular mini-golf courses and named “Best of Long Island” by News 12 Long Island, Eisenhower Park’s mini-golf course features two 18-hole courses (“Mountainside” and “Overlook”) with terraced landscaping that incorporates a waterfall, small ponds, flower beds and a number of challenging holes.

The course is wheelchair and baby-stroller accessible and includes two gazebos with picnic tables that are available for children's parties. Fees are $7 for adults and $4 for children and seniors for one 18-hole round.

The batting cage includes nine individual stalls with three different speeds for baseball or softball. For baseball, speeds range from 40-45 mph, 60-65 mph and 80-85 mph. Since the system is “self-feeding” and the balls are collected automatically, patrons don’t need to waste time and energy collecting them and filling boxes or feeding a pitching machine, as is the case at some indoor facilities. The fee for the cage is $3 for 25 pitches.
