Make your plans now to challenge the Black Course at Bethpage State Park while there's still time. Long Island's main public-golf attraction will close for the season next Sunday, November 14. It will re-open in April.
Rain is supposed to clear out by this weekend and allow for a few cool and comfortable golf days in central Nassau. Barring any washouts from uncooperative weather, the Black will remain open every day through the end of the season (no scheduled maintenance closings).
Golf On Long Island visited the Black Course for the first time this Summer. A flyover will be available this offseason. Until then, check out our course observations.
