Two of the five courses at Bethpage State Park have reopened for play after Hurricane Sandy, and a third may be available at least partially later this week, but the Red and Black courses are closed for the season, according to the park's reservation hotline.
The Yellow and Green courses are open, with the Yellow available only to walk-up players. Reservations are being accepted for the Green. The Blue Course's front nine might be open in time for Thanksgiving.
Bethpage Black typically ends its season in mid-November, so the closure comes as no surprise. As posted here earlier this month, a Golf On Long Island reader observed severe tree damage on areas of the Red Course near the bike path and polo field in the week following the storm.
Barring any setbacks, the Red and Black courses should reopen in April.
