Nothing to see here. The results are in for the 2017 "Best of LI" poll by the Long Island Press, and Bethpage State Park is still on top.
In fact, all of the golf-category winners from 2016 are back in the top spot — Bethpage for "Best Golf Course," Heartland Golf Park for "Best Driving Range" and Unique Golf Shop in Babylon for "Best Golf Store."
Long Island Press readers have selected Bethpage as the Island's top golf destination every year since the Press began conducting the online survey more than a decade ago. The 90-hole golf mecca is best known for the famed Black Course and its "Warning" sign, but the mighty Red Course draws its fair share of golfers from near and far, as do the Blue, Yellow and Green courses.
Heartland is a repeat winner in a category that typically offers up new gold medalists each time around. The bi-level range near the Deer Park train station includes automatic tees and other modern amenities, as well as a nine-hole golf course (and mini golf) on site.
Unique Golf Shop is just as dominant as Bethpage in the Best Golf Store category, now taking top honors in seven consecutive surveys.
