Skydrive Golf Center, the two-story driving range and mini-golf course across Route 110 from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, is permanently closed. The facility shut down at the close of business on July 28, its entrance now partially shuttered with signs thanking customers for their longtime support.
The loss of Skydrive leaves area golfers to look for open stalls at the small range to the north at SUNY Farmingdale or the no-driver range at Bethpage State Park. The closest multi-level, heated facility is Heartland Golf Park in Edgewood.
Skydrive is at least the third major driving range to close since 2012. Oakdale Golf Center and Island Green Golf Center in Selden previously closed for development.
