December arrives this weekend and with it comes the first wave of Long Island course closings for the 2019-20 offseason.
Bethpage Red will close for the season at the close of play on Sunday, December 1, as will the Green Course, which typically remains open as needed during the winter. Bethpage Blue and Yellow will be open for play through the winter, weather permitting.
December 1 is also the last day to play the Woods Course at Cherry Creek in Riverhead.
On Monday, December 2, The Golf Club at Middle Bay in Oceanside will close for the season.
Already shut down for the winter are Bethpage Black, which typically closes in mid-November, and Great Rock in Wading River. The latter closed abruptly last month amid rumors of a sale.
Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more winter closures.
