Corned beef, cabbage, beer, birdie putts — they all come together on or around St. Patrick's Day each year at a couple of Long Island golf courses that celebrate the holiday with chilly, Irish-themed outings. One of them is Mill Pond Golf Course in Medford, which will hold this year's outing on St. Pattie's Day morning as others march in parades and eat all kinds of green-infused goodies.
Mill Pond's annual St. Patrick's Day Golf Classic tees off at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17. Format for the outing is four-person scramble. Entry fee is $79 (pre-payment required) and covers golf, cart and range balls in addition to a 3:00 p.m. after-party featuring a hot Irish buffet, draft beer and wine. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and winners of closest-to-pin and long-drive contests.
To register for the St. Patrick's Day Golf Classic, call (631) 732-8249. In the event of inclement weather, the outing will be canceled and all registrants will be refunded.
