- Golf carts are being disinfected before a round and after
- Cups have been raised so no flag contact is needed; ball hits metal cup – considered in ("Good feedback" so far)
- Pro shop moved to open area and disinfected multiple times an hour
- Door left open for less contact
Not far away in Hauppauge, Simplay, the indoor multi-sport facility with golf simulators and leagues, has closed until further notice.
Timber Point Golf Course — a Suffolk County muni — is delaying its 2020 reopening until April 1. The other three courses in the Suffolk Parks system are still on for their originally scheduled March 20 reopenings.
