The 2010 season begins today at the Crab Meadow Golf Course in Northport. The hilly and scenic par-72 near the Long Island Sound is set to welcome golfers back in the midst of a late-winter wave of warm temps. If this past weekend is an indicator, there will likely be a nice crowd in Northport eager to battle the course's elevation changes and its par-5 eighth hole, a member of Newsday's Long Island Dream 18.
Crab Meadow was honored last year by Long Island Press readers who voted the Town of Huntington layout one of the Island's top public golf courses in the newspaper's annual "Best Of Long Island" poll.
