By the end of this week all but a tiny handful of Long Island's public golf courses will be open for play with a variety of social-distancing measures in place.
This Friday, May 1, Island's End Golf Course in Greenport and the Town of Huntington municipal courses at Crab Meadow and Dix Hills Park will reopen. All three had been open at times in March and April and closed based on the state's changing business guidelines.
The Town of Islip municipal courses at Brentwood CC, Holbrook CC and Gull Haven are scheduled to open for the first time this season.
Reservations must be booked online and social distancing must be followed. Unlike the guidelines in place at most other area courses, Brentwood and Holbrook posted that they will be allowing single-rider motor carts and on-site payment (credit cards only).
