 Golf
With 64 private and 43 public courses, golf on Long Island can
be played year-round.
Shinnecock Hills, located in the Shinnecock Reservation is one of
the nation's oldest private courses. Two U.S. Open tournaments have taken
place here, with a third planned for 1995.
With five courses, Bethpage State Park is one of the nation's
largest public golf complexes. Its Black course is consistently ranked as
one of America's top 25 public golf courses.
Although a large percentage of the courses are private, the public courses
offer more than enough challenge. Residents may bring nonresident guests
to most county and town courses. Long waiting times for tee-off are the
norm on summer weekends, while those playing on weekdays encounter minimal
waits.
