Improvements at Cutchogue's Cedars Golf Club are continuing in preparation for the nine-hole course's 2016 season, with the focus this winter on opening up some of the property's waterside scenery as well as a new cafe featuring items from one of the area's prominent snack shops.
This will be the third season at Cedars for owners Tim McManus and Paul Pawlowski, who've spent much of 2014 and 2015 upgrading conditions on and around the quaint nine-holer and inside its old-fashioned clubhouse. Their initial improvements, outlined by Golf On Long Island back in September 2014, included renovation of greens and bunkers, irrigation upgrades and the introduction of a simulator room for off-course swings.
This offseason's work will open up the scenery surrounding parts of the course, specifically near the ninth hole, where the kayak launch (another recent addition) sends paddlers into West Creek. Waterside brush will be removed to make views looking south over the creek available to golfers. New water views will also emerge in other spots on the south side of the course.
Inside the clubhouse, the crew aims to open Cedars Cafe, with goodies available from Mattituck's Magic Fountain ice cream parlor.
Cedars has been a tranquil fixture south of Cutchogue's village green for decades. Golf on the property dates back to the early 1900s, when a rudimentary course was laid out on an old sheep pasture. Russell Case, whose Cutchogue family helped develop the nearby North Fork Country Club, incorporated this pastureland into the course when he built Cedars in the 1960s.
