Coronavirus Update: Most courses open for play

A lengthy list of public and municipal golf courses around Long Island announced Tuesday that they will reopen for play -- some today, some tomorrow -- with social-distancing precautions in place to ensure the safety of players.

What looked like a statewide shutdown of public golf on Monday morning quickly reversed within hours once the state announced its park golf courses would reopen on Tuesday.  A number of non-munis announced they would follow the lead of the state parks and reopen as well.  Those announcements continued Tuesday when the following courses posted their own reopenings, effective today:

• Cherry Creek Links and Woods
• Town of Oyster Bay municipal course
• Middle Island Country Club
• Nassau County municipal courses (Eisenhower Blue and White; North Woodmere; Cantiague; Christopher Morley)
• Spring Lake (reopening Thursday)
• Swan Lake (reopening Thursday)

Note that measures are in place to limit contact, including walking only (or single-rider carts), reservations only, no-touch flagsticks and more.  Contact the individual courses either online or by phone for specific measures.
