Coronavirus Update: Stonebridge open with precautions, Simplay closed

Add Stonebridge Golf Links to the list of Long Island golf courses taking extra non-contact precautions to keep players safe on and around the course.  According to head pro Iain Wilson, the course is implementing the following changes:

• Golf carts are being disinfected before a round and after
• Cups have been raised so no flag contact is needed; ball hits metal cup - considered in ("Good feedback" so far)
• Pro shop moved to open area and disinfected multiple times an hour
• Door left open for less contact

Not far away in Hauppauge, Simplay, the indoor multi-sport facility with golf simulators and leagues, has closed until further notice.

Timber Point Golf Course -- a Suffolk County muni -- is delaying its 2020 reopening until April 1.  The other three courses in the Suffolk Parks system are still on for their originally scheduled March 20 reopenings.
