Golf
Please note: We are in the process of transitioning to an all-electric golf cart fleet, complete with GPS units to enhance your play. As a result, we have contracted with a new vendor and our golf cart inventory may be low based on demand/rounds of play per day, especially at our Eisenhower courses. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we look to improve Nassau County Golf!
The Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums provides a total of seven golf courses to accommodate players with a range of skills. In addition, there are three driving ranges, and for children and families two mini-golf courses in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow and Cantiague Park in Hicksville.

At Eisenhower Park, three of Long Island’s finest golf courses are open to the public, including the famed "Red" Course. The Red Course has a storied history, having been designed by prominent golf architect Devereux Emmet in 1914 and having hosted Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) championships as far back as 1926. More recently, the Red course played host to the PGA Tour’s Commerce Bank Championship.
A second championship-level course, the “White,” was designed by Robert Trent Jones, a major 20th-century architect of American courses. Jones also designed the third 18-hole course at Eisenhower, the “Blue.”
