A Message from the County Executive
I don't know about you,
but after the recent storms which dumped more than a foot of
snow on Westchester, I am really looking forward to playing some
golf on a warm sunny day. If you are also eager to play golf
this year, give our golf courses a try. We are continuously
investing to improve them and the programs we offer to reward
our customers.
One
such program, Golfer Rewards, gives you a free round for every
25 you play. Last season this program was very successful and we
are bringing it back again this year.
For
those of us who can't get enough of golf there is the replay
program, which enables golfers to play a second round of golf on
the same course that very day at a discounted price
This
year we dropped the additional fee on golf carts equipped with
the Global Positioning Satellite system. Now you can enjoy the
convenience of this great system, which is successful throughout
the world, for free.
Throughout
our golf courses there have been many physical improvements. In
fact, we are in the midst of a $38 million plan to improve golf
courses. If you played on our courses in the last few years, you
have seen the results. Each one of our "original" golf
courses has already been rehabilitated and, of course, Hudson
Hills begins its third season.
Golfing
on our courses is better than ever. Have fun this season on our
courses. I hope to see you out there
As
always, have a great game!
County
Executive, Andy Spano

Westchester Puts $$in Golf Courses
If you have played county courses in the last five years, you know that
there is much more than golf going on. The county courses have been at
the center of a major on-going capital program, which when completed
will invest up to $38 million in county golf. Tees, greens, club houses,
restaurants, fairways, cart paths, practice greens, parking lots, signs
and more have been upgraded or will be improved as part of this program.
Here are some highlights:
DUNWOODIE,
Yonkers
In 2005, Dunwoodie underwent a
major rehabilitation that renewed all 18 tees as well as expanding the
3rd, 5th and 8th greens.
Golf paths were paved and many were rerouted to ease access. Included in
the project were renovated fairways, as well as new entrance road
lighting and an upgraded electrical system in the clubhouse. Still to
come is a new structure to store 70 golf carts away from the elements.
