(White Plains, NY) – In light of updated guidance from New York State, Westchester County Executive George Latimer has announced that two of the county-owned golf courses – Mohansic in Yorktown Heights and Hudson Hills in Ossining – will open for play on Saturday, April 25.
Reservations can be made at golf.westchestergov.com.
County Executive George Latimer said: “We have been able to keep our County parks open because we understand that everyone needs to get out and enjoy some fresh air during these times when we are all advised to stay home. We are balancing the desire of those who want to enjoy the outdoors along with the priority of stopping the spread of the virus. These two courses will serve as a test case of our ability to balance both priorities. We believe we will successfully accomplish both goals.”
The courses will be operated under the following guidelines:
- Golfers are asked to check in early for tee times. A minimal number of guests are allowed in the pro shop at one time.
- Tee times have longer intervals between them and reduction of operating hours is being implemented.
- Flagsticks are to be left in the holes untouched and bunkers are not to be raked by golfers.
- Rakes, ball washers and coolers have been removed from the courses.
- Golfers are instructed to not gather in groups or clusters while on or off the golf course.
- Restaurants at both courses are closed for both seated and takeout service.
