Eisenhower Golf Course - Golf on Long Island

Category: Golf

THE BLUE COURSE, one of three 18-hole golf courses at Eisenhower Park, was designed in 1951 by Robert Trent Jones, a major 20th-century architect of American courses. Born in England in 1906, Jones emigrated to the U.S. as a youngster and ultimately embarked on a career that saw him create or remodel some 500 golf courses throughout the U.S. over the span of seven decades.

The Blue course measures 6,049 yards from the middle tees and 5,717 yards from the forward tees. Like Eisenhower’s White course, the Blue has identical par-three holes side by side, as well as elevated greens. A new irrigation system has been installed as part of ongoing improvements on this course.

THE RED COURSE, one of three 18-hole golf courses at Eisenhower Park, has a storied history. Originally, it was part of the exclusive Salisbury Golf Club, begun by wealthy Long Islanders such as A.T. Stewart, a 19th-century retailer and property magnate who created the planned Village of Garden City out of the prairie known as the Hempstead Plains.

THE WHITE COURSE, at Eisenhower measures 6,932 yards from the championship tees, 6,399 yards from the middle tees, and 5,357 yards from the forward tees. The course has elevated greens with 22 holes, as the par three’s have double identical holes. In recent years, 38 green side bunkers on the White course were renovated and 15 new tees constructed.
