Not any at Bethpage State Park but like to play the Green Lakes State Park course. The greenskeeper at Green Lakes came up from Bethpage. It’s always a treat to go there and play .

Played all of those shown on the map ya posted.
Calvalry Club is sweet with huge greens. Their pro is from The Island and is a good dude.
The Links at Erie Village is relatively new and winds through a kinda new development. It too is fun.
Olde Oak used to be called Towne Isle and we played The Swamp Open at it just before Easter a few times. It’s flat. Haven’t played it in at least 30 years.

There’s lots of golf courses in CNY. Grass grows well here if it rains enough.

Enjoie in Endicott NY is a great public course to boot. The BC Open (Senior Tour) plays there every year.

There are a lot of nice courses around the area to play without driving too far.

Folks were demo-ing a couple robot mowers the last couple days.
Saw 1 cutting around the rough around the first tee and the other was crisscrossing a couple fairways.

They’re Husqvarna, quiet as a church mouse, with just a little whirling sound heard if yer right next to it.
