Mangano: County Driving Ranges Are Open To The Public Year Round

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano is pleased to announce that Nassau County has three driving ranges, all of which are open to the public year round. Each range is conveniently located within close proximity to nearby golf courses in Nassau County.

The largest, at Eisenhower Park, has 60 bays and spans more than 400 yards to the far fence. Situated across the street from the Park’s three 18-hole golf courses, it affords golfers the opportunity to practice before they play. Another centrally located Park, Cantiague, provides residents with a driving range that includes 35 bays, with heated and covered stalls, which is ideal for practicing in inclement weather. It provides a distance of 270 yards to the back fence. The third, located in North Woodmere Park, has a driving range facility with 22 bays and a distance of 200 yards to the back fence. Its location on the water in the southwest part of Nassau County offers a scenic setting while practicing.
