Eisenhower Park Golf Club


About this course
The Blue Course at Eisenhower Park Golf Club occupies part of a large public facility in East Meadow, on Long Island's Nassau County flatlands. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the course in 1950 as part of a broader park development that transformed former Salisbury Plains airfield land into recreational space. The layout reflects Jones's mid-century design principles, with strategic bunkering, water hazards integrated into several holes, and greens that reward accurate approach play. The course plays across relatively level terrain typical of Long Island's glacial outwash plain, with mature tree-lined fairways that have developed over seven decades. Jones incorporated his characteristic features—fairway bunkers positioned to challenge tee shots at specific landing zones, greenside bunkering that frames putting surfaces, and modest elevation changes created through earthwork. The routing includes several holes where water comes into play, requiring golfers to manage risk on both tee shots and approaches. Eisenhower Park serves a high volume of public play and hosts regional amateur competitions throughout the season. The facility's three courses—Blue, Red, and White—make it one of the busiest municipal golf operations in the New York metropolitan area. The Blue Course represents Jones's work during a period when he was establishing the template for strategic public course design, balancing challenge for accomplished players with playability for the broader golfing public. The course operates within the park's broader recreational infrastructure, which includes practice facilities and a clubhouse serving all three layouts.

Getting there
Eisenhower Park Golf Club sits within easy reach of New York's major aviation hubs - LaGuardia (LGA) and JFK International are both roughly thirty minutes away by car, with Newark (EWR) offering a third option for those approaching from New Jersey. The drive from any of these airports carries you west through the outer boroughs and into Nassau County, a transition marked by the gradual shift from urban density to the tree-lined residential streets of Long Island's North Shore. Within minutes of departing the expressway, you arrive at the verdant expanse of Eisenhower Park itself, where the golf club's manicured grounds emerge as a serene counterpoint to the metropolitan energy you've just left behind - a rare pocket of championship golf architecture preserved in one of America's most densely populated regions.
