New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-04-02

The only place in the United States. at
the present time, where several lS-hoie
golf courses are grouped in one play
ground is at Pinehurst, \. c., which Is
several hundred miles from Broadway
How about having a similar GOLF
PLAYGROUND thirty miles from
Broadway?
YOU are TO have such a Coli Play
ground.
The big difference between the Pine
hurst Coli Park and the New York orolf
Park will be the price OF getting to the
latter-thc cost OF playing at the latter
and the cost OF staying at the latter
The difference is very great. The cost
OF two weeks at Pinehurst will pay Tor
at least fifty days OF golf at the New
York Golf Park.
The several lS-hoie courses OF the
NEW YORK GOLF PARK will be
verv much better than the Pinehurst
courses because the soil is better suited
10 golf purposes At Pinehurst they
have sand putting greens, and II is diff
cult TO grow any turf through the far
greens. The New York Coli Park will
have fine grass greens and wonderful
turf
Pinehurst is very popular golhng
center because many people can play
there with comfort-because the courses
are kept in fine condition-and because
plaving over them is managed in bust
ness-like way.
The popularity OF playing golf at
Pinehurst and the great financial success
which has come to that place prompted
the idea OF establishing the NEW
YORK GOLF PARK.
Pinehurst started with one 9-hole
course several years ago. Then followed
the development OF an l8-hole course;
then the second and third lS-holc
courses. Now fourth l8-hole course is
in process Of construction.
The courses are literally patronized
bv people from all parts Of the United
States from the middle OF October until
the middle OF April. There is no playing
from May to October because it is too
hot.
Golf can be played at the NEW
YORK GOLF PARK all the year
round, barring the short period when
the courses are covered with snow.
This golf park will also be literally
patronized. 1t should be a greater imam
cial success than Pinehurst, because OF
more courses, more players and Its close
proximity to New York, which has more
golfers than any other community Ill the
United States.
The cost OF developing it will not be
nearly so great as was the original cost
of starting the Pinehurst enterprise and
developing the 9-hole course there
THE NEW YORK GOLF PARK
will be located at MASSAPEQUA,
l.. /.
Five hundred and sixty-two acres OF
land have been purchased from the
Massapequa Shore Co. which is suffi-
Gent for the construction OF five very
fine lS-hoic golf courses, besides allow
