Westchester County was set to open its public golf courses today, but recent weather conditions have led to a postponement.

County officials say the six Westchester County-owned cours will open on Friday, March 15, instead of today.

Westchester County owns and operates six 18-hole courses located in the north, central and southern areas of the county:

Dunwoodie

Hudson Hills

Maple Moor

Mohansic

Saxon Woods

Sprain Lake

Driving ranges are available at Mohansic, Sprain, Dunwoodie and Saxon Woods. The tee time reservation system is available for making reservations by calling 914-995-GOLF (4653) or using the online system.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port Chester…Read More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland counties…Read More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

Concerned View, both the village and the schools have rising expenditures. Costs go up every year -…Read More is this a surprise!? The village has the ability to cover up its rise in expenditures by jacking up fees for things like parking, permits, and the like. Didn't I just read an article about new parking meter fees and hours village wide? The school district have no choice but to present and explain its rise in expenditures. The taxpayer has to be smart enough to understand that the rise is unavoidable and reasonable given economic circumstances.

Concerned View, you need to sit down with Mr. Carriere and get on the same page on this issue. You…Read More seem to want the district to buoy the fund balance (or go over a cliff!) while Mr. Carriere wants the district to drain it and give it back to the taxpayers. You are confusing readers by being on such opposite pages on this big issue. It certainly makes me glad that neither of you are in charge of the school budget.
