Maple Moor Golf Course Reopens After Renovation

WHITE PLAINS, NY — A county golf course reopened July 4 with all new bunkers and sand traps, a new irrigation system and extensive renovations around the course. All 18 holes of Maple Moor Golf Course in White Plains are now open.

"Drainage issues have plagued us in the past but thanks to this project, players will no doubt appreciate how we are able to capture the water on the course and actually use it to good advantage," said County Executive George Latimer, in a press release.

County Parks Deputy Commissioner Peter Tartaglia explained that water that once left the course underwater, especially on the eighth and ninth fairways, will now feed the irrigation system.

"The course looks more beautiful than ever, too," he said.

According to the county, the improvements to Maple Moor include:

• Complete renovation of the first, eighth, ninth and 18th fairways, re-contoured to provide better pitch for stormwater runoff;
• Partial renovations to the third, fifth fairways;
• New tees on the ninth and 18th holes and all par 3 holes;
• New drainage system that includes capturing stormwater in a holding pond for re-use and to decrease the amount of runoff into the Hutchinson River;
• New irrigation system fed by the holding pond, enabling re-use of stormwater;
• New cart paths and curbing throughout the course;
• All new bunkers and sand traps;
• Beautification including new landscape plantings.

Golf carts will be restricted to cart paths only in most areas until further notice.

Play through July 7 will be by walkup only or by telephone directly to the course at 914-995-9200.

The online reservation system is now taking reservations for play July 8 and beyond. GolfNow reservations have also started to be accepted.

County officials said that construction will continue during the season but will have little to no impact on golfers. The restaurant, halfway house and pro shop are fully operational.

The contractor for the $5.5 million capital project was MVM Construction.

Maple Moor Golf Course is located at 1128 North St. in White Plains.
