The 9 @ Merrick GC Junior Programs

The 9 @ Merrick GC Junior Programs take place on a nine-hole, par-36, MGA-rated golf course stretching over 3,200 yards that includes elevated greens, generous fairways, and a practice putting green. The programs use a facility that offers personal instruction from certified PGA and LPGA teaching professionals and access to a Pro Shop with golfing equipment and apparel. The course is described as Nassau County’s Best 9 Hole Course and Nassau County’s 9 Hole Gem, and it is part of New York’s only Golf Channel Academy location along with Bethpage and Montauk State Parks.
