Course Improvements

New in late 2005:

A Tee Box has been built for new red and gold tees on #8 close to the tip of the fairway. A new tee box was also built for the red tees on #11 shortening this hole to 90 yards from the reds. New cart paths have been built for #1 and #3 making the paths less steep. Construction of a new cart path on #18 down to the bridge is slated to be finished in the spring of 2006.

Airway Meadows G.C. is constantly improving conditions and layout of our Upstate New York golf course. Opened in 1999, it will never really be "done". There is always a new idea to speed play or to assist golfers to have a smooth favorable round of golf. Annually, course improvements will be updated here.

#1 Green Area Improvements completed in the Fall of 2004

The left side of the #1 green area of the golf course was cleared of brush. Grass seed was planted providing an additional 30 feet of rough to the left of the new cart path. Close to the green on the hill, new sod was planted to offer immediate use and to offer a completed look. This provides an additional 20 feet to the new cart path. In all 50 feet of new landing area. It now can support any errant shots that are hit too far left and should help the golfer be less hesitant to aim their shot at the green directly and have less worry about hitting #10 green area. Also, the cart path was moved winding down to the left further then turning down and around to the Brooklyn Bridge. The path has a gradual slope making it easier to manage with a motorized cart. These improvements should improve pace of play.

#11 Green and Tee

May 15, 2005 Airway Meadows Golf Course announces that the newly expanded #11 Green area is scheduled to open by the end of May. Over 1,000 square feet has been added to the green along with a new drainage system. Golfer feed back to date has been excellent. No temporary greens were used during the project. The original green has been in use the entire time.

#6 Women's Tee

This new raised tee box was opened for use in late fall of 2004.

#10 Green Area

A brush clearing project began in 2004 and plans are to complete it in 2005. This will help the golfer find their ball if hit to the right of #10 Green and therefore increase pace of play. The #10 Green is performing nicely since it was improved in fall of 2003 and in use in spring 2004.

Hole # 10 Green Reconstruction

"What a difference these improvements have made for your golf game! Airway Meadows is a much difference course than it was when we opened our doors in 1999."
