The City of Glen Cove’s municipal golf course will receive a $2.2 million sprinkler system, overhauling the decades-old apparatus at the 18-hole grounds.

The project is part of a $6.9 million spending plan passed by the Glen Cove City Council earlier this year to address infrastructure issues. The Glen Cove City Council voted 7-0 Aug. 26 to award National Lawn Sprinklers the irrigation replacement contract for Glen Cove Golf Club. City officials have said the course's archaic sprinkler system is plagued by issues and requires significant maintenance.

“It’s much needed,” Glen Cove Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck said in a phone interview.

The monthslong construction effort is set to begin this fall and is expected to be completed before the golf season resumes next spring, Panzenbeck said.
