Tee time: Freeholders approve county’s first public golf course

HUDSON COUNTY – The Board of Chosen Freeholders approved a resolution Thursday to create a golf course near Lincoln Park on Jersey City’s west side, according to a published report.
The nine-hole course will be built on 60 acres of wasteland at Duncan Avenue. The wasteland was once used by the federal government.
The county will pay for the $12.7 million project through bonds. They also will help fund it through user fees.
They see a fall, 2012 completion date.
According to an article, “The site is currently being cleaned up with a $10.6 million federal EPA grant awarded last year. The project includes the restoration of 35 acres of wetlands along the Hackensack riverbank and around the Pulaski Skyway.”
