In a move that Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman called among the first of its kind, the town is preserving the Southampton Golf Range on County Road 39 in Tuckahoe through the community preservation fund. The town purchased a recreational easement on the 13-acre property for $6.5 million in a deal that closed on Friday.
The easement allows for the continuation of the existing uses: a golf range, a miniature golf course, a peddle-cart track, and a seasonal ice-skating rink.
