WESTPORT — Golfers can swing into spring — actually, day five of the new season — starting next week at the town’s Longshore Golf Course.

The fairways will be open for play Friday, March 25, as long as the famously unpredictable March weather is not below par, according to the Parks and Recreation Department.

“We are looking forward to the 2022 golf season,” Jennifer Fava, the town’s parks and recreation director, said in a statement announcing the start of the golfing season.

Golf pro Jon Janik and golf course superintendent Brad Brown “have been working hard to make sure the pro shop, staff, and course are ready for this new season,” Fava said.

“We hope you have a great season on the course.”

The halfway house concession on the golf course is not scheduled to open until Friday, April 1.

Westport residents who want to purchase or renew a handpass for the golf course can go online, or in person Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Parks and Recreation Department office in Longshore Club Park, 260 Compo Road South.

For day-of-play tee times, call 203-226-9785. The pro shop phone number is 203-221-0900.
