History:

Broadacres Golf Course was built in 1962 and takes its name from the farm that the land the course was built on. The course was originally built for the employees and patients of the former Rockland State Hospital now the Rockland Psychiatric Center to provide a recreation area and venue to play golf. Throughout the ensuing years, much of the property was consolidated into a much smaller facility and as a result the number of individuals who used the golf course declined. The state eventually relinquished control to private operators and club memberships were then offered to the general public.
