Golf is an exacting sport. Sometimes all you want to do is tee up a tiny golf ball and hit it as hard as humanly possible. If that’s your cup of tea, the Farmingdale Golf Center at Skydrive is the place to go. The driving range, one of LI’s best for the second year in a row, offers 72 greened stalls on two floors, and balls by the bucket. Few things can compare to a quiet night spent taking a 3-wood to 100 golf balls.
