HACKENSACK — In honor of Veterans Day, Bergen County veterans and active-duty service members are invited to enjoy a free round of golf at any of the County’s six golf courses from Monday, Nov. 11 through Friday, Nov. 15. This initiative is made possible by Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, the Board of County Commissioners, the County Parks Department, and the County’s Division of Veteran Services.

“Providing a free round of golf is a small token of our gratitude for the sacrifices our veterans and service members have made to protect our freedoms,” said County Executive Jim Tedesco. “We hope this gesture provides a moment of relaxation and enjoyment for those who have given so much. On behalf of Bergen County, I extend our deepest thanks to all veterans and active-duty military personnel.”
