The Tillinghast design is home to some of the tightest fairways and thickest rough a golfer will find. You don't play Bethpage for the greens, you play for the journey to them. They're considerably flat and slow, which people dislike, but I think it adds a sense of fairness back to the golf course.

Always living in the shadow of its big brother the black course the red course is a true hidden gem. Without the black course right by its side im a firm believer this course would be seen as a top 5 public course in the state. Same thoughtful routing done by the legendary A.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Stamford, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
