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.

On the water so you expect some wind but this wind made it impossible to judge and I wouldnt judge a course based on this but the green were awful and did not hold when you hit them. The course is made hard for no reason takes the fun out of golf.

Not a terrible golf course not really a great one either. The last hole has a giant net that impedes on the shot and its a local rule if you hit the net you get to re tee. Its to protect the houses but it absolutely kills the round…

Great public golf course for the value. It is hard as it is easy. It is about as affordable as it gets $65 green fee. Only downside is round is 4:30-5+

Better than Pelham. Bit faster but still 5+ hours. Harder course - more narrow fairways. Challenging

The limited space creates tight fairways and funky designs that force you to strategize every shot. Tip: grab a tee time before 10am or you should expect a 6 hour round
