The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The oldest course on the Bethpage property, a Devereux Emmet design later touched by Tillinghast, with a parkland feel, small undulating greens and the gentlest terrain of the five. A classic muni, slow paced but a strong value with genuine Golden Age touches.
Consistently praised
- Small, wavy, character-filled greens with original Emmet coffin-bunker touches.
- A shorter, gentler walk than the rest of Bethpage; strong value for a classic-style public round.
Worth knowing
- A couple of green complexes are quirky enough to feel unfair to first-timers; pace can drag.
Golfers recommend
- Treat the greens as the defense, not the length.
- Use it as a warmup or shoulder-season Bethpage day.
