Bethpage Black

Hilly terrain on Long Island means a walking round that demands something from you. Seven thousand, four hundred sixty-eight yards over 18 holes with a slope of 155. Your legs and lungs work as hard as your swing. The 15th, a par 4, is the number one handicap hole. It doesn't hide what it is. In a crowded Northeast market, a course that stays walking allowed isn't an accident. The policy honors history and keeps pace honest. Green fees run $65 to $150. Premium public rates. You pay for the walk.
