Bethpage is a New York state park with five eighteen-hole golf courses the Black, Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow in decreasing order of difficulty.

The Black Course became the first public owned golf course to host a US Open, which was won by Tiger Woods in 2002 and in 2009 by Lucas Glover. The layout is an immense challenge as it's routed along contoured fairways lined with sand bunkers and stands of mature trees providing one unique hole after another. It generally provides plenty of width off the tee with the fairways bordered by deep rough and the greens fairly generous with slight to no undulations. It's a walking only layout at 7,468 from the tips, par 71, 78.1/152, course/slope ratings with four shorter tee boxes. The course was designed by Joe Burbeck with A.W. Tillinghast as the consultant and opened in 1936 with a redesign by Rees Jones.

The Red Course is over similar terrain along broad fairway corridors carved through the deep woods with doglegs left and right. It provides a varied topography of woodland holes 1-7 and 15-18 and wide-open, fescue-lined holes 8-14 with less in the way of sand bunkers than the Black and more sedate greens. It can play to 7,014 yards off the back tees, 72.2/127, course/slope ratings with two shorter tees, designed by Joe Burbeck, Dev Emmet and possibly A.W. Tillinghast.
