Bethpage State Park — Green Course

The Green Course is the shortest and friendliest of Bethpage's five layouts — Devereaux Emmet's 1923 design later modified by Tillinghast. At just over 6,200 yards, it's where higher-handicap players and families go when the Black and Red are too intimidating. Don't confuse friendly with boring though — the crowned greens still require precision. State park pricing makes all five Bethpage courses the best public golf value on Long Island.
