Bethpage Black Pictures

These Bethpage Black pictures show Holes 1 through 18 of the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in New York.

There are actually five public golf courses within Bethpage State Park, run by the State of New York. But the Black Course is the famous one. Why? A couple reasons:

• Bethpage Black is ranked among the best public golf courses in the world.
• And it it considered one of the best courses of any type in the United States.

And then there's the fact that Bethpage Black is a U.S. Open venue, hosting the major championship in 2002 and again in 2009.

Legendary architect A.W. Tillinghast is credited by most sources as the designer of Bethpage Black; however, Golf Digest has cited contemporaneous accounts describing Tillinghast as only a consultant, and argues that Joe Burbeck deserves design credit.
