Bethpage State Park: Blue
Farmingdale, NY • Public
Overview
A.W. Tillinghast’s Blue course at Bethpage State Park was the first to open in 1935, followed by the Red and the famed Black shortly thereafter. Just a year later in 1936, the Blue hosted the U.S. Amateur Public Links. Today, only several of Tillinghast’s original holes on the Blue remain, as the course has undergone significant changes over the years as more courses were built on the property. The front nine is the stronger of the two sides, with plenty of elevation changes, while the back is flatter and more straightforward.

“Bethpage Blue is part of the impressive Bethpage Park and probably the 3rd or 4th best course on the property depending on who you ask. While not close to its big brother the Black Course, Bethpage Blue features some Tillinghast holes as well and is a fun course at a great price. Notable holes include the 4th, 6th, and 7th."

“Front nine provide some nice challenges requiring varying shot shapes. The back nine still keeps you aware of approach angles despite being a bit bland."
