I Recommend This Course
Best value course at Bethpage
Of all the 5 courses at Bethpage, I played the Red the most. In my opinion it's the best value for the money. It's the most fairest course I played on. Not too ridiculously hard but will still punish you if you hit errant tee shots.

I Recommend This Course
Almost as good as the Black
If you ask the locals, they'll tell you the Red ranks right up there with the famed Black Course. In fact, if the Red got the same attention as the two-time U.S Open course, it might be on par with the Black,. As is, the Red is a terrific layout with plenty of challenge. From the back at 7,000 yards, it's all the golf most players can handle. Play it from the proper tees, and you've got a great test of golf, especially with the treacherous bunkering throughout.
