Most Over Rated Course on the Major Rotation

Actually, Camp David only has a single green with a couple of tee areas. Judging by the most current GoogleMaps image, it's currently undergoing renovation. The nearest course to the compound is Maple Run, which is quite possibly the worst pos golf course on the face of the Earth.

I've played Banff and I have played Highland Links. Highland Links is more spectacular. Both were exceptionally enjoyable.

Next year it's Winged Foot (imo a great US open course, probably the best), Harding park (looks good to me on TV, but many who've played it don't seem to agree), and royal at george's which I dont know much about other than having some sahara sized bunker.

PGA National hosted the 1987 PGA Championship, but obviously it's not in the majors regular rotation. With the PGA being played so early in the year now, it may get more consideration again. Of course, the Honda would have to be played somewhere else that year.

Thats the good thing about players being held there, at least that crappy track won't get to host a real major. Other than the par 5's, that course is useless

Standard CC? Since when do CCs have 36holes by Tilly, a golden age architect.

 

Most of Baltusrols strategic holes never make it on TV. Seeing the course on TV doesn't do it justice as in person. Large multitiered greens, sloping fairways and the mountainous terrain look flat on TV.

 

Tilly split multiple fairways distancewise forcing strategic play and added defenses against bomb n' gouge play a century ago.

 

There are many risk/ reward challenges, blind shots, required shot shaping around hazards/doglegs and yes a few blind shots.

 

After being on Bulle Rock and Baltusrol many times I can see why LPGA doesn't go back to Bulle Rock while USGA and PGA do go back to Baltusrol.

Different courses designed by probably the same architect for different purposes. Balty was designed to test players in tournaments. Bethpage was designed to be tough w/o any idea of hosting tournaments.

 

Balty is a somewhat mountainous mature tree lined parkland course w/ splt fairways and mounds.

Bethpage is an inland sandy hilly open w/ limited trees and mounds. Both course require strategic thinking and are not only drive and wedge play.

 

Bethpage is definitely usually tougher as the rough esp. for the US Open is allowed to grow belly button high 4ft off the fairway and thigh high 1ft off the fairway. However during the PGA Championship, rough was much, much lower. Thigh high fescue at worst areas not trambled down. Balty has been 2-4" thick rough and no fescue during the PGA Championships.

Just my opinion/preference is all. If I was picking major venues I would not pick PB for that reason alone. And I do agree it is a nice venue and good architecture. I wish they would pull a Coore and Crenshaw style reno on it though. Make it rugged and more natural as it was originally.

17 may be the best par 5 I ever played. The rest of the course is a good fair test just not particularly interesting as an "everyday" course.

I think you're exaggerating the rough issue. I'm standing by my original opinion. There's a tee on 15 at the Black that was built for the 2002 Open that STILL hasn't been used. Not once. And they rarely use the new tee they built on 7. USGA was unlucky with the weather in BOTH Opens. If the Black had played the way it CAN in June, i.e. dry, sunny and quite breezy, +5 would have won, possibly by a lot.

Ko

Everytime the US Open, PGA Championship and Barclays/Northern Trust has been to Bethpage, the course gets into multiple pros head. Ya hear them muttering and shaking their head as play.

A sizeable portion of the field eliminates themselves due the strategy, difficulty and the rough.

For boring TV golf Pinehurst have no rival major or not major course. Baltusrol and Bethpage are right up there on the list too, but exciting compared to long par four h*ll

I aint no big fan of PB either. the ocean is cool, but kinda strange with a course where all the exciting holes are on the front 9.

17 and 18 are not exactly boring but when the course turns left after the seaside holes its like the party is over. Like after 16th green @ AN.

Balty and most of the NorthEast are *definitely* over 90F in August and many days in May are also. Phils 2005 win featured all 90+F days, some in the 100+F and scores of patrons passing out daily. EMS, ambulances and the Red Cross were are on hand trying to reduce heat strokes and heat exhaustion cases.

August in NE is as hot as Florida and much of the south.

That didn't stop the last Balty PGA Championship in 2016. 285 is what most pros were hitting after the rain. Zero roll and unfortunately lift, clean & .... for some tournament days.

 

I'm surprised the old PGA August date didn't feature New England esp. Boston area courses. Thats a great way to moderate the heat.

If all you think of the 18th at PB is that it’s not boring, I don’t think lots of people will share your view.

The topography of the Northeast doesn’t have redeeming qualities? I don’t think this statement could be any more wrong. It’s among the best land for golf anywhere. Coastal or near coastal, sandy soil, rolling land with elevations, contours, etc.

PB 18 is a spectacular finishing hole. It always produces a lot of drama.

Sadly the they were done by a local firm after tillinghast left the project. As is they're very flat and not too interesting being so large.

 

Depending on who you believe, read the multiple GD articles, either Tilly consulted in depth, briefly or the superintendent built Black on his own.

Yes in many opinions, Black's weakest aspect is the greens & easier18th hole.

If the rough is up and youre playing the wrong tees you will lose 6-8 balls at least. i played with a guy who walked off after 9 because he lost 10 balls.We told him to move up a few sets of tees but he was fuming and refused. there are 3/4 forced carrys just to get to the fairway that some cant even make so its logical it being a muni and trying to speed up play that they would have signs and marshalls stating this

 

Actually believe its for multiple reasons:

1. Scare off the beginners & high handicapers

2. Lower # of rounds

3. Reduce complaints when the average round is 5.5hours. You were warned.

 

Fyi, played Black after the 2009 US Open when tents were still up & range was closed, you could've modified the sign to state most of the balls in the rough WILL NOT reach the ground!!!

Had 8-10 shots not reach the ground including around the green. Remember taking waist and thigh high swings to hit out.

No one plays from the Tournament Back tees except during the actual Tournaments.

 

Normally the rough isn't as deep as during the PGA Championship and definitely not both US Opens 2002 & 2009. Its definitely different early in May vs. later in the summer.

After working multiple tournaments, weeks everytime @each course, think Medinah is different almost apples to oranges to Baltusrol. Balty is on side of a mountain range, has more elelvation changes and Tilly strategies inc. split fairways and mounding.

 

Medinah is just long but that doesn't mean anything to pros after rain. All greens become a dart throwing contest. Pros now hit so long every course needs lengthening between majors or scores will go low unless bad weather occurs.
