Bethpage Question

[souledge]

How does the Red course stack up to the Black? Want to see if it's the better value.

The Red Course was recently aerated. HOWEVER, I met a caddy outside of Bethpage and he tells me that the Red is in great shape. It's worth it BTW. Nice course.

Black is only like $20 more than the red so red is def not a better "value". Black is worth WAY more than the $20 difference. However, red is an excellent course if you can't get on Black.

Double that if you're not a NYS resident.

Red is an awesome course, and it's in way better condition than the Black. Worth every penny and nowhere near as hard to get on.

Red is a great course. Still, it's not the Black. Not even close IMO.

There's only one Black, but the Red is no slouch. Way less varied (lots of doglegs that play long in the prevailing winds), but yes, the opening hole's one of the best in the entire 5-course complex (not a par 4, no matter what the card says). And the Blue is also quite challenging, especially the front 9; #6 is another "par 4", even tougher than Red #1 (dogleg left, 2nd half is longer & uphill to the toughest green in the complex). Can't really go wrong teeing it up anywhere over there!
