Bethpage Green
Classic public parkland
Green is useful, not essential. It is a good arrival-day round if you want the Bethpage campus without immediately making everyone question their life choices.

Must play
Bethpage Black
Bethpage Black is the headline and the filter.
Must play
Bethpage Red
Red is not the consolation prize.
Strong play
Bethpage Blue
Blue is the practical third Bethpage course.
Strong play
Bethpage Yellow
Yellow is the safety valve.
Strong play
Pound Ridge Golf Club
Pound Ridge is the right Westchester splurge if the group cares about architecture.
Strong play
Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point
Ferry Point is a very New York golf product: dramatic, expensive, slightly overhyped, and still worth playing once if the skyline matters
Strong play
Montauk Downs State Park
Montauk Downs is excellent in the right trip and annoying in the wrong one.
Strong play
Hudson Hills Golf Course
Hudson Hills is the grown-up depth play.
