NYC Metro Area
Pound Ridge Golf Club
Modern Pete Dye daily-fee
Pound Ridge is the right Westchester splurge if the group cares about architecture. It is not close to Bethpage in any useful way, so make it a deliberate day, not a casual add-on.

ABSOLUTELY gorgeous course. I have nothing but the most incredible things to say about this place. While it is a little overpriced in my opinion, if you can make it happen, I definitely think everyone should play this course at least once.

Bethpage Black
Bethpage Black is the headline and the filter.
Must play
Bethpage Red
Red is not the consolation prize.

Blue is the practical third Bethpage course.

Bethpage Yellow
Yellow is the safety valve.
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.
