Second only to the 18 holes on the Black layout at the five-course Bethpage State Park complex, the Red course is known to some as “Baby Black,” giving ample indication of the challenge that awaits here.

Top100golfcourses.com is the best website when it comes to golf courses rankings. The sole reason I made an account is to save its reputation from being tarnished.
Although Bethpage Red is a solid course when compared to other courses across the country, especially public, it is no where near top 40 in the state of NY. Most would agree Montauk Downs, ranked in the 80s, is a better course. It is very disrespectful to put this course ahead of courses such as Huntington Country Club and Laurel Links, whose architecture and maintenance both exceed that of Red's.
That being said, Red, in absolute perfect condition would probably be worthy of 4 stars, and with a few architectural tweaks, maybe 4.5. But until then, please place Red where it belongs.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
