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.
“Had the Black course never been built, the Red, with its many strong doglegged holes, might have received similar acclaim,” commented Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses. “It hasn’t got the big, bold bunkering of the Black, but the opening and closing holes are far superior, the 5th is a fine long hole, and the short par-4 6th gives aggressive tee shots the cold shoulder.”
