Monstah Black

Not even sure where to begin with the superlatives! Staff is their greatest asset, the starters I met were so nice and welcoming and informative, Sam behind the bar was so nice and friendly, the greenskeepers are obviously the best at what they do as witnessed by how immaculate every bunker and blade of grass was. The overall aesthetic of this course is mind-blowing. With that said, the layout is straight forth if you can keep it in the fairway and get to the greens in regulation, however wind, crazy tall rough and meticulously carved bunkers all get you in the end to make your round super difficult but enjoyable. The par 3s were breathtaking. Walking only which I love. It's a challenging walk, but I prefer to walk and sometimes I get paired with people who are riding and I feel the need to rush, but here that wasn't the case. The getting on process although different I though was awesome. I slept overnight in my car and tailgated the night before all adding to an overall golf experience unlike any other. If you love golf, you absolutely owe it to yourself to experience Bethpage Black for yourself.

This is the absolute best golf course I have ever played. The cours is incredibly challenging, but fair. Only one or two holes don't have a forced carry onto the green. The price to play for a NY resident is amazingly low, for an out-of-stater it's expensive, but good for a once in every few years splurge. Oh yeah, and they have had a US Open or two, a PGA Championship, and a Ryder Cup.

Went for Ryder cup 25. This was very energetic and exciting. Very pack with fans. An experienced all golf fans should experienced.

Played again on Saturday August 2nd. Showed up at 3:45am as a single and chatted up a threesome in spot 10. They made me their 4th, and we got 9:30am on the Black! Dylan, Nick, and Scott were so kind! We had a great day, but hole 15 got me again with a double🤦🏻‍♂️! Can’t wait to get back after the Ryder Cup! Shout out to Dylan, Nick and Scott, I hope your family reunion was great💯! Hit it straight and play well⛳️
