Bethpage State Park (Black)

Burbeck and Tillinghast's 1936 public bruiser at Bethpage State Park — the 'People's Country Club' on Long Island — hosted the 2025 Ryder Cup, where Europe won 15–13 to become the first road team to take the Cup since 2012. Also a two-time U.S. Open venue (2002, 2009). Walk-up tee times and a warning sign at the first tee say it all.
