The Park was developed from an estate owned by the Yoakum family and other surrounding properties in Farmingdale.The Yoakum family leased their estate to the Lenox Hills Corporation which subsequently built the Lenox Hills Country Club. In the early 1930s, the Bethpage Park Authority purchased the Lenox Hills Country Club and other adjacent properties to build Bethpage State Park.
Famed golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast was hired to design and oversee construction of three new golf courses (the Black, Red, and Blue) as well as modify the original Lenox Hills course, later known as the Green Course. Due to the increasing popularity and demand for golf, the Yellow Course designed by Alfred Tull was opened in 1958. Over 200,000 rounds are consistently played annually on the five courses at Bethpage, all of which start from the Clubhouse area.

Will be tough to beat the yanks in their home turf, but with a fair wind we might just give them a game.
members saying they’ve never seen the course like this.
Set up for the US power hitters.
Cannot wait for this!
wouldn't be able to stand it actually being there with those dicks
Stop being so precious
at least we are keeping them quieter at the moment 3-1 this morning would be unbelievable
I may have shouted at the tv that hollering 'in the hole' makes no fecking difference!
