The 16th is a par-4 that perfectly encapsulates the course’s blend of beauty and challenge. With a slight dogleg left, the hole demands a precise tee shot to avoid the deep rough and strategically placed bunkers that guard the fairway. The approach shot is equally demanding, as the green is small, well-protected, and features subtle undulations that make putting a true test of skill.

The air feels heavier here, as if the course itself is testing your resolve. Standing on the tee of the 17th at Bethpage Black, you face a par-3 that is both beauty and beast. The green is perched like a fortress, daring you to challenge its defenses.
