Bethpage Black’s ‘Beast’ 15th Hole Demands Power and Precision

The par-4 15th, “The Beast,” is Bethpage Black’s toughest test. At 477 yards, it bends left to an elevated green 50 feet above the fairway, protected by deep bunkers and sharp tiers. Miss the fairway, and reaching is near impossible. With its slope and intimidation, this hole often defines rounds, punishing even the slightest error.
