It's a three-peat.
Bethpage Black is America's top muni, according to Golfweek, which rated the local legend #1 in 2009, 2010 and again in 2011 when it announced its list of Best Municipal Courses earlier this month. The latest accolades arrive only two months after the Black Course earned the top spot in Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play in New York State and picked up a #21 ranking in the magazine's Classic Courses list.
As has become an annual tradition, Bethpage Red and state-park sister course Montauk Downs followed a few tiers behind the Black. The Red Course dropped slightly from #17 in 2010 to #21, while Montauk Downs fell one spot to #34.
Golfweek's Best Muni list rates the top 50 government-owned layouts nationwide. Courses are evaluated and ranked based on conditioning, routing, variety, memorability and other categories.
