If you’re looking for top golf courses in Upstate New York, I highly recommend Bethpage Black. It’s tough but offers a fantastic challenge for seasoned golfers, and the scenery is stunning!
The simulators are fun, but nothing beats the real deal! For a unique experience, try the courses along the Hudson River, like West Point. The views are incredible!
