Bethpage Black from WikiPedia:
The Bethpage Black Course is the most difficult of the five golf courses at Bethpage State Park on Long Island. In 2002 the Black Course became the first publicly owned and operated course to host the U.S. Open. It also hosted the 2009 U.S. Open.
The Bethpage Black is one of the featured courses in the video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, by EA Sports. It is said by many gaming experts that this is the most difficult course in the game.
The tournament was won by Tiger Woods, being the only golfer to score under par for the tournament. The Tournament was seen as one of the most difficult and exciting U.S. Opens in history,[citation needed] breaking attendance records and creating a boisterous atmosphere for the U.S. Open. It was this event that the 17th Hole became comparable to that of the 16th hole of the Phoenix Open due to the "Amphitheatre" atmosphere of the hole. This was partially caused by the giant stands erected parallel along both sides of the green, with a natural hill behind the green, creating a giant horseshoe of spectators. It was this event that the love affair between Phil Mickelson and the New York golf fan began to receive national spotlight.
