  Every frickin' hole at Deathpage, I consider a par a win.  I hate that course with every breath I have.

  Many birdie chances there, maybe have to change your attitude(???)

  When I first joined I considered a bogey on #15 at BPB as a good score.

  BethPage is a little strange.   When I first started on WGT, this was my biggest challenge and I hated to play it.  Once the tiers were changed and the tees moved back, the length at BPB became less difficult to handle for me than STA and Kiawah which were formerly the easy courses.

  BPB in today's game is not difficult from the Legend tees, in fact it might be the weakest of the stroke play courses that we have.  You have to know how to play it, where to hit the ball on some holes, chances not to take on specific holes, etc. but as someone else mentioned, there are a lot of Birdies on this course.  I had a 56 on it the other day from the back tees with moderate wind and missed 2 putts that were inside 10 feet and had a par on one of the par 5's caused by a misclub, thought I was punching a 50 yard club when I had the 68 yard one, ended up with a long downhill putt instead of 5 feet.

  Birdies and pars can be made on every hole if you know this course.

  I still consider a bogey on BP #15 a "par" score, anything else is a pleasant surprise. It's the worst green and hardest hole to putt on of any in WGT in my opinion.

  Bethpage #7 as some ppl already said
  
  I didn't even play Bethpage before making Legend, now its my favorite course (somewhat..) especially when playing vs some lvl 90 masters.

  Bethpage 7 right hand pin.

  Yep, that's a "sucker pin" placement, easy to give in to the temptation to shoot directly at it when the best shot is more to the middle of the green, pin high and well left of the bunker and rough.  A very good shot might leave you a 15 ft birdie putt, and even a mediocre one leaves a makeable 30 footer and a fairly easy par at worst.
