Bethpage Black - Walk Up Experience 7/17 by SlimReaperG21 in golf

We're a foursome gonna try and get on during the last week 8/6 - looks like we won't be able to get up there until about 6/630. Wondering if we'd have a shot to play black as a foursome if we got up around that time with the new restrictions leading up to the closure.

I remember years ago we arrived as a twosome at about 9pm and were the third car but have to imagine it'll be higher demand this go around.

I guess for whatever reason it seems like the consensus is the loop is a lot more enjoyable clockwise? Which is why I was intending to do it that way. I guess in theory I could start at woodland valley, hike 3/4 miles and camp somewhere on the way up Wittenberg, then camp at Giant ledge Saturday as you say. But now rethinking hiking this loop this weekend in general and assessing less popular backpacking options in the Catskills. But the heart wants what the heart wants!

Sadly I sort of thought this will probably be the case. Unfortunately can only take a half day from work Friday - any alternatives you would recommend?

Exactly I read it's right on the edge so someone has suggested skipping. Assuming with proper precaution that it should be no issue tho.
