Both are public, both have held major championships, and both will punish you, just not with the same weapon. Bethpage Black is a New York state-park course, long and uphill, with carries off the tee a shorter hitter simply can't make and a walk that leaves you genuinely tired. Pinehurst No. 2 is barely long at all and has almost no rough; it takes its shots back around the greens, where the crowns push anything a fraction off line away from the hole. Bethpage asks how far you hit it. Pinehurst asks how well you chip.
