Bethpage Black will host the Ryder Cup this weekend, nearly 12 years after the initial announcement that it would be the tournament's host venue.

"Ryder Cup 2024" merchandise was on sale during the 2019 PGA Championship at the Long Island course, but because of the pandemic in 2020, the Ryder Cup reverted to its old format of being played in odd-numbered years. That change was first forced after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Fans in the New York area have had to wait another year to return to the course, but the wait is sure to be well worth it.

Dubbed "The People's Country Club," the major-championship course is open to the public and is often the site of overnight camping for golfers planning to play the course the following morning.

Before players tee off, they are greeted with a warning sign:

"The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers," the infamous sign reads ahead of the right dogleg on the first hole.
