The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black is set to be one of golf’s most thrilling events. As thousands of spectators prepare to descend on Long Island, navigating the logistics of getting to and from the course is crucial for a stress-free experience. Forget the headaches of traffic and parking—this comprehensive guide breaks down all your 2025 Ryder Cup Bethpage Black transportation options.
For a truly seamless and luxurious experience, consider booking with Cozy Travel, your premier partner for event transportation. We specialize in providing a comfortable, reliable, and stress-free journey, so you can focus on the action on the course, not the road.
1. Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Complimentary Shuttle Service
For many attendees, the Long Island Rail Road is the most convenient and recommended way to get to the Ryder Cup.
- The Route: Take a Ronkonkoma Branch train to the Farmingdale Station.
- The Connection: From there, a complimentary shuttle service will transport you directly to the Main Entrance of Bethpage Black.
- A Word of Caution: There will be no public parking available at the Farmingdale Station or anywhere within Bethpage State Park. The LIRR will also be running extra trains during the event to accommodate the expected crowds.
2. General Public Parking and Shuttle Service at Jones Beach State Park
If you plan to drive, you will not be able to park at or near the golf course. The official public parking lot is located at Jones Beach State Park.
- Where to Park: Drive to the General Parking Lot at Jones Beach State Park (1 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, NY 11793).
- Parking Passes: You must purchase your parking pass in advance through the official ticketing partner, SeatGeek.
- The Shuttle: From Jones Beach, you will take a free PGA shuttle bus to the Ryder Cup Main Entrance Bus Terminal. Be prepared for a shuttle ride of about 30 minutes, and build in extra travel time.
3. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) and Taxi Services
Using a rideshare service is a viable option, but it comes with a specific set of rules to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
- Designated Drop-Off: There is a designated Rideshare Lot located at the Ryder Cup Main Entrance (99 Quaker Meeting House Road, Farmingdale, NY 11735).
- Rideshare Only: Only vehicles booked through Uber and Lyft will be permitted to enter this lot. Drop-offs from taxis, limousines, or personal vehicles are strictly prohibited in this area.
