Course Highlights
This South Shore waterfront layout consistently earns praise for its lush, well-maintained fairways and strategic hole angles near the water. Personable staff and a smooth pace of play make this an outstanding value for Long Island golfers.

The Golf Club at Middle Bay is located on Long Island's south shore overlooking the barrier islands of Jones Beach, Point Lookout, and Lido Beach. Nearly every hole looks out across water. Though the golf course is just an hour outside of New York City, you'll feel as though you've been whisked off to an out-of-town resort. The layout has a challenging design that will test your accuracy with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. Wind will also be a factor on this golf course. The Golf Club at Middle Bay is a tough but fair layout that players of all skill levels will enjoy. In addition to the golf course, there is also a driving range available.

Review

Expensive, starter and ranger would keep bugging us about pace of play saying we are “12” minutes behind. The starter did not let us tee off until 15 minutes after our tee time.

Ranger Needed

Middle Bay is a course that I have played many times, and have really enjoyed. However, yesterday was a slog.

I had to quit after 12 holes, because we were already at 4 hours, and at the rate we were going, it was looking like it would be 5 1/2 hours to finish 18 holes. I hope this was an aberration. They have had rangers on the course in the past, and one would have been a welcome sight yesterday.

Everyone thinks they're a Pro. Where's the Ranger?

Course was/is always in nice shape...even after 3 solid days of rain... Staff was as always pretty friend. Cart guys and food people very good. Problem was the 4 schmos in front of us that thought they were playing the masters. Had 3 groups backed up behind them and no Ranger?...we just outright told them were passing them on #10. We passed them and had nobody in front of or behind us the whole back nine. Idiots

Amazing

The course is in great shape. The fairways are lush and well mainstay. The greens are in good condition as well. The pace was a little slow There was a group shoot is that was slow but the ranger talked to them. It picked up a little.

Disappointed

The course is good but the cost is too much. At close to 90 dollars they need to get grass on all areas. The greens are great but fast the tee boxes need work. Red at Eisenhower is much better and a lot cheaper

Beautiful waterfront course!

Love this golf course. The staff is great. The Head Pro Ronnie is the best! The Ranger Neil is very helpful and keeps pace of play moving along. The greens are in great shape and rolling fast. The cart service is excellent. The views along the water holes are spectacular. This gem on the south shore is a must play. Well done Middle Bay property owners!!!

Nice course

This is a nice course but a few of the holes are close to each other. The staff was friendly and the cares have GPS. Some of the holes have great views of the water.

Middle Bay is in good condition for early in the season. Some tee boxes need a little work before the Summer, but overall everything is in nice shape especially the greens.

Not what I expected for start of season

Lots of repairs going on. Many tee boxes were in horrible shape. Many cart paths were bad or unpaved. The new clubhouse and pro shop is nice, but they should have built an adjoining restaurant to replace the old cafe. The cafe needs a total renovation. The new electric golf carts are powerful, but the gps should indicate other golf carts in front of you so that you can judge where the group in front is at on blind shots.

This place has the potential to be much better!
