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.

Challenging but fair Golf Course

I play this course regularly. The course layout will have you using most of the clubs in your bag. Greens can be anywhere from quick to very fast but roll true. On a windy day you're going to have your hands full on the holes along the bay. A good round demands smart play.

There is a very decent all club driving range and a large putting green for warming up. Staff is friendly and rangers encourage calls to the clubhouse if you encounter slow play and they will be out to rectify it right away.

There is a temporary clubhouse so any 19th hole gatherings will need to be done outside of the course.

Overall I consider it in the top 7 public golf courses in Nassau and Suffolk

Forward Tee Boxes need to be level!

Overall the course is in good condition and the pace of play is great. However, the forward tee boxes are sloped on many holes. Any chance you can address this? I have mentioned this to the starters and pro shop over the years and nothing has changed.

Getting dangerous

Greens were great. Fairways were suffering in spots due to all the heavy rain. The 13th hole is by the driving range. There had to be 50 range balls in the 13th fairway. Only time till someone gets kinked. Do not play a yellow ball at 13!

Great course

Great course:

Price $77 : other courses are a bit more well rounded for $75 price range.

Bunkers were cement, club bounces off the sand 0/5

Fairways were perfect 5/5

Rough was full and difficult 5/5

No patches or clumps of dirt 5/5

Around the green was full 5/5

Tee boxes like any public course weren't flat, little hilly 3/5 could of been worse

Course layout 4/5, some tee boxes seemed right on top of greens. Wish there was a bit more space.

Staff, food or cart girl 5/5

Biggest complaint: lots of bird feathers that are all white. Can't find your ball on some holes that are in the middle of the fairway. Would like to see those holes that neighbor the bay to be cleaned more often.

Overall great course. Little bit pricey. I rather snag a hot deals than pay full price. Will play again

Overall great course

Left my pitching wedge on 18th green

Enjoy playing here, the starter Lou is a friendly and genuine guy. Usually a good pace of play.

Unfortunately this past time I left my pitching wedge on the 18th green, didn’t realize until the next day. Called and no one turned it in. Called a week later and still no one turned it in. F’n people suck.
