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.

Not a fan

I’ll start out by saying I was probably a little too tough on the amenities because they are constructing a brand new club house which looks like it’s going to be great.

Unfortunately the layout of the course is really poorly designed. Lots of tees that are really pretty close within range of a bad shot. My group almost got hit 3 different times within 10 feet. Not to mention their driving range is wedged between 2 holes and one fairway was littered with practice balls. Some of their ponds need to be cleaned out because they’re just loaded with poop and it makes the front few holes smell like a sewage plant. Staff wasn’t friendly until we made some jokes to cheer them up. They were however on top of everything, they might not have been the nicest, but they did their jobs well, kept pace of play going and didn’t give us any trouble. Definitely not a course for beginners and overall a good price for what it is but I probably won’t try this one out again unless the better choices are gone.

Traps Need Sand not Dirt

The traps are very difficult due to challenging lips and deepness but hitting out of dirt and not sand makes them impossible for an amateur like me and detracted from an otherwise well played round. They were not fair withouit sand.

Great course in an area where there are very few public courses. They would do well to continue with building of pro shop and club house.
