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.

Some nice holes along the water. Wind is always challenging. Course has some nice doglegs and makes you use every club in the bag. Greens were in good shape, some fairways had some rough patches but conditions are dry so that is to be expected. Hole 9 plays next to driving range so keep your eyes open. Course is very walkable. Course is not easy, it is relatively long from middle tees, couple that with wind off the water, narrow fairways on some holes, and doglegs the course is a test.

Did Covid get the rangers!

Course was in good shape but 75 bucks to play 12 holes in 3.5 hours is just no fun.Waited on every shot. No rangers doing anything. My group played the back tees and could barely reach the fairways. Having 300 yards to go on a par 4 on your second shot can’t be fun. Overpriced. Would only go back if other courses are aerating.

Home course

I live 40 plus minutes but it’s still my home course. Always in great shape and $75 with cart is a steal in NY. Nothing better for the price.

I can’t let this go without a comment. All the courses at Bethpage are in better shape than Middle Bay. Plus, as a senior, I play for 48 dollars, cart included. If I walked in off the street it would be 43 dollars. Longest round I played there this year on the Red, Green, and yellow is 4.5 hours. If 75 dollars is a steal in NY what is 48 bucks with courses that are in better shape. Plus the off course amenities stink at Middle Bay. Every year I ask when the clubhouse is gonna be finished, they tell me a month….never a year!

Range balls,safety

Holes next to golf range have an abundance of range balls all over the place, makes it very difficult to find your ball and dangerous, almost got hit by one. . Why isn't there a netted fence to prevent and protect,?

Fine Course with Horrible Personnel in the office

I have played this course regularly for years. The course is always in great condition and the staff on the course (including the kids) are terrific. The office staff, however, are unprofessional and can ruin an otherwise fine day. There is simply no explanation for people to be so bad at what they're hired to do.

Fun course

Bring bug spray and prepare for wind…. Interesting holes with some water/bay views. Staff were super nice and friendly they have a cart girl driving around… I would pay under 45 to play with cart (via golfnow app) but not worth 70-80 imo. 3/4 greens need help but the rest in great shape
