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.

Great course layout. As a 12 handicap it is a challenge from the White tees.

On the day that I played there was a very strong wind blowing off the ocean. This made for a very difficult day of play. Without the wind the course is very enjoyable.

First Time Playing

Challenging but very fun

Went there on Saturday. Once arrived the staff were very friendly. It was a little rainy that day but the course was still enjoyable. The carts are equipped with a tablet that shows the layout of the different holes and how fast you are playing. There is also a score card built into the tablet so you don’t have to write your scores down. The carts also come equipped with a thing that tells you how far your cart is from the hole which is very helpful. There is a cart girl who has drinks and snacks that comes around throughout the day. I thought the course was pretty challenging and not for people who are starting out. The pace of play was perfect we weren’t being rushed at all. This might have been because we were playing later in the day. I overall recommended this course and you should definitely play here when you get the chance.

A Challenging golf course

Middle Bay is a difficult but enjoyable golf course. I teed off late in the afternoon and realized that getting in 18 holes was not going to happen. The conditions were outstanding, Unfortunately the location is on Reynolds Channel and between the geese and sea gulls there are problems that can't be avoided. Also in the afternoon walking is common so pace of play is an issue, I didn't play a full round because when I made the turn as a single in a cart I found a 4some on the tenth tee waiting to hit and another 4 some on 11 and 12. I was able to start my back on 13 and that worked out well. It was very windy but a fun late afternoon of golf.

Almost perfect

The course conditions especially fairways and greens are in excellent shape. THe one complaint I have is the sand traps are very inconsistent. A number of them, maybe 30%, are washed out and lacking sand making play from them almost impossible. .

I expect more from a course at this price point. And don't see this on courses in the same price range. If they don't fix the traps they should drop the cost.
