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.

Awesome golf course

Too many young players with radios on a golf carts and too many scramblers playing with regular singles or players, which should be not allowed a lot of drinking on a golf course alcohol find an empty beer cans on a couple of tee boxes and the radios from golf carts is very annoying to pay that much money to hear country music or rap music all in all. It’s a great golf course just needs a little more attention to the people who are playing

Nothing great.

There is a hump around nearly all the holes. Whoever place the cups did a terrible job. They plenty of geese and their droppings. Players don’t rack the traps or fix ball marks on the greens.

Just OK

Played today.... Sprinklers were on almost all the time. Whoever placed the cups on the greens did a terrible job. There is a hump around almost every cup. Rained today and was told no raincheck...doesn't matter how many holes you play. Only if the lightning horn goes off. Only reason to play is that is convenient to home.

Very nice course

Updating a prior review. This course is a borderline 4. The 7 or so holes by the water are terrific. The inland holes are pretty good but are fairly flat and some holes are tight. Walkable course, good variety, many holes laid out with strategic angles. Nice greens.

Always a good run

Good affordable run. Twilight 9 is always pleasant. Would be 5 stars if I didn’t lip out a birdie on 4 and then get hit with the sprinklers like happy Gilmore as I sadly tapped in for par

Did not like

Staff was great and super friendly and helpful . However I did not like how close the courses are. You could be teeing off and other golfers are in your fairway playing for another hole . Also there are some holes if you hit the homes you’re liable for the damages , which I did not like especially if you are a movie to golf . Bottom line deal on golf now was sweet , but courses are too close to each other and did not like

A Ranger with an attitude

Pace of play was just fine. We finished our around in four hours and three minutes however on the 13th tee box, Mr. happy comes by and tells us with a severe attitude, telling uswe have to keep up pace with the guys in front of us meanwhile, the guys in front of us are just passed the sand trap alongside the driving range

We were a threesome the foursome behind us was a hole and a half behind!

As we got to the tee box on 14 the group of women were on 17green!

I understand Pace of play can get backed up, but in this case there was no reason for Mr. happy to have an attitude none!

Everyone else from the counter staff to the starter to the concession woman everybody was kind, polite, and happy there was no need for Mr. happy to have an attitude one day somebody’s gonna tell him to shut the “F” up

One day that guy is gonna get hit by someone 🤷‍♂️ love you, Course the track is beautiful and today when we needed some wind, there was none to be hard. Greens were pretty fast, fairways, beautiful, and the rough very far and the sand one of the best out in Nassau.

Worth the haul from NYC

I usually play the course once or twice a year, but this was my first time in three years mainly owing to the insanely stupid drive required from upper Manhattan (2 hours to drive home 22 miles). That said, this links course is in great shape and lovely to walk or ride. Greens were fast, firm and true. The new clubhouse is welcoming, as is the staff (as always). A couple of "to dos" for the course: Many of the cart paths and dirt paths are in need of repair. Consider moving up the Gold tees; seniors like me will appreciate it!
