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.

Have played many times and was not in great shape. Lots of rain does have something to do with it but just seems like they’ve lost their fast ball

Golf on the Water

Best course in the area that is open to public. Fast greens. Water makes for interesting layout.

I would welcome a clubhouse.

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

First Time Playing

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
