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.

A public course with a private feel.

I got dehydrated today and fainter on the 8th jole and the staff could not have been more supportive. I wish I could say the same for Golf Now, but that is a separate issue.

Gem of a course!

Just played the course and the greens are in phenomenal shape. The course has grown in beautifully this year (as usual) with the fairway, first cut, rough and bunkers well-mantained... The new clubhouse is beautifully done, offering equipment and accessories second-to-none. Friendly staff and an awesome experience. Thanks to Ron and the staff this place is always top pick for me. Keep up the good work and thanks for offering us this diamond in the rough on the South shore.

Overall a good golf course

Greens are very good, but since public can't be very fast. Goose leavings were annoying. Tees could be better. Very nice design and can be tough with strong winds coming off the water. Good value.

Never going back!

The course itself is in good shape, but I won’t be returning. Throughout our round, a staff member sporting a 1930s style mustache repeatedly drove around in a cart, pressuring us to speed up, even though we were clearly keeping pace. Our foursome finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes (official tee time: 9:51, finish: 2:00), which is completely reasonable. He came by multiple times, once claiming we were “8 minutes off pace” whatever that means. We were literally waiting on the group ahead of us at several holes. Instead of enjoying a relaxing round, we spent much of it being interrupted, which really took away from us just enjoying golf. Afterward, I brought it up with the manager, whose response was, “Well, it’s better than taking six hours at Bethpage.” That’s not the kind of of response u want hear from someone who is running facility.

1. This course is nowhere near the level of Bethpage.

2. It’s far from the only option on Long Island.

I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want to enjoy a peaceful, uninterrupted round of golf.

Course is well kept and the staff is great here.

Always a great time playing here, especially on a beautiful day. The greens were run and the course is always a nice challenge. Can’t wait to get out there again soon

Golfing Pleasure

This course combines the features of both Northern and Southern golfing with water and winds off the bay to trees and tight fairways further inland. You get to play two courses in one. They keep the fairways and greens in pristine condition.

Love golf

Staff was friendly, course was in great shape, pass was good. Golf is just getting expensive for the average player, especially if you’re retired. It’s a Shame.

On the bay

Great layout, Challenging from any tee box. The course plays completely different when the wind direction changes, so it is a thinking man’s course, you need to play a few times to really appreciate it!

Garbage course rude staff

If you want to play golf where the conditions are terrible and wanted to be treated terrible for asking questions then this is the course you want to play! Played golf here I arrived 20 mins early and the starter told me I was late when I asked him to explain himself he ignored me and made me wait and rolled his eyes. The pace of play was extremely slow and nothing was done about it and to top it all off I just asked a simple question to one of the employees there and the guy completely blew up on me for asking the question and started screaming that I asked such a question and when I asked for his name he refused. I will never play at this garbage course again with these garbage conditions and horrible staff I wish I could give 0 stars
