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.

First Time Playing

The best course ive played so far

First time here this past week and I havent stopped thinking about coming back. Staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the greens and course layout. For the price you can't beat playing here. I felt like a country club member when I finished the round they cleaned my clubs for me; and took me back by golf cart to my car. Amazing service 10/10! Love it here

Middle bay-not worth the money

Bag drop easy they picked up the clubs but walking to the car took some time. When leaving no one around to assist with the clubs. Mostly all workers know most of the golfers there so not so friendly condition for two women who don’t frequent the course. Played there in the past. It’s on the beach so fairways and greens not even average. Location of holes are such that your putts drop off and keep on rolling away, so few birdies were had.

I was treating a friend who had me golf at the club he belongs to. He was impressed with conditions, layout, and the water views. We will be back again.

Fair local course

1 interesting course layout. But easy course. There may be a lot of water but doesnt really come into play except for a few holes. Lots of bunkers with variable quality.
2 fast green
3 good pace of play. 18 holes in 4:15. But it was cold and weekday
4 too expensive for Friday. Dont understand why friday is considered weekend
5 must take cart before 10 am. It was 50 degrees and i dont ride when its cold but not an option.

Bottom line. Would not go back. Its ok enough as a local course. A bit expensive if its 90+ for Friday.
