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.

Country Club Caliber

This is a local gem. The course is in excellent condition despite the lack of rain. Greens are neither burnt out or have fungi. Fairways are closely cut but not burned out.

Poor management- Nasty Ranger

The ranger doesn’t care why we are behind schedule. The older guys I was with took a long time finding their ball. I lost several but took drops to speed up play. White feathers from birds make it hard to find your ball. Holes are right on top of each other. Errant shots can and will cause damage to homes other Golfers. Kyle the golf pro talked over me while I tried to explain. Not worth the $100. The manager gave me a long list of reasons why they treated me poorly but agreed that I was treated poorly and only charged me for 9 holes. I said that was fair. They really could use some help in the management department.

Pushy Ranger, Kyle is unprofessional.

The holes are right on top of each other. Players consistently hit balls on to neighboring holes. The ranger and golf pro Kyle are not very professional. I tried to explain why my group was slow but they talked over me saying they have gps and we are moving slow. The course has tons of white bird feathers on it which makes it difficult to find the ball. I personally lost several balls trying to speed up play. The golfers I was 1st paired with were walking in front of me while i was taking my shot. They also took a very long time looking for their balls and having no golf courtesy at all. I left that group , cleared it with the ranger, and the next group also took a lot of time looking for their ball. I drove the ball 250, they were older guys and were 200. I had to help and wait to find their ball before i went and looked for mine. I did everything I could to speed up play. I was singled out 3 times asked to hurry the play. They didn't listen to any reason why. They must have very little management if they feel they can talk to patrons that way.

Left after 11

Got out 30 minutes late. The starter is too busy chatting with everyone he knows and doesn’t get folks on the first tee and ready to hit.

Left after 11th hole and iver 4-1/2 hours. No rangers, people spending way too much time looking for golf balls in the high fescue.

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

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.
