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.

Aerated Greens and Long Round

Would have been nice if Golfnow let us know the greens were just aerated 3 days ago. I know it’s Spring and most of the courses were or are being aerated but I could have found a course that hasn’t been aerated yet or was done more than 10 days ago.
Besides the aerated greens, my lord the 2-3 groups in front of us were so sloooooow. They had a whole hole open and rangers were not doing anything about it. Waited after every shot!!!

Feeling too bad

Even the clubhouse of this golf club is a temporary one. The course is very short and the holes are very close each other ,There is almost no ball cover. It has been hit many times by people from other fairways. It is very unsafe. The course is covered with bird droppings. Yes, this is one of the worst courses I have ever played. Two people were charged $182. This is different from the price I booked. This time I feel that GolfNow is so irresponsible and rated the course 45 points.

Great course

Great course:
Price $77 : other courses are a bit more well rounded for $75 price range.
Bunkers were cement, club bounces off the sand 0/5
Fairways were perfect 5/5
Rough was full and difficult 5/5
No patches or clumps of dirt 5/5
Around the green was full 5/5
Tee boxes like any public course weren't flat, little hilly 3/5 could of been worse
Course layout 4/5, some tee boxes seemed right on top of greens. Wish there was a bit more space.
Staff, food or cart girl 5/5

Biggest complaint: lots of bird feathers that are all white. Can't find your ball on some holes that are in the middle of the fairway. Would like to see those holes that neighbor the bay to be cleaned more often.

Overall great course. Little bit pricey. I rather snag a hot deals than pay full price. Will play again

Overall great course
