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.

Great round again !!!!!

The Course was in excellent condition for November!!! The greens were aerated Monday and in ok shape to putt by Friday. Even more surprising was that there were very few leaves on the course. I mean very few!!! Great job by the crew for that. Thanks again

Love the layout. Challenging but not impossible. Very well kept. Some of the low lying areas need a redo. Would love to see more netting around the driving range looking forward to seeing the new clubhouse. players and staff have always been friendly.

Middle Bay does not disappoint

Well maintained fairways and greens. Would like to see a Golf Club set up here once the club house is completed.

Best golf course in Oceanside !!!

Ron and his staff were the best. Even with a couple of holes affected by the recent storms they had the course running on all cylinders. If you haven’t played Middle Bay I suggest you make it over there. Watch out for the greens it’s pretty easy to 3 putt. Just ask me. Good luck.

Price was advertised differently

The price while booking the round for 4 using the golfnow app was $208.40 because of a "hot deal" offer. However when arriving to the course I was charged full price for the round (4 people) $322.92 . The off on golfnow also included golf carts.

Windy

This round was the first time the wind was not coming off of the water. It was my first time out this year and I played fairly well. Actually had a par on the first hole!
