The Golf Club At Middle Bay, Oceanside, NY

Nice course with beautiful scenery. Well maintained. Half the course plays like a links course, the other like parkland. Nice setup with a range and putting green. (Also a chipping area for members.) Was once a club that was made public. Tight with faster than expected greens. Course is in very good condition this year. Its not as nice as a full-fledged club but its quite nice nonetheless. Everyone is friendly and they will drive your bag (not you -- unless necessary) to and from the trailer clubhouse. Still renovating from Sandy so there is a large area under construction on the property.

It is in a town and has one hole and one tee next to a fence off a pretty busy two way street. It's probably the one thing that takes me out of the immersion and cheapens the experience. It can't be helped but I took note of it. Definitely one of the better courses and one of only a few 18 hole courses in the area.

Decent course, nice people, but avoid a starter named Ken at all costs - TRUST ME. This guy has a real attitude problem/is on a power trip, and he has a serious anger control problem. Everyone else there was overly nice. Disclaimer - my star ratings are from when I played last year, which was when I last played there.
