About The Long Bay Club
The Long Bay Club provides a compelling test for golfers of all skill levels with its par 72 layout stretching from 5,715 yards from the forward tees to 6,593 yards from the back. Each of the available tees—Blue, White update, White, Gold, and Red—boasts challenging water hazards and strategic bunkers that require thoughtful play and precision.

What to Expect
Prepare for a solid challenge, particularly if you're playing from the back tees, where the slope rating can be a true test for lower handicappers. It's wise to think about club selection off the tee, especially on those tight holes where precision is key to avoid water hazards. Be on the lookout for well-placed bunkers that can catch errant shots—a strategic approach makes all the difference here. Overall, mid to high-handicappers will find their footing, but expect to use your course management skills to navigate cleverly around the layout.
