Dogwood/Oak Tree at Middle Island Country Club
About
Middle Island Country Club sits almost at the center of Long Island and has been one of the area's most popular public golf courses since first opening in 1965. The 27-hole course is divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The entire layout was carefully carved from 225 acres of the Lustengarten Nursery. Middle Island's Dogwood/Oak combination features narrow fairways lined with trees. The greens on the front nine are the most challenging of any of the three nines. They have subtle breaks that leave many golfers wondering how they "just missed" it. The Oak nine is almost as tough, but you will get a slight break. It requires careful course management since there are many doglegs that can make it play longer than what's indicated on the scorecard.

Golfer Reviews
Fun course but they recently aerated the greens so every green was covered in samd and still charged full price for weekend tee time
Greens
The greens had more sand than a bunker! Air raiding is one thing this was even worse. Should be a discount if the greens are like this
Decent course but price seems too high
Found out on first green that they aerated day before. Would have been nice to know before booking tee time at full price.
This place blows
Worst round I ever played this last week I’m my golfing career….there was more sand on the greens than the bunkers, they didn’t post that they air rated the day day before Labor Day none the less and still banged you for $90. They never accommodate you or go out of their way to Make the experience better. They had the crew out there at 5am on Labor Day continuing to air rate even the one and only practice green, this place just doesn’t get it. By far my least favorite corse on this island and I play them all…it’s easy to see why this is the only corse with tee times available every week. I’ve played here pretty often over my golfing career but I’m done, if there the only place with a time I’d rather not play them support these losers.
Poor course managment
4 1/2 hours to play a round is annoying and unacceptable. Foursome in front of us hitting multiple balls all day.
Cow pasture with decent greens
I played the Oak course today. I thought that new management would have put some money into course but no.
Seems to have gone backwards in regard to maintenance.
Too bad as course layout is good and greens where not in bad condition.
Maybe next season will be better.
Condition
Aeration made greens impossible to putt with any sense of confidence on the line. Sand traps were poorly kept, with pebbles, rocks. And the tee boxes were awful: many barren. Fairways were in good condition.
Overall, good.
Overall it was in decent shape.. grass should be better kept outside of the fairway. Wish other players would clean up after their shots onto the green. Also the sprinklers going off during the round, come on now, soaking the fairways and greens.
Course is good for 70 a person
Oak conditions could be better.
Overall all greens and fairways were pretty great
