Dogwood/Oak Tree at Middle Island Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Horrible
5 and a half hours at 7am. Pace of play was horrid. Waited on every shot. Not a single ranger all day. Starter was a jerk from the get go. Idiots blasting music and driving carts all over the place. Will be the last time I ever play this course.
Not great
Had an 11:28 tee time booked, got to the range at about 11:00 and about 5 swings into my warm up the starter was telling me I had to tee off. My playing partner was walking up from the parking lot and I told the starter he would be there in a couple of minutes. I also mentioned that the tee time was at 11:28 and it was only 11:14 why were we starting 14 minutes early. His response was if we didn’t go now we’d have to wait a while before we could tee off because it was backing up. None of this made sense to me and it made both me and my playing partner decide to never play here again.
Challenging but fun.
Course was extremely well kept, staff was pleasant and helpful. Spotted a beaver how cool is that?
Slow pace of play
Course was in good condition but the pace of play makes it not worth it. Guys waiting at the tee guys on the tee guys on the green. It was not worth the money
Memorial Day at Middle Island
Wet moring but this crazy club still let carts out. Course was in great shape. This was the best the course has looked in a few years. The management company is doing a terrible job with pro shop, clubhouse and food. The round was better than expected.
Conditions
Fairways and greens were acceptable. Sand traps are in horrible shape. This is a narrow course in many spots and they have allowed overgrowth of the trees -- on one hole, a good portion of the right side of the tee box is unusable due to overhanging branches. There are many other courses to choose from in this area, unless they put more effort into maintaining these issues, this course will not be worth playing.
Well maintained and in great shape. 5hr15min pace at 640am was very slow, would've figured no more than 4hrs starting that early.
