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.

if they could get the greens faster and fix the traps this course would be 5 star.
Challenging
Long course in average shape. I'm guessing the long holes keep the shorter hitters away. There's a challenging 470 yard par 4.
This course has 3 nine hole courses to choose from for your round of 18
With new management/ownership this course is one of my favorites!
Their outings are fantastic.
Their staff in the pro shop & starters are very friendly and funny.
Some of the staff are fantastic golfers. Probably no handicap. So your low handicappers love this course.
I play 5x a week at least. I love this course. Great layout !!!!
Course is in great shape
I have played this course on and off for 5 years. This year is the best shape the course has been in during that time. It is clear the management is taking pride in the course. The greens are fast and can be tough to read with slight nuances. All of that said, it is time to work on the clubhouse. It does not effect the golf but it clearly needs to be brought up to the standard of the rest of the course. It is a good test and a lot of fun. Worth playing, just needs a better 19th to finish the experience.
Golf
The course plays well and the 27 holes make for good pace of play although the course was updated still needs tlc around the course allot of bare spots
My go to course.
Have been playing this course for years. Always liked it here.
Course in very good shape
Staff extremely professional and helpful
Will definitely play again
Middle Island Country Club
I have been playing here for years and this is the best shape I have seen it in, great layout and challenging.
Nice track
The golf is very nice. The clubhouse and grill room leave something to be desired. All in all, I'd play here again. And again
Mislead
Knowing it's that time of year for aerating I called the course to inquire if they had done so yet. I was told they did the greens on the one course and they weren't using that one, and that the others were fine. Unfortunately when we arrived we found that the entire course had been aerated and the greens were terrible. I wish I would have been told that in advance. Overall it's a good course and a decent value.
Sandy
The greens were covered in sand. With the damp conditions the sand would stick to the ball.
Well kept course
Played here many times and the course is always is good shape. Considering it was March in NY was happy with the way the greens were. Would definitely play again.
Very early in the year and the greens were a bit beat up, but that was expected. Fairways were in good condition.
Not bad for a winter round
First time playing here.
3- nine hole courses.
I enjoyed the layout and you can't expect much for a February round.
I can see that in season the course would be nice to play.
I understand they are quite pricey tho.
This place is ancient tho.
I would not pay $60 in season to play here
Great value
Course was great. Finished in 3 hours w/foursome. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only drawback was weather. The greens were soaked due to prior rain.
