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.

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.
All to myself
Last day of the year had the course to myself. That was strange. It was great condition considering it is winter. Hope the snow never comes so I can play all winter.
Plays Long and Some holes tight
I was lucky to sneak in a round of golf in December. The weather was sunny with wind.
There are three 9 hole courses at Middle Island Country Club. I played from Spruce to Dogwood.
Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly staff member. There was complimentary coffee and tee.
The tee boxes are in great condition, and the fairways were perfect condition. Most of the greens rolled well but still some signs from aeration on a few holes. I played this course several times this year. The only work that should be done is adding sand to the traps and edging them. If this was done the course would receive 5 stars from me. Overall its a great value and challenging for all levels of golfers.
The course plays long. If you are not a single handicap you should play from the whites.
Affordable
great fun at an affordable rate. friend and I met two singles and had a great round playing with them. weather was as good as the company, could not ask for a better October round. thanks. dogwood to oak tree .
