Oak Tree/Spruce at Middle Island Country Club

About
Middle Island Country Club offers 27 holes of championship golf. It is one of Long Island's most popular public golf courses. It sits almost right at the center of the island, surrounded by the Lustengarten Nursery. The holes are divided into three nines and played as different 18-hole combinations. The Oak/Spruce Course begins with the shortest of the three nines, but there are some tricky doglegs that can make it play longer than what it says on the scorecard. Middle Island's Spruce nine was renovated in 2008, which added an island green on the par-4 seventh and more tee boxes to allow for women, seniors, and championship play. It's the most player friendly of the three nines, with wide fairways and generous greens that give you the freedom to grip it and rip it.

Ruined our golf day
These guys didn't put the correct schedule in their app so they booked us. Three days prior they call us telling us that they had an outing and they would have to cancel our tee time.
Three days from now there is nothing available to book anywhere else. They offered no other accommodations outside a refund.
A very bad resolution for something they screwed up
Traps and Grass Cutting
MICC is my home course. A little expensive for my taste.
Sand traps need to be screened of rocks, come on put in real sand.
There was an outing, no problem, but is that the day, 10am tee off, to cut the grass and dust? Really?
Three 9 hole courses
There are 3 courses that intertwine each other and are very easy to navigate. With 3 separate 9 hole courses, you can mix and match which courses to play to make your 18 hole round different every time.
Sunday golf
It’s was not worth $90. Small shelf of random snacks and drinks. Bar didn’t open till 1030 am which is only place you can get real food. They had a snack cart going around with the same amenities. I asked if there was a snack shack, which she acknowledged, but failed to tell me it opened later, even though I was on the 9th and told her I would just go there. Staff wasn’t super nice nor mean. Very average experience. They had a ranger that should’ve had a slow paced group speed it up off the bat, but he pretty much stayed around the turn/ first tee. Course was in great shape. Very tough course especially the greens, so there was def a challenge. It was a nice place to play one time, but for the value and lack of amenities, probably just a one time thing..
Great Course but nothing else
The course is in great shape. It’s 3 9 holes so pace of play wasn’t a huge issue especially compared to other public courses on LI. The pro shop was nicely stocked but they offer zero food . The driving range is not maintained at all and the bathrooms were overflowing with feces water by 9am . So moral of the story, the golf was great but make sure you eat first and don’t need to use the indoor facilities.
MICC Cancellation
Showed up 20 minutes before our tee time after it had just rained for 45 minutes and they wouldn’t let us out. We were going to walk an 18 but it didn’t matter to them. They sent us away and didn’t offer anything in return just said go deal with GolfNow for your refund. We drove down the road to Spring Lake and were able to play luckily. Weather was great after the rain shower and there was no reason to not let us go out.
Nice course for high handicappers
Played on a beautiful Monday afternoon. Im a 30 handicap and this course was built for players like me. Fairways are very forgiving as they are wide with a few scattered bunkers for errant long hitters.
Rough was high so jeep it on the fairway.
Greens in good condition and true to line.
Good value for the average golfer.
A must Try
I loved this course even though without a starter when you play 18 you have to ask where the 10th hole is.
I really enjoyed myself. Was slightly rushed with a group of two driving up on us every hole. great place to at least practice early in the morning or late in evening.
My enjoyable Saturday
Was hoping to get out to play golf go to Corus Star said if we are ready we can go which was a few minutes early and the rest of the day was great thank you goodbye
