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.

Terrible experience
Starter on this day was completely inept. There was a back up and many people waiting to tee off - our tee time was shortly after noon and we finally teed off at about 12:30. Starter assigned us to dogwood/spruce. Waited on every hole. When we finished dogwood we headed over to spruce (we were 2 women). A group of 4 men cut us off going to spruce as well. These men who were incredibly rude kept yelling that they would be fast and we wouldn’t have to wait. I tried to interject through their yelling that we should speak to the starter. After a few choice words they just bullied through ahead of us.... the starter was right there, heard the whole thing and ignored the ruckus. We ended up finishing our round on Oak. It was a terrible experience and the starter was totally useless and did not do his job.
3 and a half hours to play front 9
I’ll start off with the positives, for winter golf the course was still in good condition. However, the starter was completely incompetent. He couldn’t hear anything so you had to yell plus he was pulling his mask down constantly to talk... during a pandemic. He then jammed tee times on top of each other and got groups confused. The ranger was also incompetent instead of enforcing pace of play he just kept picking up balls that people WERE PLAYING. It took 3 and a half hours to play the front 9 alone. This place charged full price for half price services.
LATE TEE TIMES DO NOT WORK AT MIDDLE ISLAND CC
It's understandable when you get a.late tee time that you might not finish. It's unacceptable when the foursomes jammed out in front of you slow the pace to a crawl and you play 11 of 18 holes. And going into the pro shop to discuss a credit for nine holes was met with an arrogance that should never happen in customer service. Too bad because course itself was in great shape and well maintained.
Excellent Day on Course
Course was very well kept and I thought worth the $60 including cart. However you have to wait until off season to get a good rate like this. Usually overpriced compared to other courses which keep their green fees lower. For me I enjoyed the course and found all of the holes unique and very challenging. I will return for sure if I can get the same value......
It’s ok here
The courses are in decent shape. The starter has a serious attitude problem. Once you get past him it’s an enjoyable round.
Crazy slow
Tee time was around 12. Every hole we had to wait 20 minutes at least. there was no ranger or someone... just finished 11 holes by sunset.. never gonna come back ... horrible manage of play pace
Billt
Course was in great shape. The group in front of us had a hole and a half open most of the time Summer rates in November are not appropriate
Nice course in middle Suffolk.
Haven’t been here for a long time but definitely can’t wait to come back
Horrible Starter
Not one to leave a review like this, but it must at least be addressed. When arriving to the course, the views are incredible, beautiful course and long driveway up. After getting our cart and heading to the starter we were greeted by 7+ carts backed up. Our tee time was 1:44 we did not get onto the tee box until 2:05. Each hole in the front 9 we waited 10+ minutes to tee off. After finishing our first round we then approached the starter because the line for the back 9 was 3 carts deep. We kindly asked if there were any players on their 3rd course and he told us “no it is completely empty” (which it was and we knew so by driving past it) it was hard to believe the starter was not sending anyone to that course to play. It caused us to barely finish our back 9 due to the fight against the sunlight. Unless the course has a better way to split the times up, I will not be returning to this course after driving an hour for it!
