Par 71
Length 7025 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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.

Value

$70 for midweek is a little steep. Like the layout but this isn’t the only course around that has kept their fees high

not worth the trip

There is nothing about this course that would make me come back. The price is high and the conditions were not good. The greens had sand on every one and the pace of play was SLOW. We even skipped a hole as the group in front of us were not good golfers playing from the blue tees. No ranger around either

Poor conditions

The greens were aireated and sanded, which is understandable but the cups were overgrown with grass reducing the size of the holes and causing balls to deflect that should have gone in.

When complaint was made to Management they said there was not time to recut the holes and would not make any sort of accomandations for course conditions

Bottom Tier of Golf Courses

This course is slightly better than Rolling Oaks but it’s in the same category. Terrible pace of play, greens were punched, weeds growing everywhere and bunkers are full of rocks. The best conditioned part of the course are the fairways. When I examine a golf course, I ask; Does this course enhance my golf experience or take away from it? This course takes away from it.

Greed has gotten to this course

Showed up for a 9:00am tee time drove out to starter. This is a 3 course 9 hole set up. The starter area looked like New Years Eve at Time square. People all

Over the place waiting to go out. I had played here several times this season so I asked the starter and ranger what was going on. I was told that there was up to a half hour delay because ownership was setting tee times 5 minutes apart. Every starting hole had a group on the box 1 in the fairway and one on the green with at least 2 groups waiting. The shape of the course has gone down hill. Lots of dead spots in fairways some greens are shot. Sorry to see the almighty dollar ruin this course.

Long and Narrow

Even from the regular men's tees this course plays long and there are a number of narrow holes, especially on the Dogwood 9. Many par 4s over 400 and uphill. I think this course plays better for longer and more accurate hitters. Conditions were good... tees a big "worn" but fairways and bunkers good... greens a bit worn too but playing fast.

Well Worth The Ride

Middle Island is a long and tight and challenging course. They keep it in very good condition. The staff is extremely accomodating and friendly. But bring your own drinks and snacks because they do not always have a cart person.
