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.

HORRIBLE CONDITION , SLOW PLAY AND WORST VALUE
Don’t play here . Absolutely horrible conditions and horrible value . $90 to play a cow pasture with an incompetent starter . I’ve played this course for 2 years and worse it’s ever been .
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.
Dogwood and Spruce are enjoyable
Played in light rain. Course is in better condition than previous years
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.
Middle Island
Good course but a bunch of the greens are destroyed by divots not there fault but greens could use a little extra tlc from staff and ppl who use the course its not hard to fix ur divots
Slow but not courses fault
Just got in our round, due to the very slow group ahead of us, the course was in good shape, especially since we had just come out of a recent storm. Tee boxes were a little chewed up, might need to move them more often, and a little crab grass clearing would go a long way. However on the whole a good round on a good day, will be back.
Finally a break from heat
Today is a break from a long string of high temp heat which lasted prob month and 1/2. Played Oaktree to Spruce, front 9 need course management to avoid rough and trees. Back 9 needs to put ball at places to have a chance to use your long iron/woods to get on the green. Over-all fun would keep coming back!!
Spruce course was nice, dogwood greens were beat up.
Awesome
3 of my friends and I had an awesome time on this course. It’s a pretty easy course overall with challenging components (deep par 3) (water). We all loved the course and already spoke about booking another tee time!
I booked 18 holes and paid and they only let me play 9 and would not refund any money or credit me or my account. They said i had to contact golf now but they never get back to me about this
Better off hitting balls in your back yard.
Understandable that a lot of courses have seen some heavy traffic this year with everyone at home, but the conditions in relation to the price was reprehensible.
Not my first time playing the course and I'd say it's mediocre at best when well kept (not that I've seen it well kept) but today took the cake. The course is basically crab grass dirt and rocks. Greens literally look like mine fields with putts skipping and playing plinko across the surface.
To say it fairly, if this ended up being the only course open on long island, I'd just take up a new sport as opposed to playing here ever again. At 86$ (price with cart) this place is an absolute JOKE.
