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.

What a shame

I recall this course being well maintained, with nice greens, now it's in terrible shape, greens have patches of crab grass, rough is overgrown, 4-5 inches deep, ball cleaners without fluid, bunkers not raked from previous day. We arrived 25 mins early, and even though tee box was open, were told $25 extra per player to go out we waited 20 mins and went out at golf now price. New management not investing in course, really cheap new management..What a shame, this used to be a good course.,

A bunch of doglegs

We played Oaktree and Dogwood. I hook the ball and my partner fades the ball. Oaktree favors the fade and Dogwood favors the hook. This made it very fair to each of us and we had a great time. Nice layout and greens were in nice shape.

Pace of play was great. The course is in great shape. The rough was fair and the greens were somewhat slower than expected. Great golf course.

Mid island - Pretty good, but...

Nice track! Played Oak and Spruce. Fairways and greens were in pretty good shape. Good pace. Only real complaint was the sand traps were in bad shape. There really wasn’t sand in them, rather dirt or hard mud. In short, traps were brutal. Also, around and off the greens, better maintenance is needed as there were lots of holes and bare patches. Finally, minor point, no drink/food cart came till 14th hole. Thanks.

Nice Sunday Afternoon of Golf!

Great course. Each time I go, the course gets better. New bar area and outdoor patio are great. Kudos to the new owner(s) for the job they have done since taking the course over years ago.

Got fooled when I saw "Country Club"

Clubhouse is non-existent, Pro shop is pretty much non existent as well. No beverage carts around the golf course. Not sure if they have a restaurant/snack bar at the course. They did sell some instant breakfast sandwiches in the proshop.

The course was a disappointment as well. Bunkers have a little to no sand in them. Greens were rolling true but they were very very slow. Greens felt "spongy" if that makes any sense.

The layout of the course is actually nice. Challenging doglegs and some par 4's are long if you play from the tips. Water hazards on some holes. This course would be a gem if they do some maintenance on it.
