Type Public
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.

Don't bother Because Sun sets Early here

This place closes at 6pm EVEN WHEN THE SUN SETS AT 7:15. If your like me and want to squeeze in 18 after work or late in the day, you expect to play until dark. Not at Middle Island. 6pm is time for them to go home and count their $. Unreal. Thank God there are 144 golf courses on Long Island that DON'T have bank hours. Adios

Meh

Every green had a billion ball marks on them. Two guys were were paired up with didn't fix one ball mark. Couldn't take a hint when I repaired their ball marks right in front of their faces. Bunkers aren't maintained. Rained last night, you would think they would have crew out early to rake bunkers before play began but that didn't happen. Other golfers didn't rake bunkers either. Just about every bunker that I passed had at least a few foot prints in them. Most bunkers also full of a variety of little pebbles up to full rocks about half the size of golf balls. You also need a sledge hammer to get the ball to roll all they way to the hole on the greens.

Temps were in the 90's and the course did not have any water available on Spruce or Dogwood courses. Place was packed, had a time for 8:16am and didn't tee off until about 8:30am. Through the first six holes there were at least 3 groups on each hole.

Wow! Sticky humidity day I was playing

All holes of 18 were perfect shape. All levels of golfers should be like them, but greens were not pefect. Some of greens were so slow and others were little more faster than slow green. If this golf course wants to be favorable course for golfers, they have to fix this problem. They must hire green keepers to do their job. Except green, everything was perfect for playing golf in humid day.
