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.

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
Great course & value
Picked a perfect time and day to play. Finished in 3-1/2 hrs. They have a few 9 hole courses to play.
Condition
Course in great shape for January price good friendly staff but bathrooms need to be attended to
GREAT COURSE. ONLY PROBLEM IS THE STARTER SHOULD WAIT 15 MINUTES BETWEEN GOLFERS.
Nice course
We played the course 11/4. Course was in nice shape and pace of play was fine. We’ll definitely return.
Middle Island Round
Nice layout and course, The greens were recently aerated but they ok for putting
Course alittle beat up can’t help fighting Mother Nature . The greens are in good shape BUT FOR EVERY GOlFER if you land on the green FIX YOUR BALL MARK AND RAKE THE SAND TRAPS think of the next golfer
Nicely kept
Course has a nice layout. Challenging as fairways are not wide. Greens are not in great shape due to golfers not fixing divits
Honest review
Starters are rude and unprofessional. Course is overall in good shape. Not worth the money.
Quick round
Nice local course in good condition. The greens did have a lot of ball marks but other than that everything else was nice. Can’t complain about finishing 18 in 3 hours.
Good experience
Convient course. Decent condition but too much crabgrass and bunkers weren’t in best condition. Staff very nice
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.
