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.

The course has made a lot of improvements
The course is I nice shape. Hopefully the clubhouse improvements continue but it has a ways to go. I wish the owners the best of luck
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.
Management
The management is not friendly or professional. They only favor some people!
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
