Par 71

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.

Middle Island Round 3

I have played here each of the last 3 decades multiple times but never regularly and it has gone through multiple owners and varied conditions. Driving in it is unspectacular and the parking lot and clubhouse are outdated and not well maintained. However the course is in above average condition and the greens roll well. It is not crowded and pace of play is good as long as those in front of you keep the pace. Not a lot of interaction with rangers and golfers tend to be less experienced so you can run into a slow group. Good course

Very Nice Afternoon

It was a hot day so the course was pretty quiet. We played as a foursome with one golfer who was a beginner. By the time we reached the back nine there were very few foursomes on the course. Finished in 4 hours. Fairways and greens were in very good condition. No cart girl and few amenities at the clubhouse.

The starter called Sal Cooper is terrible

We finished 9 holes in Dogwood in 2 hours because our twosome started the tee time at 6:48am. The starter called Sal Cooper made us waited for 1 hour 45 minutes before we could start another 9 holes. We paid $68 prime time rate to play only 15 holes in 5.5 hours mostly due to the long wait between the two 9 holes. We could not continue as we needed to go somewhere. The starter Sal Cooper's poor management of distributing players to the three 9-hole courses ruined our mood on a perfect golf day. Instead of following the order of play based on tee time and the turn around time from 1 course to another course, he chooses who he likes to cut the waiting line.

Green not cleared of morning do

The new management must be cutting cost. Had early tee time. Office wasn’t even open when we arrived.

The first 9 greens still had water on them from the morning do. Will not return. And will tell all golfer stay away from Middle Island CC. Spring Lake & Mill Pond closer & great experience. Stay away from Middle Island CC.

Greens were horrible

I love to play this course. The general area of the course was great; except the greens were not in good shape. There were so many ball marks from people not repairing them. I do not know how to remedy people being so insensitive to the rules of golf. Otherwise it was a great day

Challenging Course, Greens were recently airated but also had fungus

Played this course many times and it is always in good condition. This particular round was a Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Play started out fast paced but caught a threesome with a foursome ahead of them. Slowed play to a screeching halt.

Course was ok, greens weee not in great shape and head some sort of fungus.

Will play there again

Decent track

Decent public course, never a problem getting tee times. 3 nines is cool. Pace of play is WAAAAY better than Bethpage. Traps need work and the 9th green on Dogwood is a complete joke, should be blown up and redesigned.

Poor condition

Course is in such bad shape from where it used to be. I used to play here once a week. Greens are horrendous. Hard pan all over. Starter sends ppl out right in front of you on crossover. There are 3 9’s. Shouldn’t we be using them all? Just falling apart and won’t play here anymore!

First Time Playing

Course, staff and other golfers were great!

I am a relative inexperienced golfer, loving the game and expect to be playing more . I had driven be The MICC hundreds of times and is less than 2 miles from where I live. Decided to try it with my brother and reserved twosome easily on GolfNow .

In the needs improvement category:

The driving range was under renovation so not available, would have been good to know because I arrived early to warm up.

Also never saw a refreshment/snack cart. Would have been nice to have had the offering :

All the rest was fantastic!

Registering, starting, course layout, carts, pace of play, greens, club house, staff combined to make it a great Saturday .

The other golfers were also very friendly and helpful, especially the two some the starter put us with on the the spruce course (after completing the Dogwood course)

Probably the best experience I have had on a course.

Thanx to all!
