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.

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!

Wednesday in February

I played this course with two friends a week ago. The weather was forecasted to be warm especially for February. The front nine took 2-1/2 hours. No joke, in the afternoon in February. That wasn't the real issue. There were no rakes in any of the bunkers and there was a ton of maintenance that was not being done. I have played in here before, more in season and remember it being nicer than my last experience. All in all it was good to get out, but comparatively not a great experience.

Wet and cool

The course was soaked so we had to walk. Greens were in poor shape. The rest of the course was ok. Could have used a little bit of a branch and leaves clean up.

Tight many over hanging tree limbs

I used to play this course alot I gave up ...From the back tees there are way too many overhanging tree limbs in play. Its ok on a few holes nothing wrong w a challenge however on the oak and especially the Dogwood its unfair to any level amateur golfer. The bunkers are in bad condition hard pan w rocks. And in between the holes if you mishit. You must deal w rocks and tree roots everywhere.

Good round

Pro shop was too concerned about the discounted price of my Hot Deal and less I was an absolutely dead day and I ended up going out solo. Waited 45 minutes to do so which while right really sucked.

Great Value

$15.00 for 18 holes with a cart on a Friday is amazing. I looked online and going rate was $50. Thanks Golfow. I played off the blues and the course played very long. A 488 yard par 4 and 3 par 3"s of 187, 205 and 210 yards. The course was in great condition. The greens were large but the speed was quite slow and made for tough putting, We were a twosome and caught up to a foursomes so waiting a bit. There are 3 (9) hole course so you can avoid a wait if you choose the right 9. I think excellent value and will go again.
