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.

Sandy

The greens were covered in sand. With the damp conditions the sand would stick to the ball.

Not bad for a winter round

First time playing here.

3- nine hole courses.

I enjoyed the layout and you can't expect much for a February round.

I can see that in season the course would be nice to play.

I understand they are quite pricey tho.

This place is ancient tho.

I would not pay $60 in season to play here

Plays Long and Some holes tight

I was lucky to sneak in a round of golf in December. The weather was sunny with wind.

There are three 9 hole courses at Middle Island Country Club. I played from Spruce to Dogwood.

Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly staff member. There was complimentary coffee and tee.

The tee boxes are in great condition, and the fairways were perfect condition. Most of the greens rolled well but still some signs from aeration on a few holes. I played this course several times this year. The only work that should be done is adding sand to the traps and edging them. If this was done the course would receive 5 stars from me. Overall its a great value and challenging for all levels of golfers.

The course plays long. If you are not a single handicap you should play from the whites.

Overall a good experience.

We played Spruce/Dogwood and moved at a nice pace on the front nine. When we arrived on the back nine, the starter put a single out in front of us who had to wait for the foursome that was in front of us to clear. We waited 20 minutes to finally hit our tee shots.

Other than that the course was in great shape with the exception of some bunkers that had little sand.

So much potential wasted

MICC is the type of course where there is a lot of potential built into it. Fairways and greens are green, and the setup for holes allows them to challenge both the amateur and lower handicapper.

However, this is where the potential ends. Greens are HORRIBLY inconsistent. Some are lightning fast while others are pure carpet. This is also happening within some individual greens. The lack of ball repair shows the incosiderateness of the players here, but the unmown repairs show the lack of care of the course keepers.

Forget any chipping or pitching if you are over the green. Pure dirt. No grass. Makes it near impossible to score.

Staff is very friendly, however as many have stated, pro shop and clubhouse can be described as dilapidated at best. Felt so bad for poor woman in restaurant as there was no AC and it was 80 degrees with 90 percent humidity.

The fact I can get a better course at Eisenhower for $25 less than the deal I got on GolfNow shows where the condition of this place lies. A little money and care into this course could make it a gem. Until then, no thanks.

Ladies tee boxes

The course was in excellent shape. My only recommendation is making the ladies tee boxes fairer. On 2 par threes the distance was over a 175 yards. I shouldn't have to pull out a driver to reach the green. Also on 3 par fours the distance was over 350 yards. Again that distance is long for a woman golfer to get on the green in two.

Not too bad

Fairways were damp from recent water had some bare spots . I am amazed that so many people don't repair the ball marks on the putting green . They did have a cart girl check to see if I needed anything. Also the ranger let me play the back nine on oak instead of following the slow group I caught up to on 8.
