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.

Good value
This course was in very good condition. I haven't played here in quite a few years but I wouldn't hesitate to play here again. Just wished the cart girl would have showed up more saw her on hole 5 then not again to hole 17.
Great Value
Its now one of my favorites. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape. The course plays very long on some pat 4's and 5's but the large greens gives some relief. Some fairways are wide open and others a touch narrow with trees on both sides. The course provides everything a golfer would want. There was a cart girl but only surprise was the bar closed at 5:00 pm on a Friday night. A bit odd
I'd recommend
Not a bad course to play with a decent layout, there are some spots around the course that could use some work but the greens were decent and true.
Good value, fair condition
This course is in need of some repairs but the value is very good. It's a shame they don't renovate and utilize a potential great clubhouse
Great way to spend the 4th!
Friendly staff. Great service! Excellent pace of play in the morning.
Course is little dry and old gas engine smells bad
9 hole (spruce) was ok but other two is swarm of tree moth flying all over and bugging you whole time
Horrible
Worst course I've played on in a long time. Don't waste your time.
Nice Course
Nice course. Good value. In great shape for this time of the year.
Not bad for the money
Middle Island golf course is a tight track. The fairways are in good shape the greens putt slow and fast making for some frustrating comments. I would play again but not for $75.
Course was in good shape but staff not very friendly.
Staff members had issues with my wife riding in the cart with me even though she was not playing golf and no one was at the course.
Enjoyable round
We played Oak and dogwood
Both courses were in great shape. Challenging with some narrow fairways water hazards and side hill lies.Greens were true but a bit slow. We had slightly over a 3 1/2 round which made it even more enjoyable. Staff was great and will look forward to playing this course again!
Great lay out & well groomed.
Fairways are well manicured,but the greens are very slow ,maybe needs to cut low as the whole experience gets taken away because of the putting surface.
No bang for the buck
Course needs some work. Sand traps were more like concrete bunkers. Greens need to be rolled. Would not play here again for the price.
outstanding value
fairways are wide and plush ! greens are fast. two 9 hole courses are playable for anyone but beginners, I was paired with one. clubhouse was extremely clean !staff was most cordial. course is convenient to the L. I. E. ,worth the trip, you will have fun !!!!
Better than expected!
Started out on 440 Par 4 - from the whites!!! Challenging but fair - great greens, ran true...really enjoyed the round and the facilities, will be going back next week.
Simple golf in Long Island
I am from Northeast PA and was in LI for the weekend and wanted to play golf. I'm not familiar with the courses in the area or price but I was lucky enough to get the 24.00 deal, so I was wonderful for the money. It is a pretty typical municipal course in my eyes. Not overly manicured but not under, nice course size. It can be a long course if you play from the tips, or it could be easier if you play from the whites. The greens are slow. They are perfect speed for a municipal course. You can tell this course is taken care of by the club, but unfortunately not by the players. I really did enjoy my time at the course. I will definitely play there again if given the opportunity.
Good Shape
Greens were rather slow even for me. Staff are not very friendly. Course was wide open (in terms of golfers). Gas Carts and no GPS.
Middle Island
Course is in much better shape than years past.
The Golf Now fees were way too high!
Solid, Fun Course with Quite a Few Really Great Holes
First time playing the course and I was very happy with the experience. I got the tee time as a Hot Deal and it was more than reasonable. I got to the course and was able to get right out as a single. The front 9 (Oak Tree), was relatively narrow but fair and even if you end up wayward, you can find your shots. The 9th hole was the most memorable on this 9...otherwise, just some doglegs and a few challenging par 3s. The second nine (Spruce) had a little more character, especially the last 4 holes. The course is relatively long from the White Tees, and roughly 7000+ from the back tees so its a good challenge, but fair too. The course was in very good condition and the greens were rolling good, just not overly fast. Overall, I was very happy with the course and will look to play it again.
Meh..... Not impressed
3- nine hole layout! First time there! Wasn't very impressed by the course!
The club house looks very beat up! Starter assumes everybody knows the names of the 3 courses (we did not) and where to go! When we asked him where our first 9 hole course we were starting at was, he looked at us like we were stupid! There is no signage to show golfers where to go, only when you get to the tee-box is there your usual yardage, hole number and then the name of the course! They did however spray paint on the cart path, be it at least 10 years ago , I later noticed, the name of the course and and arrow pointing in a direction!! Barely visible let alone legible!
It was 90' out! No water coolers out n about around the course! Saw one water fountain! Cart girls were nowhere to be seen in the 18holes we played! Saw them as we were checking in, but that was it!!

Agreed about the $75.00. I paid $20.00 per person with a cart on Hot deals. 1:52 tee off.
