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.

Middle island golf club
long course" par 3's are long, par 5 's long and tight, have to be extra careful, challenging, greens are fine. needs cutting, fairways are maintained,.
Good course
Speed of play was good. 4 hours. Conditions excellent. No refreshment on the course no water either.
nice course
Course in great shape. Greens were a little slow.
The course was empty took less than 3 hours to play.
Oil spill spoils the day
The day was great Unfortunately we had to play the same 9 holes TWICE as the OAK course had an oil spill and the SPRUCE was backed up with a very long wait I would think that the course should offer a free half round or discounted full round , but , that was not offered

Played Dogwood to Spruce. Both very nice. Will go back soon.
Excellent 27 hole course. Any combo of the nines is good.
Excellent 27 hole course. Have played on all combinations of the three nines. Spruce is the nicest. All three in extremely good shape especially the greens which are huge. Very long par threes and tight fairways like all 27 hole courses. Have to stay in the middle. A lot of trees separating the fairways.
The course and greens were in great shape.
I enjoyed playing there and using Golf Now was a real bargain. The only drawback was people don't fix their ball marks on the greens. Other than that it was excellent .
Good, Moderate.
Oak tree course was more hilly and challenging. Spruce was mostly flat and had wider fairways. Overall green and fairway condition was good.
Nice course, slow play
Fairways and greens are in great shape. Miss the fairway and you can be playing from patches of grass/dirt. With three 9 hole courses I expected the pace to be much better. We arrived early to warm up or try and get out earlier then our tee time. We did not see anyone tee off in the hour we warned up but were told
We could not tee off early. Just before our time 2 groups went out and we wound up waiting on nearly every hole. Something must have changed after us because we did not see a group behind us on the entire back 9. Starter was unfriendly borderline rude.
Overall nice course, would go back but either later afternoon or weekdays
Middle island
The course was in good shape and the pace of play was fine. I will definitely play there again.
good, challenging course. great variety of holes
Course is in great condition, getting better each year since the new ownership took over. Greens have been consistently excellent even after minor airation. Hopefully they'll be able to turn their attention to the clubhouse in the next few years, as it's in need of an overhaul.
Great Round, Greatly improved Courses
I have been to MICC before but not in the last few years. My past experiences led me to look for other courses to play locally. Having heard all the rumors about money being spent to improve these courses, I decided to see for myself. What a surprise. The fairways are now all grass, not the crab grass I remembered. The greens were perfect, rolled and without ball marks. We teed of 7:30 and were finished at 11:25. A hair under 4 hours. Will definitely be playing MICC more often....
ALMOST THERE..........
Staff was cordial and professional. The course is a great layout and well maintained. They could add a little more rough in places to increase the challenge. The greens are fast enough to enjoy and not hard to read. Very playable for all skill levels. The clubhouse does not have much to offer. Although large, it is in need of a major renovation. Overall conditions were very good. I feel this course is about two years away to living up to the prices charged. Nicer courses in the immediate area don't charge as much. A very good experience overall. I will return..........
Middle Island Jewel
Enjoy this great course combo. This track is pristine and has been revamped by the new management. This is a well kept course. I've played private courses on LI and this one is WELL KEPT from tee boxes to fairways from rough to bunkers from in the woods to greens. True, tough yet fair. Have fun.
Not happy to see us
When checking in the owner was very abrupt
with us. I think it is because we had a GOLF NOW tee time. There was few cars in the parking lot and very few golfers. The owner made us WAIT intil the exact time to let us tee off. . There was nobody teeing off for over 30 minutes and we had to waiI
Middle Island - Not Bad
Good pace of play, course in decent conditions.
My only issue was that the bunkers were atrocious. Granted, it rained the night before, but players were not raking their foot prints etc....
Nice layout
Very nice layout. Unfortunately the pace on the first 9 was close to 3 hours. I was able to ask the starter if I could play a different 9 at the turn and joined another single. Played that 9 in a little over 2 hours. I don't mind 4 1/2 hour round but 6 hours is crazy.
Beautiful tree lined fairways and slight rolling terrain make this a very nice layout.
Nice course, slow play
The course was in good shape and the staff was friendly, but the pace of play was slow for midweek.
For $25, wow!
4 hr round on a Saturday afternoon! Greens in great shape. Fairways were a littlelong butin good shape. Areas around greens were not in good shape. Bunkers were an improvement from past rounds but still too many rocks. The length of the course always makes it as challenging as any course on the island. Worth the trip.
excellent conditions
excellent conditions, bunkers needed a little work. tees fairways and greens as good as a private club. you get your moneys worth.
