Oak Tree/Spruce at Middle Island Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Above Average price for below average everything
This review is not as much a reflection or the quality of the facilities, course conditions/layout or staff. But more a reflection of how significantly overpriced greens fees are for an experience worse than the average muni course. Won't be returning anytime soon
Great condition
The new owners and management have significantly improved the condition of this course.
Middle Island
Great spot place has improved. Need to improve communication from app when there is an outing.
Overall review
Greens were very sketchy, looks like the cups were never cut for a few days. Holes were overgrown with grass. Pace of play was good. Staff friendly, not much going on at the club
Too much wrong
I wanted to like this course. Liked the layout. Some good looking holes but just too much to not like. Rocks in bunkers . No sand , just dirt. Fairways are nice , but don’t miss them or you’ll be dealing with dirt, rocks, weeds etc… Greens looked good from a distance, till you got on them. Does anybody know how to repair a divot? Pockmarked doesn’t even begin to describe them. Slow as well. For $85 in the afternoon I would’ve done better playing a muni….UGH!!
Well Worth the Ride
I drive an hour to play here and it is worth every minute for a mid-afternoon tee-time. I feel like I have the course to myself and I finished in under three hours.
450 par four?
450 par four on the 10th hole - white tees- gold tees at about 440 - 95% of your golfers are not reaching in 2
Starter
The starter is absolutely the worst. Just a really unpleasant guy. Makes me not want to play at this course just because of him.
This course used to be absolutely amazing I don’t know what happened to it.
Definitely not where near how it used to be. To make things worse they definitely book 3 Tee times at the same time. Since it’s 27 holes. However you will be doing fine till you get to the next 9 with a different group in front of you just starting off.
This course should really switch off there 18 each day not offer 27 and have the courses replenish itself.
If anything maybe offer a 9.
Very challenging
Going Oak to Dogwood proved very challenging as both are very tight and hilly. As a result, it was not one of my better days.
Needs better maintenance
Excellent layout but not taken care of at all. Tee box was chewed up, greens had marks all over it. Tremendous potential but will not be back as the course is not taken care of at all.
Good but Could Have Been Better
Fairways were newly groomed but the pin placements were unreasonable and that combined with aeration made green play excessively difficult for amateurs. The traps are dirt not sand and no one else rakes.
