Spruce/Dogwood at Middle Island Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located almost in the center of Long Island, the aptly named Middle Island Country Club is one of the area's most popular public golf courses. The 27-hole layout is divided into three nines that are played in 18-hole combinations. The Spruce/Dogwood begins with a front nine that underwent a major renovation in 2008. An island green was added to the par-4 seventh and another major addition was new tee boxes to accommodate women, seniors, and championship play. Middle Island Country Club's Spruce nine boasts generous fairways and large greens where there is plenty of room to grip it and rip it. Take advantage of the scoring opportunities on this nine because the Dogwood nine gets much more challenging. The back nine is a formidable test with narrows fairways and greens with surprising breaks that will have you wondering how you "just missed" it.

Mediocrity at best
First starter was fantastic. Made the turn and that starter said that we were “out of sequence” and, despite the fact one of us were teed up, decided the the foursome with two kids should go in front of us.
Not a big deal but they couldn’t figure out why.
This was definitely mediocre golf.
Great waste of a day
I live closer to this course in the plate of many times. My biggest mistake Bus choosing to play on a weekend. Clearly, there were many society groups out there that had no consideration to other players when it comes to the volume of the speakers or the volume of their voices. You can’t take a round of golf like this seriously when you’re waiting behind two groups on the tee box and sometimes more on the par 3 holes. And then they charge $100 a round that close to five hours? We didn’t even finish the last three holes because the group ahead of us had joined up with some of their buddies and had no interest in trying to finish the round as quick as possible. Never again.
Sandblasters
We had a 7:04 tee off and we were basically the only group on the course. Didn't see another group until about the 7 th hole. Conditions were great, course is in great condition. Played 18 in under 4 hrs. When done with 18, course was still empty, played another 9

We had a great day spruce to Oak
Greens air rated about a month ago, sometimes slightly affecting puts , the rain, very helpful, beautiful emerald gem
Terrible pace of play.
Had a foursome in front of us that only had two golf bags. They were driving from one opposite side to the other and then took turns putting until everyone was in. Absolutely nuts. No Ranger to be seen. At least 4 twosomes let out. A shame because the course is nice and greens were in great shape.
Can’t go back until they get their act together.
Consistently Well Maintained
Middle Island never disappoints. Beautiful course with a challenging layout. Going value
Pocono Manor Review
Nice traditional facility. Weather was frigid with wind gusts of 20 mph + so not a typical round. Greens need work / obviously aerated recently.
Pace of play
The last few times I’ve played pace of play is terrible. Didn’t bother finishing after we finally skipped ahead of the super slow groups in front of us. There was 3 holes empty in front of them. Saw a group of six players ahead of us and said we are done after sitting on every hole and in every fairway. Definitely frustrating. Three courses. Shouldn’t happen on a Tuesday.
Course was very Nice , in very good shape.
Had a Nice Round with my wife. We Enjoyed the Course and found it Challenging but not overwhelming.
