Spruce/Dogwood at Middle Island Country Club
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.

Fun course friendly staff
Played last week enjoyed the round, staff was really nice
Fun course but they recently aerated the greens so every green was covered in samd and still charged full price for weekend tee time
Greens
The greens had more sand than a bunker! Air raiding is one thing this was even worse. Should be a discount if the greens are like this
Decent course but price seems too high
Found out on first green that they aerated day before. Would have been nice to know before booking tee time at full price.
This place blows
Worst round I ever played this last week I’m my golfing career….there was more sand on the greens than the bunkers, they didn’t post that they air rated the day day before Labor Day none the less and still banged you for $90. They never accommodate you or go out of their way to Make the experience better. They had the crew out there at 5am on Labor Day continuing to air rate even the one and only practice green, this place just doesn’t get it. By far my least favorite corse on this island and I play them all…it’s easy to see why this is the only corse with tee times available every week. I’ve played here pretty often over my golfing career but I’m done, if there the only place with a time I’d rather not play them support these losers.
Poor course managment
4 1/2 hours to play a round is annoying and unacceptable. Foursome in front of us hitting multiple balls all day.
The greens are horrific
To charge someone $90 with greens like that is a crime. They were air rated and covered in sand. Not worth the money.
Cow pasture with decent greens
I played the Oak course today. I thought that new management would have put some money into course but no.
Seems to have gone backwards in regard to maintenance.
Too bad as course layout is good and greens where not in bad condition.
Maybe next season will be better.
Condition
Aeration made greens impossible to putt with any sense of confidence on the line. Sand traps were poorly kept, with pebbles, rocks. And the tee boxes were awful: many barren. Fairways were in good condition.
Overall, good.
Overall it was in decent shape.. grass should be better kept outside of the fairway. Wish other players would clean up after their shots onto the green. Also the sprinklers going off during the round, come on now, soaking the fairways and greens.
Course is good for 70 a person
Oak conditions could be better.
Overall all greens and fairways were pretty great
Soft after the storm
Fairways and greens were still drying from Henri. Bunkers are ok. Decent course for the money
