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.

The greens were pretty bumpy. Many ball marks on the greens. Fairways were nice. Bunkers were in good condition. Well raked under the trees. Tee boxes were a little ratty.

Course still playable in late September

Played there on the last Sunday in Sept. Was warned beforehand that the course was being aerated so we were prepared and expecting the worst. However, the course is still in pretty good condition for this time of year. Most of the greens ran well (though some still had sand). We had Dog to Spruce, which IMO is the best of the 3 9-hole courses here and the pace was great The last hole on Spruce is a great one to end the day on....open fairway to an elevated sloping green.

This course is in bad shape. Greens are terrible. Not worth the money. Will not play this course the rest of the remaining golf season at this price point. I understand it been a long golf season but you should lower your fees after Labor Day and after you aerate the course.

Where to begin...

Visiting with friends and family on our annual golf trip. We took a chance on a new course to branch out. When we found this course with 4 star rating for $90, we thought this was a cant miss opportunity to play another nice Long Island course. Upon arrival, the course looked good from far but once we were on it, it was far from good. The tee boxes resembled a horse shoe pit and left much to be desired. With my brand of golf, i tend to see every facet of the golf course. And each facet that i saw, got worse and worse. After our 3 hour front 9, we decided the juice simply was not worth the squeeze. In closing, may God have Mercy on the folks who run that golf course. Thank you.

Value

$70 for midweek is a little steep. Like the layout but this isn’t the only course around that has kept their fees high

not worth the trip

There is nothing about this course that would make me come back. The price is high and the conditions were not good. The greens had sand on every one and the pace of play was SLOW. We even skipped a hole as the group in front of us were not good golfers playing from the blue tees. No ranger around either

Poor conditions

The greens were aireated and sanded, which is understandable but the cups were overgrown with grass reducing the size of the holes and causing balls to deflect that should have gone in.

When complaint was made to Management they said there was not time to recut the holes and would not make any sort of accomandations for course conditions

Bottom Tier of Golf Courses

This course is slightly better than Rolling Oaks but it’s in the same category. Terrible pace of play, greens were punched, weeds growing everywhere and bunkers are full of rocks. The best conditioned part of the course are the fairways. When I examine a golf course, I ask; Does this course enhance my golf experience or take away from it? This course takes away from it.

Greed has gotten to this course

Showed up for a 9:00am tee time drove out to starter. This is a 3 course 9 hole set up. The starter area looked like New Years Eve at Time square. People all

Over the place waiting to go out. I had played here several times this season so I asked the starter and ranger what was going on. I was told that there was up to a half hour delay because ownership was setting tee times 5 minutes apart. Every starting hole had a group on the box 1 in the fairway and one on the green with at least 2 groups waiting. The shape of the course has gone down hill. Lots of dead spots in fairways some greens are shot. Sorry to see the almighty dollar ruin this course.
