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.

Worth the drive
Course is in great shape . A few greens a little choppy but overall great course, tight challenging holes. Worth the drive out
Course in need of better landscaping
There were several spots needing grass or landscaping . The course played well and was well taken care of for coronavirus..
Great condition
Course has a (3) 9 hole layout which allowed the starter adjust accordingly to control or better the pace of play. Green and fairway is in great condition, but some tee box are bare due to probably frequency of rounds been played. Overall condition are great, layout is fun between Dogwood & Oak tree course. Clubhouse needs a update but I rather see they spend money on the course itself than there which I don’t spend much time there anyways. Love it, will keep going back if it weren’t so far out for me.
Enforcing routing by Starter
Two weeks ago we were routed by Starter to play Oakwood to Spruce. When we came to Spruce other foursomes were converging there from Dogwood. No Starter around to sort this out. Finished round playing Dogwood. Yesterday 7/9 was no problem. Which 9 are golfers directed to when they are only playing 9. Having to get involved with other golfers in this kind of issue is not pleasant and should be totally handled by Starter or Ranger
Average at best
Insanely overpriced. I played Bethpage black for less money. Bunkers are awful, greens We’re bumpy, and the course is just all dog legs and long. Good luck.
Rainy day, but good game anyway...
Course was overall pretty good. Greens we ok, a little beat up but that seems to be the case with a lot of course this year...nobody is repairing their divots!! This place is made up of 3 separate 9 hole courses. Dog is a mix of long and wide holes, Spruce is wide open with some water in play and elevated greens. Oak (my back nine this round) is the longest of the 3 and plays tighter. Also more hilly. In summary, had a great time out, always even my rounds here
Best corse I been
This was easily one of the nicest corses I played on. Staff was friendly pace of play was amazing. Very spread out. Challenging yet very fun. Very nice long holes. My new favorite spot. Beer cart could use more beers but beer is beer. Loved it!
Very good course
Staff is great and very accommodating, course is very well taken care of.
Great shape
Played here many times. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Layout of all three nine holes is fair and challenging. Tee boxes and sand traps need work.
Fun course
Course was in good shape. The three 9 hole setup is Challenging. I’m a senior golfer so some holes played long for me. Got off right on time. Starter had good control. Cart girl on course. Course in good shape with the exception of the idiots that don’t fix their green pitch marks. Will play again. .
Day at the course
The weather was perfect ,the course was in good condition. The course played well with people obeying current restrictions and conditions.Enjoyed the course and the company.
Great Day to play golf
This course has three nines Oak Dogwood and Spruce.
If the starter gives you Spruce at the turn be careful of other groups jumping in front you this will slow you down and usually happens later in the day when the starter is gone
I played Oak and Dogwood and although dogwood appears to be a carbon copy of oak it’s greens are in better shape and forces you to play fades and draws
Enjoyed my round and took ten skins
Horrible
The starter didn’t let us finish playing the course we were assigned he wanted us to go to another nine hole course after we had already played 6 holes
Not good
Don’t go to this gold course the starter is an idiot, he made us play 18 holes on three different courses. Terrible experience wish I could get a refund
