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.

Dogwood and Spruce are enjoyable
Played in light rain. Course is in better condition than previous years
Well Worth The Ride
Middle Island is a long and tight and challenging course. They keep it in very good condition. The staff is extremely accomodating and friendly. But bring your own drinks and snacks because they do not always have a cart person.
Middle Island
Good course but a bunch of the greens are destroyed by divots not there fault but greens could use a little extra tlc from staff and ppl who use the course its not hard to fix ur divots
Slow but not courses fault
Just got in our round, due to the very slow group ahead of us, the course was in good shape, especially since we had just come out of a recent storm. Tee boxes were a little chewed up, might need to move them more often, and a little crab grass clearing would go a long way. However on the whole a good round on a good day, will be back.
Finally a break from heat
Today is a break from a long string of high temp heat which lasted prob month and 1/2. Played Oaktree to Spruce, front 9 need course management to avoid rough and trees. Back 9 needs to put ball at places to have a chance to use your long iron/woods to get on the green. Over-all fun would keep coming back!!
Spruce course was nice, dogwood greens were beat up.
Awesome
3 of my friends and I had an awesome time on this course. It’s a pretty easy course overall with challenging components (deep par 3) (water). We all loved the course and already spoke about booking another tee time!
I booked 18 holes and paid and they only let me play 9 and would not refund any money or credit me or my account. They said i had to contact golf now but they never get back to me about this
Better off hitting balls in your back yard.
Understandable that a lot of courses have seen some heavy traffic this year with everyone at home, but the conditions in relation to the price was reprehensible.
Not my first time playing the course and I'd say it's mediocre at best when well kept (not that I've seen it well kept) but today took the cake. The course is basically crab grass dirt and rocks. Greens literally look like mine fields with putts skipping and playing plinko across the surface.
To say it fairly, if this ended up being the only course open on long island, I'd just take up a new sport as opposed to playing here ever again. At 86$ (price with cart) this place is an absolute JOKE.
Old day!
Hadn’t played here since June. Fairways and greens in very good shape!
Early tee time. Done in a little over 4 hrs.
Extremely slow play for a twilight round, balls flying every where, granted we played the day after the “hurricane” it was wet and very slow greens, the course was packed, no real order or control. Tight fair ways and holes on top of eachother had balls flying every where. Fairways were in decent shape, most tee boxes were ok. Players do not repair pitch marks or divots, which isn’t the courses fault is the disrespect of inexperienced players.
