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.

very long course from the white tees and uphill
alot of times going into a breeze can change alot
of the way you play, overall demanding yet fair layout ..be ready to reach for something extra in your bag
Not worth the weekend fees
Needs TLC and an eye for trimming. Greens airrated with out notice.
What could be
Although the fairways, greens and tee boxes for the the most part were average, a ball just a few feet off the fairway were less then a desirable. Missing the green by 5 feet should be expected a nice grassy lie. The building hasn't had a new coat of paint or the carpet updated in years. The course is a great layout, but ownership not putting any money into course and amenities for capital improvements leaves this course as a pass by to better courses near by
Vast Improvement
First time that I played here this year. They are making great strides in the overall appearance of the course. Tee to green, it is a very good course to play. Looking forward to going back soon.
Love the course. Beautiful scenery. One problem.. They have no water for 18 holes. If people don't know that it can be a problem
Clubhouse is outdated and very old.
NICE
I PLAYED BY MYSELF. THREE GROUPS LET ME GO AHEAD, PLAYED IN LESS THEN 2 HOURS. {TWO BALLS) THE COURSE HAS SOME LONG PAR 4'S. THERE ARE THREE 9 HOLE COURSES. THEY WERE IN GOOD SHAPE. SOME HOLES ARE LONG AND NARROW. I GOT A GREAT PRICE AND A FAST ROUND, PERFECT FOR ME.
Interesting layout
After playing here several years I can see the money that they have put into this course and have made great changes to improve it. I think perhaps it's just that my golf game has elevated and I would rather play on much more pristine courses that don't cost much more than what I paid for Middle Island. Don't like being penalized for missing the green by just a bit and having to chip off of crabgrass or patches of dirt. The sand bunkers on the Dogwood were mostly dirt and not sand. They have been that way for a while. The fairways were Immaculate and the greens were just fair and true. I guess if my game was so elevated I'd be hitting greens and Fairways and wouldn't have a beef. I hate to give this course a negative review ,so I will say this, if you have never played it, it is definitely worth a shot.
if they could get the greens faster and fix the traps this course would be 5 star.
Challenging
Long course in average shape. I'm guessing the long holes keep the shorter hitters away. There's a challenging 470 yard par 4.
This course has 3 nine hole courses to choose from for your round of 18
With new management/ownership this course is one of my favorites!
Their outings are fantastic.
Their staff in the pro shop & starters are very friendly and funny.
Some of the staff are fantastic golfers. Probably no handicap. So your low handicappers love this course.
I play 5x a week at least. I love this course. Great layout !!!!
Course is in great shape
I have played this course on and off for 5 years. This year is the best shape the course has been in during that time. It is clear the management is taking pride in the course. The greens are fast and can be tough to read with slight nuances. All of that said, it is time to work on the clubhouse. It does not effect the golf but it clearly needs to be brought up to the standard of the rest of the course. It is a good test and a lot of fun. Worth playing, just needs a better 19th to finish the experience.
Golf
The course plays well and the 27 holes make for good pace of play although the course was updated still needs tlc around the course allot of bare spots
