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.

Good course but a little high proced
Course has always been great, good conditions. Since new ownership years ago it's been over priced unfortunately but worth a treat.
Challengin & interesting
Had a quick and pleasant round. Because of weather , course empty finished in 2 HRs
A great weather day in DEC. 2014 on the East Coast
Who knew we would have another great weather day in DEC. on the East Coast. Got there a little ahead of my tee time to loosen it was still crisp out in the mid AM. The pace of play was great only caught up to the group ahead on the 8th. hole and to my surprise the slower group let us play through on the turn. The shape of the course was as anyone would expect for this time of year in the east the bunkers were hard and most had water in them from the recent rain as I was in a few any way it was a good time for all and hopefully we'll have another warm spell
Happy Holidays and a happy & Healthy 2015 !
Bonus golf day in late Autumn
Middle Island goes from a very good golf experience to an excellent one when it is not crowded. The course is in excellent condition for any time of year and better than we expected for the last day of Nov. The course presents a challenge for all golfers. High handicappers can have a good time also. The water hole on Spruce is a great challenge and lots of fun. The GPS on the carts are a great help.
Waited on every shot
First...this is a great course, greens were incredible, and the new management is awesome...having said that 4 3/4 hrs, waiting on every shot is not acceptable given the price. You need rangers who will keep the players moving...we were actually held up all day by (2) twosomes....this is not ok...
Been a while since i played here; It was great!
It had been a year since i had been here and last time it seemed like it was on the decline, but i have to say the course looked great and it was very pleasant.
Long course, tight fairways
Title says it all. But I liked it and would play again.
the course is kept in great shape
I like playing here the course is kept in great shape especially spruce and oak ,dogwood not as good as other 2 but not bad.The course is long not one of these narrow short condo type courses,this was built in 1960,s when plenty of land to build.The carts have gps. I play in afternoons and have usally finished in 4hrs which is better than 6 hr round at bethpage.The clubhouse is old with few amenities but if you just want a good fast round of golf on a well kept and challenging course then check it out
Money well worth it!
Enjoyable course. Areas around green, especially beyond rough, could be better maintained. Bar area could use updating. Fortunately, twosome in front of me allowed me to play thru to finish round in 3 hours.
Pretty Nice Course
First time playing this course on Sunday, 8/24/14.
Good condition, very scenic, some very interesting holes with crazy pin placement. Front nine took 2 hours and 45 minutes and the staff couldn't care less. Played Dogwood on the back 9 in 1 and a half hours. Much more enjoyable pace. Overall I will not be playing this course again.
Middle Island
There was an outing going on, and we did not play more then 3 holes, and we turned around and tried a different course. When we finished the 9, the starter misinformed us and there was an even bigger delay. The staff was rude and unaccomadating. Your site never should have sold the time.

long course" par 3's are long, par 5 's long and tight, have to be extra careful, challenging, greens are fine. needs cutting, fairways are maintained,.
Good course
Speed of play was good. 4 hours. Conditions excellent. No refreshment on the course no water either.
nice course
Course in great shape. Greens were a little slow.
The course was empty took less than 3 hours to play.
Oil spill spoils the day
The day was great Unfortunately we had to play the same 9 holes TWICE as the OAK course had an oil spill and the SPRUCE was backed up with a very long wait I would think that the course should offer a free half round or discounted full round , but , that was not offered

Played Dogwood to Spruce. Both very nice. Will go back soon.
Excellent 27 hole course. Any combo of the nines is good.
Excellent 27 hole course. Have played on all combinations of the three nines. Spruce is the nicest. All three in extremely good shape especially the greens which are huge. Very long par threes and tight fairways like all 27 hole courses. Have to stay in the middle. A lot of trees separating the fairways.
The course and greens were in great shape.
I enjoyed playing there and using Golf Now was a real bargain. The only drawback was people don't fix their ball marks on the greens. Other than that it was excellent .
