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.

Good, Moderate.
Oak tree course was more hilly and challenging. Spruce was mostly flat and had wider fairways. Overall green and fairway condition was good.
Nice course, slow play
Fairways and greens are in great shape. Miss the fairway and you can be playing from patches of grass/dirt. With three 9 hole courses I expected the pace to be much better. We arrived early to warm up or try and get out earlier then our tee time. We did not see anyone tee off in the hour we warned up but were told
We could not tee off early. Just before our time 2 groups went out and we wound up waiting on nearly every hole. Something must have changed after us because we did not see a group behind us on the entire back 9. Starter was unfriendly borderline rude.
Overall nice course, would go back but either later afternoon or weekdays
Middle island
The course was in good shape and the pace of play was fine. I will definitely play there again.
good, challenging course. great variety of holes
Course is in great condition, getting better each year since the new ownership took over. Greens have been consistently excellent even after minor airation. Hopefully they'll be able to turn their attention to the clubhouse in the next few years, as it's in need of an overhaul.
Great Round, Greatly improved Courses
I have been to MICC before but not in the last few years. My past experiences led me to look for other courses to play locally. Having heard all the rumors about money being spent to improve these courses, I decided to see for myself. What a surprise. The fairways are now all grass, not the crab grass I remembered. The greens were perfect, rolled and without ball marks. We teed of 7:30 and were finished at 11:25. A hair under 4 hours. Will definitely be playing MICC more often....
ALMOST THERE..........
Staff was cordial and professional. The course is a great layout and well maintained. They could add a little more rough in places to increase the challenge. The greens are fast enough to enjoy and not hard to read. Very playable for all skill levels. The clubhouse does not have much to offer. Although large, it is in need of a major renovation. Overall conditions were very good. I feel this course is about two years away to living up to the prices charged. Nicer courses in the immediate area don't charge as much. A very good experience overall. I will return..........
Middle Island Jewel
Enjoy this great course combo. This track is pristine and has been revamped by the new management. This is a well kept course. I've played private courses on LI and this one is WELL KEPT from tee boxes to fairways from rough to bunkers from in the woods to greens. True, tough yet fair. Have fun.
Not happy to see us
When checking in the owner was very abrupt
with us. I think it is because we had a GOLF NOW tee time. There was few cars in the parking lot and very few golfers. The owner made us WAIT intil the exact time to let us tee off. . There was nobody teeing off for over 30 minutes and we had to waiI
Middle Island - Not Bad
Good pace of play, course in decent conditions.
My only issue was that the bunkers were atrocious. Granted, it rained the night before, but players were not raking their foot prints etc....
Nice layout
Very nice layout. Unfortunately the pace on the first 9 was close to 3 hours. I was able to ask the starter if I could play a different 9 at the turn and joined another single. Played that 9 in a little over 2 hours. I don't mind 4 1/2 hour round but 6 hours is crazy.
Beautiful tree lined fairways and slight rolling terrain make this a very nice layout.
Nice course, slow play
The course was in good shape and the staff was friendly, but the pace of play was slow for midweek.
For $25, wow!
4 hr round on a Saturday afternoon! Greens in great shape. Fairways were a littlelong butin good shape. Areas around greens were not in good shape. Bunkers were an improvement from past rounds but still too many rocks. The length of the course always makes it as challenging as any course on the island. Worth the trip.
excellent conditions
excellent conditions, bunkers needed a little work. tees fairways and greens as good as a private club. you get your moneys worth.
Classic mature country club
Middle island is a classic mature country golf club. Well maintained, generous fairways, guarded greens, which have lots of undulations.
Overpriced
Too expensive for level of course. Courses will continue to close until they realize that the cost of playing golf is just too expensive.
see review
nice course-need to cut the greens
need to clean up the bunkers
Great Course
Played this course for 20 bucks with a friend and it was awesome.
Would definitely play this course again when I can. Bring at least two bottles of water to stay hydrated.
this course is in great shape!
Haven't played this course in years, but can't wait to go back and play it again.
Good Value!
I was met by the Starter and put on the Spruce instead of the Dogwood nine. I think he did that to get me onto the course quicker than playing on the course I thought I would be playing. I played the front nine alone in about 11/2 hours. And the back nine in about 2 hours even though I had a two foursomes in front of me and a foursome behind me. I was impressed by the pace of play. I'm going back to this course because it was fair and challenging.
Great local muni
Course keeps getting better kudos to the whole crew keep up the good work
