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.

Decent Value But Pack Lunch
The course was in good shape, including greens, and the staff were super friendly. The beverage cart only came by twice and didn’t have any food. There were only hot dogs at the bar. Overall, decent value.
Did not play
Turns out they had a 200 person outing going out just before us
Would have been nice to know that ahead of time
We did not want to play a 5+ hour round so we requested a refund which was provided
Horrible
Played when they had an outing. Terrible dog track but the greens are decent.
Good course
Nothing else was available day before. This is a good last resort course you can book the day before.
Decent a little overpriced
Greens we’re beat up and slow. I didn’t play well. Playing partners were mean and took my money.
Not worth the price
Paid $96 worst value I’ve ever had on a course 6 hour round, backed up 2 groups on every hole and the greens were absolutely terrible ball was jumping all over the place. Not worth it save your money
Terrible Greens, no cart service!
The greens are currently (mid August 2024) in terrible condition… we were trying to get a morning tee time locally at the last minute on the night before and this course was the only one that was available. The only reason we can figure it out is that the condition of the greens was keeping other knowledgeable locals away. It’s a nice layout, pace of play was really good, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. But I’m not going back until someone can verify for me that they’ve repaired the greens. Also, I was hoping and expecting that we might be able to get some beverages and snacks while on the course, but we never saw a cart person; Not a game changer, but definitely disappointing.
Greens Suck
Course is in terrible shape and not worth the price
Slow & Poor Greens
Somehow it was over a 5 hour round even with 3 different 9 holes. Starter decided to have us wait behind a group to tee off when the other tee box was open up until we tee’d off 15 minutes later. Slowest round with no ranger keeping pace of play. Greens were in terrible condition. New management decided to make the price $100 but keep the same poor conditions. Not worth the insane price and slow pace. Will not be back unless the price, pace, and conditions change.
Friday afternoon Golf
Three nines, was shocked making turn when group a different group was in front of us ! The were very slow, two hole open in front of them and they wouldn’t let us pass.
No good
For sure the worst course for your dollar you can play right now. Pay the extra 30 and play Windwatch. Greens have dozens of ball divots and dirt spots. Tee boxes were a war zone. Starter put out a 2 sum in front of my 4 sum, and then puts a 2 sum behind us. Will not be coming back for $98. Not good
5 hours
Always a great day when you’re golfing. 5 hour rounds are not. Course was crowded due to walk ups being mixed in with scheduled tee times.
