Dogwood/Oak Tree at Middle Island Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Middle Island Country Club sits almost at the center of Long Island and has been one of the area's most popular public golf courses since first opening in 1965. The 27-hole course is divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The entire layout was carefully carved from 225 acres of the Lustengarten Nursery. Middle Island's Dogwood/Oak combination features narrow fairways lined with trees. The greens on the front nine are the most challenging of any of the three nines. They have subtle breaks that leave many golfers wondering how they "just missed" it. The Oak nine is almost as tough, but you will get a slight break. It requires careful course management since there are many doglegs that can make it play longer than what's indicated on the scorecard.

Good shape and friendly staff
Played weekday , easy 18 holes within 4 hours.
They keep good shape fairway, green. And staff/ shop/restaurant and starter are very friendly.
Nice Course but bunkers and greens need some work
Played Oak and Spruce 9s. As my title says bunkers need to be sifted to remove stones in them. Also greens had a lot of ball marks. Our group were fixing 2-3 a man on all greens. Also a lot of old scars on greens too. Other than that course was in pretty good shape.
Good course
Played the course for the first time. Good layout for the two 9 holes I played. Will keep going back, since this course is just 12 minutes from me.
Very disappointed with conditions
My friend made the tee time and we were again not allowed to play the Spruce course. This is the 3rd time that we were not allowed to play this course. The others are nothing special. This is the last time that I will play there considering what they charge. The starter was especially rude to us. We were told that the Spruce was closed for maintenance but saw people on the course when we made the turn.
Good pace for Saturday
Good pace of play for a very busy Saturday morning. Fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes and greens were slightly beat-up, but it is mid-summer. Do wish there was more sand in the traps.
Needs work
1. Expensive for what you get
2. Staff in club house was friendly
3. Starter had an attitude. Doesn’t smile
4. The worst practice mats at driving range I’ve ever seen. Holes in all mats. I got small bucket 12 of the balls were split out of 30.
5. Tee boxes were horrible
6. Fairways decent
7. Greens horrible, would everyone just fix their ball marks already
8. bumpiest round driving around I’ve ever had. The cart paths need to be repaved.
9. I believe it’s under new management as per sign. I hope they will use the very expensive greens fees to fix it up. Could be very nice.
Plays like a 35$ round not $75
